So Prince Harry writes an article titled "My fears for a divided kingdom" with the subtitle "We must stand against both anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim hate."

Harry's original piece explicitly rejects hierarchy among forms of hatred. He writes: "When anger is turned toward communities – whether Jewish, Muslim, or any other – it ceases to be a call for justice."
Yet the BBC framing created the very imbalance he warned against. His words got filtered through a lens that prioritised one form of bigotry over another, even when the source material demanded equal treatment.

All bigotry deserves equal condemnation. Not just when it fits the narrative.
