The BBC’s fumble leaves the stories of Gaza’s children untold

BBC apologised and removed Gaza : How to Survive a Warzone from the iPlayer on 21 February .

It emerged that Abdullah , the film’s ten-year-old narrator, was the son of a Hamas minister.

A girl featured in the film also has since been identified as the daughter of a former captain in the Hamas -run police force.

In documents filed by AP , its legal team wrote: “The constitution does not allow the government to control speech. Allowing such government control and retaliation to stand is a threat to every American ’s freedom.” The case ought to be an easy win for the news agency. Even pro-Trump outlets Fox News and Newsmax have signed a letter opposing the ban. But will the Trump -appointed judge see it that way? The president, meanwhile, is just happy to keep the well-publicised battle raging. [See also: The godfather of the Maga right].
