Hundreds Of Media Workers Condemn BBC For ‘Dehumanizing’ Censorship Of Gaza Documentary
Staffers have repeatedly accused executives and editors at the British public broadcaster of having a strong pro-Israel bias and exhibiting racism against Arabs
Over 500 film, TV, and media workers have condemned BBC executives for “racism” and “censorship” after the British broadcaster pulled a documentary highlighting the horrific impact the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza has had on Palestinian children.
“As industry professionals who craft stories for the British public, including for the BBC, we condemn the weaponization of a child’s identity and the racist insinuation that Palestinian narratives must be scrutinized through a lens of suspicion,” the letter reads.
The letter also condemned a “racist” and “dehumanizing” campaign targeting the film ‘Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone,’ which the BBC removed from its iPlayer streaming service after pressure from pro-Israel activists.
“If every documentary made in conflict zones were subjected to this level of politicized scrutiny regarding contributors, filmmaking in these areas would become virtually impossible,” the letter adds, highlighting that “silencing a child’s firsthand account of survival in Gaza, where over 13,000 children have been killed since October 2023, is not about compliance but about erasing Palestinian suffering.”
Signatories of the protest letter include Gary Lineker, Anita Rani, Ruth Negga, Juliet Stevenson, Khalid Abdalla, and Miriam Margolyes.
