This is absolutely devastating. More than a hundred BBC employees have written a letter to the Director General, Tim Davy, complaining that the corporation has become a mouthpiece for Israel.

It was also signed by 300 other journalists and media professionals. One of them was yours truly.

The BBC employees, as you would expect, all anonymous, because otherwise they would face grave consequences in terms of their careers. Now, the letter

says we're writing to express our concerns over opaque editorial decisions and censorship at

the BBC on the reporting of Israel-Palestine. We believe the refusal to broadcast the documentary,

Gaza, Medics Under Fire, is just one in a long line of agenda-driven decisions. It demonstrates,

once again, that the BBC is not reporting about fear or favour when it comes to Israel. Now,

it goes on to know that the decision not to broadcast that investigation was taken by BBC management, despite the content being signed off in accordance with BBC guidelines and editorial policy, which it says appears to be a political decision, adding that the BBC response shows the organisation is crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government.

I mean, the decision not to broadcast this is a scandal. organization is crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government.

I mean, the decision not to broadcast this is a scandal.

The BBC only broadcast one of the documentary, which actually looked properly at the war crimes being committed every single day against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

And then they pulled that documentary because the child narrator was the son of a deputy agricultural minister who's a technocrat,

which had no bearing on anything he said because it was a child narrator whose words were

scripted for him, rather than to say his father. And that was, they capitulated the BBC to the demands of the pro-Israel lobby.

Here's another documentary which passes all their checks, which is past the Channel 4,

the Channel 4 taking it on.

They've gone through their rigorous process.

And the BBC refused to show a programme which documents the objective systematic attacks on the healthcare system, the destruction of the healthcare system in Gaza.

For what reason? What reason? The letter emphasises that the signatories are not asking the BBC to pick aside, but just to allow BBC journalists to do their jobs in delivering facts transparently with due context. They note one striking

failure. As an organisation, we have not offered any significant analysis of the UK government's

involvement in the war in Palestinians. We've failed to report on weapon sales or their legal

implications. These stories have instead been broken by the BBC's competitors.
