The [documentary] production company’s founder, Ben de Pear, said earlier this week the BBC had “utterly failed” and that journalists were “being stymied and silenced”.
BBC News understands the decision to shelve the documentary was taken on Thursday, following public comments by De Pear at the Sheffield Documentary Festival, and another of the film’s directors, journalist Ramita Navai, who appeared on Radio 4’s Today discussing the war in Gaza.
Navai told the programme Israel had “become a rogue state that’s committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing and mass murdering Palestinians”. Israel has denied accusations of war crimes and genocide in Gaza.
TLDR: BBC refuses to run documentary about doctors in Gaza they comissioned because someone involved it is says Israel is committing ethnic cleansing. I think this is one of the most obvious examples on how biased the BBC is towards this situation.
They’re concerned they could appear impartial?
You can’t be “impartial” when it comes to genocide. What Netanyahu is doing is a crime against humanity. Period.
Wow. Just standing with humanity totally uncritically! Like you’ve never even considered the virtues of netanyahu’s position!
Look, im sorry, but failing to ignore genocide just isn’t objective.
Im sorry. Maybe you never went to journalism school, but clearly someone at the bbc did, so maybe leave the big boy decisions up to the adults, hm?
Besides, how will we kill enough children for a bountiful harvest without israel’s help? Global warming isn’t making this any easier, you know.
And I was thinking BBC was one of the most neutral news sources. But then again, regarding this topic, I was even disappointed by The Guardian. I do not trust them any longer.
If you wanna dig more into BBC Censorship and Bias Monbiot wrote a good column in May.
They’re “neutral” in the sense that they’ll give right wing politicians some light criticism when their corruption is no longer easily hidden at all. You only need look at this image they edited of Corbyn and used while he was Labour leader to see how “impartial” they are to left wing politicians.
“In other news, [insert fash talking point]…”
The BBC needs to go. It is working to whitewash genocide. It’s reputation will never recover
