Known for its questionable practices in media, Bild presented the following claims in its report on Erdoğan's visit: "While addressing the public, the Turkish president chose not to mention the Hamas attack on Israel that occurred on October 7th. He also refrained from acknowledging the innocent lives lost to terrorism - including women, men, children, and babies. Unlike his usual aggressive rhetoric towards Israel, this time Erdoğan expressed support for a two-state solution. However, he still accused Israel of destroying Gaza and causing the deaths of 13,000 Palestinians. Additionally, he stated that he has no obligations towards Israel concerning the Holocaust. Those who do owe something to Israel are unable to voice their opinions freely."
Erdoğan's boldness has left pro-Israel media outlets reeling, as Bild's partial coverage of his statements about Israel's devastating bombardment of the blockaded Gaza Strip serves as a model for prejudiced Zionist propaganda.
Going beyond press ethics, the Bild media outlet, known for its pro-Zionist stance, has adopted a policy of defamation aimed at silencing politicians who speak out against the Israeli violence in Gaza that has resulted in numerous casualties among innocent children, women, and elderly men.Bild has been serving as the official mouthpiece for Netanyahu's administration since the October 7 event. In their reporting on the Israel-Palestine conflict, they have consistently relied on unreliable information to paint a misguided picture to the German public. This has included downplaying the deaths of countless innocent Palestinians.
