Back in 2003, the BBC aired a documentary on Israel’s nuclear programme, titled Israel’s Secret Weapon. Israeli leaders hit the roof and banned its officials from appearing on the BBC.
The documentary was spot on. Israel was embarrassed at having its nuclear arsenal exposed when Iraq was being invaded for a non-existent stash of weapons of mass destruction.
I asked a senior BBC official at the time how relations with Israel were panning out. “For a country that wants to influence news coverage, boycotting us is a strange way of doing things,” was the reply, seemingly unruffled by Israeli antics. The BBC did not cave in, and Israel lifted its boycott.
Twenty-five years later, the BBC has lost any semblance of a spine on Israel. Last week, it pulled a documentary titled Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone from its online streaming platform. The corporation said it would carry out a “due diligence” exercise before it could be allowed to air again.
Its not (just) that the BBC doesn’t have a spine, it’s that Zionists have successfully infiltrated the organisation.

It pulled a documentary where the producers had failed to disclose the narrator’s personal connection to Hamas
and how is that relevant?
I’d have thought the reason the BBC withdrew the film would have been relevant to a discussion about the reason the BBC withdrew the film. But that’s just me.
I’m saying it’s a bs reason and it has everything to do with the west palestinian occupation regime
Nice new account to defend Israel you got there. Did you consider reading the article?

The BCC happily makes videos about IDF soldiers giving fake testimonies.
The minister of agriculture is irrelevant. You are grasping at straws with your new account.
Ah, you must be the fediverse welcoming committee to be so interested that I’m new here.
