“Has the world given up on Gaza? Has the world put its fingers in its ears now?”
LBC radio host James O’Brien questioned why Israel cutting off aid to the Gaza Strip on Sunday has gained less media attention than a BBC documentary on Gaza. The documentary sparked controversy after it was revealed that its 13-year-old narrator, Abdullah al-Yazuri, is the son of a deputy minister of agriculture in Gaza, which is administered by Hamas.
Following a campaign criticising the BBC over the boy’s inclusion, the broadcaster pulled the documentary from its services four days after airing it. Yazuri told Middle East Eye that he and his family have faced harassment ever since, with no apology from the BBC.
O'Brien added that he is “routinely” accused of antisemitism for covering the “unchallenged facts” about what is happening in Gaza. He cited a recent UN probe, which found that Israel has committed "genocidal acts" through the systematic destruction of women’s healthcare facilities in Gaza as a war strategy.
He stressed that though Israel has denied the accusations, no journalists have been allowed into Gaza to gather facts and those who do are always accused of being "biased" by Israel.
