‘Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone’ Gets Hundreds Of Complaints Amid BBC Investigation Into Hamas Links
'Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone' prompted 611 complaints to the BBC after the broadcaster admitted that the documentary's narrator had Hamas links.
The British broadcaster’s fortnightly complaints log has revealed that it received 611 messages from viewers who felt the Hoyo Films documentary was “biased against Israel” and “failed to explore potential connections with Hamas.” The BBC has also come under pressure from Palestinian sympathizers, including Gary Lineker, Riz Ahmed, and Ken Loach, who have described the decision to remove the film from iPlayer as “censorship.” In a letter signed by hundreds, they said: “Conflating such governance roles in Gaza with terrorism is both factually incorrect and dehumanising. This broad-brush rhetoric assumes that Palestinians holding administrative roles are inherently complicit in violence — a racist trope that denies individuals their humanity and right to share their lived experiences.”
