Why this shameful BBC film is an abuse of Gaza’s suffering children
by John Hilley
Israel couldn’t have hoped for a greater piece of propaganda than the BBC film Children of the Gaza War.
Protest at the BBC, 15 July, 2014, at the media’s persistent pro-Israel reporting.
Children of the Gaza War is a truly disgraceful piece of distortion by BBC journalist Lyse Doucet. The title is a clear hint of the propaganda to come, based, as ever, on the fatuous ‘two sides’ narrative.
There was no ‘war’, only another orchestrated massacre, a campaign of civil terror, in order to maintain Israel’s wicked, illegal siege. From the first minute of this shoddy film, one just wants to urge Doucet: tell the truth, give the context!
Yes, children suffer and die, but why is this happening? Why have so many Palestinians been murdered? Why have over 500 children been slaughtered? Why are an entire population, notably the children, so deeply traumatised? Tell the truth, provide the context!
Israel is the aggressor force. Gaza is the key target. It lies in ruins. Yet, this truly despicable film affects to argue that Sderot is part of the same ‘war zone’.
Continual reference is made to Israel targeting populated areas from where, it’s claimed, Hamas were launching rockets, just part of the loaded message that Hamas are largely responsible for the carnage.
