Under enormous and totally justified pressure, the BBC has pulled a documentary about young, innocent children struggling to survive the war in Gaza that turned out to be totally manipulated Hamas propaganda featuring the children of Hamas bigwigs.

I wrote about the "documentary" yesterday after the controversy erupted. The BBC, which justified airing the documentary done by "independent" Gazan "journalists" (likely funded indirectly using YOUR USAID dollars given to the BBC) was done using BBC journalistic standards. 

That likely was true, because the BBC itself is almost Hamas propaganda, but when it was revealed that the narrator of the film was the child of the Hamas Agriculture Minister and the videographer was also Hamas, the BBC appended a note to indicate these facts. 

In addition - one of the camera crew - who followed the kid around - posted celebrations of the October 7 atrocities. These pro-Hamas agents are the people the BBC paid and relied on for the 'integrity' of their documentary. pic.twitter.com/R2aWol332A

Nor was Abdullah the only child star with a problem. The account @Gazawood1 - found a second child the BBC used - wasn't just a sweet innocent face - but rather a prop that Hamas use to con western media - a boy happiest when surrounded by Hamas terrorists pic.twitter.com/SkPTplDIy1

The pressure didn't abate, and it shouldn't have. The entire documentary was propaganda straight from terrorists, paid for with British and likely American tax dollars. It was a production of what is wryly called "Gazawood," the propaganda media enterprise which stages Israeli "atrocities" and pushes a narrative of lovely Palestinians being harshly oppressed by demonic Jews who drink the blood of Muslim children to quench their thirst for violence. 

And Nourhan - the elder sister of Renad the young chef - she also appears on the documentary. Here is a post of hers celebrating the brutal murder of seven Jews outside a synagogue in January 2023. The post talks about the duty to do revenge in style. pic.twitter.com/1C2lXx0t7W

Hamas, the people who literally beat babies to death for sport and hold parties celebrating the return of corpses to Israel is portrayed as the victim in a war they started.

The antisemitic/pro-terrorist trolls on X are deeply upset that the BBC is pulling the documentary, accusing the 

The BBC have systematically whitewashed Israeli crimes, erased Israeli genocidal intent - and sidelined Palestinian voices.

They do an actual documentary about what it’s like to live through Israel’s genocide.

They end up pulling it.

The child of a civil servant features in the documentary. Why would that male any difference?

Can you imagine the BBC banning a documentary about Ukraine for the same reason?

The pro-Hamas crowd are calling the Hamas Agriculture Minister a "civil servant," which I suppose in a sense he is. But he is also a terrorist, which seems to be the relevant variable.

It's like defending a documentary about the terrible struggles of Eva Braun in World War II Berlin, and defending it by saying she was a civilian so we are wrong to criticize a film that valorizes her struggles.

I. DON'T. CARE. 

Today was a bad day for the pro-Palestine brigade. Their lies about the ‘poor, oppressed’ Palestinians also being victims of Hamas died before their eyes. pic.twitter.com/qpJkLHpIHI

The moral inversion of these antisemites--choosing the side of people who start a war by burning civilians alive and strangling babies, 

Yes, there really are people who are just plain evil

Every person who has ever chanted “from the river to the sea” should immediately denounce Hamas and apologize for being an accessory to pure wickedness pic.twitter.com/cYzKmbvseK

Then they hold parties with cheering crowds celebrating their "victory" over children.  

What has become of the West? What has become of the BBC?
