    They’re transferring ownership of the project to the independent production company that produced it so it may still see the light of day.

    As the article mentions, this is not even the first BBC documentary on Palestine that the BBC have pulled from their service after public pressure this year. They pulled one about kids in Palestine in February - after complaints from all the usual Zionist warhawks, including J.K. Rowling.

    The BBC have also pulled documentaries over less - merely “possibly upsetting conservative viewers with truth” is enough. Their leadership are spineless.

    The BBC thinks the facts are too ugly to face.

    because the medic incident proved that it’s impossible to arrive to any other conclusion other than that Israel systematically engages in a state-sanctioned government-ordered UK-supplied-and-directed genocidal ethnic cleansing and that Israel routinely plans and executes coverups for their war crimes as often and as much possible.

    Reminder, the IOF burned and buried the ambulance itself, and waited in ambush and killed the medics who came to rescue the first mudered workers thinking one may still be alive. This only came to news after a video in the phone of one of the buried medics.

      At this point and with how much support Israel has received from the international community, no government is willing to admit how complicit they’ve been in this genocide, even if it is as clear as your comment/the medic incident makes it, so they’re just going to keep pretending.

      The BBC is a Tory mouthpiece, just as it has been for the past decade. Starmer should have cleaned house as soon as he got into office, and implemented Leveson 2.0 at the same time. Instead, the state is funding propaganda that benefits one party.

      People and companies are deathly afraid of being called “antisemitic”. So threats, bullying, and repression are allowed to happen constantly, even as zionists are only something like 1% of the world’s population. “Antisemitism” now means anything short of full support of whatever the state of Israel wants, and even bringing this topic up is said to be antisemitic.

      The very use of the word “Palestinian” is said to itself be a genocide.

      BBC is just not well equipped to deal with that sort of pressure.

      We aren’t the baddies we are just so concerned with criticism that we are happy to look the other way.
