BBC criticised by 500 media figures for pulling Gaza documentary

  • Five hundred entertainment figures, including Gary Lineker and Riz Ahmed, signed a letter to BBC leaders urging them to stop censorship on Palestine regarding the documentary 'Gaza: How to Survive a War Zone.'
  • The BBC removed the documentary from iPlayer after discovering details about its narrator, the son of a Hamas minister, which the producers failed to disclose.
  • The letter criticized this action, stating that it erases Palestinian suffering and emphasizes the importance of sharing Palestinian voices in media, particularly the experiences of children in Gaza.
  • Gary Lineker's departure from 'Match of the Day' at the end of the season has raised concerns, with many believing it is linked to his expressed political views.
