  • [OT] BBC in serious trouble over documentary it bought from pro-Hamas g

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 28 20:53:53 2025
    The BBC recently aired a documentary that is supposedly a child's-eye
    view of events in Gaza. It failed to explain that the child whose
    viewpoint was explored was a family member of a senior Hamas official.
    However, the truth soon came out and now the BBC is in trouble. Given
    that they spend money on the documentary (money obtained from the BBC
    license fee) and growing suspicions that the filmmakers were somehow
    linked to Hamas or contributing to Hamas, there is the distinct
    possibility that there will be criminal charges since giving money to a
    known terrorist group, like Hamas, is against the law.

    This is far from the first time that the BBC has raised controversy over programming that is believed by many to be slanted against Israel but
    this may be the most serious instance of this tendency. Here's hoping
    the inquiry results in a major housecleaning in the BBC so that it can
    once again be widely perceived as fair and impartial in its coverage of
    Israel.

    Who exactly is considered not to support Hamas in Gaza?

    Isn't this just denouncing the entire populace of Gaza as terrorists.

    You'd have to twist a lot to credit BBC as anti-Israel,
    Jews accuse everyone and everything as being anti-semitic,
    so Jewish accusations of anti-semitism are not proof of
    fact.
