In the U.K., over 500 prominent media and entertainment figures signed onto a letter condemning the BBC for pulling the documentary “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone” from its streaming service. The move from BBC came after complaints by pro-Israel activists that the film, about Gazan youth, is narrated by the 14-year-old son of a deputy agriculture minister in Gaza’s Hamas government. The protest letter states, “This broad-brush rhetoric assumes that Palestinians holding administrative roles are inherently complicit in violence — a racist trope that denies individuals their humanity and right to share their lived experiences.”
