Britain’s BBC has come under fire over its documentary “Gaza: How to survive a warzone”. The film is significant for two reasons: it is a gripping story inside the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave, where Israel does not allow foreign press to report, and it gives Gazan children a voice. The film follows several young people but after it aired, it emerged that the 13-year-old narrator Abdullah is the son of a deputy agriculture minister in Gaza’s Hamas government. This drew ire from critics, who accused the BBC of airing Hamas propaganda. The BBC then apologised and took the film down, which in turn sparked criticism from others, who said the film was the target of a racist and dehumanising campaign. Our guest is journalist and author Rachel Shabi.
