BBC Runs Heart-Wrenching "Documentary" About a Young Boy's Struggle to Surive in the Israeli-Made Warzone of Gaza... Without Ever Disclosing This Boy is the Son of Hamas's Minister of Agriculture

BBC is a front for Qatari-funded terrorism and runs nothing but Hamas propaganda disguised as "news"?

I'm stunned. The world makes no sense any longer. All the world's colors have faded to ash and the even the singing of the birds is strange and hateful to me now.

Deadline Hollywood:

The BBC has apologized and added a clarification to its Gaza: How To Survive a Warzone documentary that featured the son of a Hamas minister, after nearly 50 entertainment figures sent a letter to the corporation to urge an investigation.

Oh, it's a clarification. They had to clarify your stupid Zionist assumption that this was an independently-produced and objective documentary.

I'm sure their apology is very sincere.

The BBC "had not been informed of this information" by the independent producers behind the doc, the corporation added, following backlash from dozens of senior entertainment figures including former BBC controller Danny Cohen, J.K. Rowling's agent Neil Blair, agent Anita Land and ex-Got Talent commissioner Claudia Rosencrantz.

The letter was sent to Director General Tim Davie, content chief Charlotte Moore and BBC News boss Deborah Turness earlier today, urging an investigation after the documentary about children in Gaza that failed to declare that the lead contributor was the son of Hamas royalty.

Oh dear, this is a major blunder. The BBC admits it did not know that the child protagonist in documentary Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone was the son of Hamas royalty. It blames the independent producer for not sharing this info during editorial checks.

Is it fair for the BBC to throw the independent producer under the bus? I suspect many will conclude not. This film was commissioned by a team of seasoned current affairs filmmakers/journalists who sit under BBC News CEO Deborah Turness.

Whoops!

Whoopsie!

Here's a statement from Danny Cohen, the former BBC television chief turned BBC interrogator-in-chief, who has been consistently raising concerns about anti-Israeli bias in Gaza crisis coverage.

George Costanza, a BBC executive funded by a grant from The Human Fund (in turn funded by USAID) emailed me:

"Was that wrong? Because, I gotta tell you, I ran a lot of Hamas-produced 'documentaries' at other leftwing state media propaganda outlets, and they were okay with it. If anyone had said something to me..."

And prepare for another shock: Hamas is already attempting to bomb Israeli buses filled with kids and other civilians again:
