[IsraelTimes] Production team had accused Israel of war crimes; broadcaster keeps Irish band Kneecap in Glastonbury Festival despite group voicing support for Hezbollah, Hamas
The BBC said Friday it had decided not to air a documentary about doctors working in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... during the ongoing Israel-Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... war, citing concerns over impartiality following public remarks by the production team accusing Israel of war crimes.
The documentary, ’Gaza: Doctors Under Attack,’ was commissioned by the BBC and produced by the independent company Basement Films. It was initially slated for broadcast in February but has not been aired on any BBC platform.
The British public broadcaster said in a statement it was "determined to report all aspects of the conflict in the Middle East impartially and fairly,"
...somebody has a peculiar sense of humour….
and confirmed it had chosen to transfer ownership of the film material back to the production company.
The BBC’s decision to withdraw the documentary was finalized on Thursday, shortly after the remarks were made public.
In a statement, Basement Films said it was "relieved that the BBC will finally allow this film to be released." The company is now expected to distribute the film independently.
Plenty of Jew-haters will be thrilled to pay for the privilege of seeing it.
In its statement, the BBC said it had commissioned the documentary over a year ago but paused the film in April, "having made a decision that we could not broadcast the film while a review into a separate Gaza documentary was ongoing."
In February, the news service was forced to apologize after it emerged that a new documentary titled "Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone" had been narrated by the son of Hamas’s former deputy minister of agriculture.
BBC chair Samir Shah said at the time that the documentary was a "dagger to the heart" of the broadcaster’s impartiality, and vowed that "appropriate action" would be taken.
The BBC said in its Friday statement that broadcasting this latest film "risked creating a perception of partiality that would not meet the high standards that the public rightly expect of the BBC,"
…a very peculiar sense of humour…
adding, "Any film broadcast will not be a BBC film."
Prior to the announcement of the decision, Basement Films founder Ben de Pear said on Thursday while speaking at the Sheffield Documentary Festival that the BBC had "utterly failed" and claimed journalists were being "stymied and silenced."
He further claimed staff at the BBC "are being forced to use language they don’t recognize, they are not describing something as it clearly is [for fear of impartiality] and it’s tragic," in relation to coverage of Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.
No doubt.
Another of the film’s directors, journalist Ramita Navai, also made comments during an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Today program on Thursday, in which she accused Israel of being "a rogue state that’s committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing and mass murdering Paleostinians."
Israel has strongly denied No, no! Certainly not! allegations of war crimes or genocide during its ongoing military campaign in Gaza, which began after the October 7 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel that left some 1,200 people dead, mostly civilians, and saw over 250 people taken hostage.
BBC TO AIR KNEECAP ON DELAY
Separately on Friday, the broadcaster faced questions over its decision to include Irish rap group Kneecap in its Glastonbury coverage, after one of the group’s members was charged with a terrorism-related offense and the band was accused of promoting pro-Hezbollah and pro-Hamas messages, according to UK media reports.
Liam O’Hanna, 27, known by his stage name Mo Chara, appeared in court on Wednesday after being charged in May for displaying a Hezbollah flag during a London concert last November. He was ultimately released on bail.
Other videos circulating online appear to show a band member shouting, "Up Hamas, up Hezbollah."
The Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah terror group and the Paleostinian terror group Hamas are banned in the UK, and it is an offense to show support for them.
While the BBC won’t broadcast Kneecap’s performance live on one of its main TV channels, due to concerns that the group could violate the BBC’s editorial guidelines during a live set, the hour-long performance is expected to be made available on demand via BBC iPlayer after the event, allowing time for potential edits.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism urged the BBC to "carefully consider" its decision. "Despite our calls to remove the group from the line-up, the festival appears to be prioritizing profit over the safety of Jews," they said.
"Music fans are also understandably worried that our national broadcaster may find itself amplifying inflammatory messages."
The BBC has faced heavy scrutiny over the past 18 months for what many perceive to be an anti-Israel slant to its coverage of the war in Gaza, including its continued employment of a Gazook journalist who posted virulently antisemitic content on social media, and the recent resignation of high-profile presenter Gary Lineker after he shared an antisemitic Instagram story.
The broadcaster has been widely criticized by supporters of Israel for its refusal to describe Hamas as terrorists, even though the group’s military wing is proscribed by the United Kingdom as such, and even after the widespread documentation of its systematic targeting of civilians on October 7, 2023.
[IsraelTimes] British media reports government will make announcement on Monday after group broke into RAF Brize Norton base; Starmer condemns ‘disgraceful’ attack
The United Kingdom is set to move to proscribe Paleostine Action after activists from the anti-Israel group broke into a Royal Air Force base in central England, where they damaged and sprayed red paint over two military aircraft used for refueling and transportation, British media reported Friday.
According to the BBC and Sky News, the expected move by UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper means that the organization will effectively be declared a terror organization. Cooper is expected to make the announcement on Monday, before legislation is advanced on the matter.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned Friday’s attack on the base as "disgraceful."
"The act of vandalism committed at RAF Brize Norton is disgraceful," Starmer said on X after campaign group Paleostine Action posted a video claiming to show its activists breaking into the Royal Air Force base in Oxfordshire.
In the video posted on X, the activists appear to spray a plane with red paint while roaming the base on scooters. The group said it had also sprayed paint on the runway and left a Paleostinian flag there.
Paleostine Action said two of its activists had entered the base in , spraying paint into the engines of the Voyager aircraft and causing further damage with crowbars.

