The BBC has edited down parts of the BAFTA acceptance speech delivered by the team behind the documentary "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack," after the filmmakers publicly criticized the broadcaster for refusing to air the film.
During the ceremony, executive producer Ben de Pear questioned the BBC directly, saying: "Given that you dropped our film, will you drop us from the BAFTA TV screening later on tonight?"
The documentary, which focuses on Israeli attacks on Gaza's healthcare system and medical workers, was later aired by Channel 4 after the BBC declined to broadcast it.
The BBC has compiled evidence of more than 160 cases where Palestinian children were deliberately shot in the head.
Israel is executing children as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza and Lebanon.
Supporting Israel in 2026 is no different than supporting Germany in 1942.
Funny that - But UK Gov under Tories crashed Scottish scheme because they claimed you couldn’t have a glass recycling system in Scotland and not the rest of the UK
Of course we knew it was just blatant political skulduggery
We are always told Iran is the dangerous aggressor but the last time it invaded anywhere was in 1856.
While Israel are invading 3 countries right now.
And the USA are bombing, starving and imprisoning the leader of 3 different countries.
Who is really the dangerous aggressor?
Blaming asylum seekers for homelessness? What about the 720,000 empty homes in England, and the 1,627,450 second homes in England alone.
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive food shops? What about the £3,100,000,000 profit Tesco made last year?
Blaming asylum seekers for expensive energy bills? What about the £438,000,000,000 made by just 20 energy companies in profit?
Blaming immigrants for not getting an NHS appointment? What about the 260,000+ migrant workers keeping the NHS going? And what about the 25% real term cut in NHS funding, think that could do it?
Blaming people on welfare for a lack of money to fund the NHS? What about the £36,000,000,000 tax gap due to avoidance and evasion by the elite?
It's time to realise it's not immigrants, asylum seekers or people on welfare causing you any harm, it's capitalism and the mega rich hoarding all the wealth.
The US soldiers who are getting killed in Iran were not heroes. They did not die defending their country. They did not die fighting to protect Americans. They died advancing the geostrategic agendas of oligarchs and empire managers which benefit ordinary Americans in no way.
It's important not to valorize these people for two reasons. Firstly, it assists US military recruitment by falsely portraying these imperial stormtrooper careers as noble and heroic. Secondly, it falsely frames the war they died in as a righteous cause which is making the world a better place, rather than as a war of aggression against a nation that posed literally zero threat to their homeland.
These are not harmless little white lies. They are extremely destructive propaganda narratives which facilitate acts of mass military slaughter on real human beings.
Don't assist the warmongers in circulating these lies. Don't pretend they are true to help people feel nice feelings about the dead soldiers. People should not be feeling nice feelings about the dead soldiers. People should be angry and upset, and they should be demanding that this horrific war end immediately.
Those soldiers did not die for any noble reason. They died for money, for power, and for Israel. They wasted their lives, and they died for stupid, unworthy reasons. Don't let anyone claim otherwise.
