      Some grammatical errors exists in your story, that need correction.                                  It would have been better if you had written a critical story of both parties in the war.                      Critically, the link of Taylor, that I read refuted your article.                                   Seriously, your article is even 'biase' against the  BBC.

      You certainly have a lot to say here, but much of your article comes across as opinion based rather than fact based. If you can back up your claims then you should add a reference section at the end of your article listing your sources.  As Rupert mentioned, you need to credit your image and be sure you have permission to use it. I would suggest adding another image as well.  I also suggest changing your text headings so they are more Google searchable.

      I have to say, you are correct. The fact that the BBC refused to call Hamas a terror organisation was the first indicator that they did not think the Oct 7th attack was a big deal. Then they forbade employees from attending the single pro-Israel march while perfectly happy for them to go on the weekly pro-Palestine marches that call for the destruction of Israel.
      
      I do not support either side because i have suspicions regarding Israel's top notch surveillance systems but the BBC bias is clear for all to see.
      
      It was the same during Brexit and it will be the same during the upcoming election.
      
      You have aired what a lot of us know but you need to back up your claims with actual examples of bias with dates. At the moment it is merely a shallow opinion piece. You should be able to find many criticisms online to help you. Not to mention complaints made to OFFCOM So, more research and more facts needed.

   Do you have permission to use the top image? It needs to be credited as to source and free of copyright restrictions.
   
   There are a few typos so a thorough proofreading is needed.
   
   To make your case you need to cite examples; all you have is allegations that the BBC is anti-Semitic. Allegations do not constitute proof.
   
   I'm reasonably sure that Palestinians would take the exact opposite view to yours on the BBC's reporting of the current conflict.
   
   Indeed, here is an article about complaints of BBC bias that shows half come from Israelis and half from Palestinians.

   This reads as a blog-style opinion piece which don't usually do well here.
   
   It's important to understand that HP isn't a blogging site. If you are going to make an argument, as Writer Janice says, it's important to back up assertions with, for example, references.
   
   Also, if you want your articles to be widely read, it's important to learn some SEO too, which can be found in the Help section (top right of this page). This means things like choosing a title which includes keywords that are commonly searched for.
   
   Lastly, HP recommends writing on evergreen topics.
   
   Medium is a better place for publishing current events and blog-style opinion pieces. Discover may be the best you can hope for here.

               Okay. But pehaps you live in a European country? I doubt it if you registered while living in  Jamaica, except that you travelled out to  America, or otherwise to do it?                                                      That would easily facilitated your registration, right?                                                  Please, enlighten me. Thanks.

                                 From the profile pic, the reader might presume that the author is some sort of puppy. It doesn't engender trustworthiness and expertise.
                                 
                                 Neither does the nonexistent bio.
                                 
                                 I won't even comment on the IP thing.
                                 
                                 I will say that if one wants to be mysterious, then fine, it's a personal choice. However, it will undermine credibility with being seen as a serious writer in the public sphere.
                                 
                                 It may also be a factor in getting so few articles into the niches.

   Probably better putting it on a blog, as it's baseless opinion. Also, even if a Hamas fighter uses women, children, or even a hospital as a human shield, only a psychopath would destroy the entire hospital to get to them. You don't kill 10,000 children in an act of revenge or because you think a bad guy might be standing behind them. And to say Hamas had no provocation, well, when the widows and orphans of this year's attack start picking up arms, I'm sure you'll say the same about them. You did ask for feedback.
