Our response to the BBC’s shameful statement on ‘Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone’
Following Thursday’s BBC board meeting and statement on ‘Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone’, Artists for Palestine UK said: “We are appalled that the BBC has chosen to give credence to a politicised campaign that sought to discredit a documentary about children’s experiences of unspeakable Israeli military violence, because one child’s father was deputy agriculture minister in Gaza. This disgraceful decision comes despite nearly 900 media figures having warned the BBC of the dangers of such an approach.