"Britannia isn’t just complicit, it’s an active participant in the Gaza genocide and war crimes across the Middle East."
The activists left the base without being detained, Paleostine Action said.
Britannia’s defense ministry condemned the "vandalism" and said it was working with police to investigate.
"Our Armed Forces represent the very best of Britannia. They put their lives on the line for us, and their display of duty, dedication and selfless personal sacrifice are an inspiration to us all," it said. "It is our responsibility to support those who defend us."
The government said a "full security review" was underway at the air base.
"We’re reviewing security across the whole defense estate," a government spokesperson said, adding that the incident did not impact any aircraft movement plans or operations.
Police said they were investigating a report of people gaining access to the air base and causing criminal damage.
RAF Brize Norton serves as a hub for air-to-air refueling forces and supports overseas operations, including flights to the RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, Britannia’s largest air force base in the Middle East.

Iran has threatened to attack US, French and British bases in the region if those countries help Israel fend off Iranian strikes.
According to British media, one of the planes vandalized was an Airbus Voyager air-to-air refueling tanker.

When we speak about Muslim Brotherhood influence in Europe, attention goes to France, Germany, or the UK. But quietly and more deeply, it’s Sweden where the ideological roots run deeper than most realize. Here’s why…

Since the early 1990s, Sweden became a strategic node for the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe. Its openness, public funding system, and political correctness allowed Islamist networks to grow unchecked. They entered not with violence, but bureaucracy.

Critics of Muslim Brotherhood-linked influence, including secular Muslims and academics, were often discredited as Islamophobic. The political left in Sweden frequently partnered with these groups, giving them legitimacy and shielding them from scrutiny.

The result was a fragmented civil society. Instead of one inclusive Muslim community, parallel ecosystems developed, one loyal to Swedish liberal values, the other shaped by Muslim Brotherhood ideology. Youth were often pressured into identity-based isolation.

The Muslim Brotherhood does not need to control Sweden. It only needs to shape key institutions, claim moral authority, and silence dissent. And in Sweden, for years, it did, with official funding, media cover, and political protection.
[IsraelTimes] On Saturday the IDF published intelligence documents it said were found in a Hamas tunnel underneath the European hospital in southern Gaza — where the terror group’s leader Muhammad Sinwar was killed in a strike last month — revealing how IRGC official Saeed Izadi was working to arm and fund Hamas during the war, on behalf of the Iranian regime.
“Our forces discovered documents clearly indicating that in recent months, the leadership of Hamas’s military wing continued its ties with Saeed Izadi, its Iranian patron who was eliminated overnight,” the IDF said.
Izadi was the IRGC Quds Force’s Palestine Corps chief and was killed in an Israeli strike in western Iran overnight.
“The documents now being released show correspondence between Muhammad Sinwar and Saeed Izadi, detailing the ‘Tufan (Deluge) 1’ plan, under which Izadi advanced the transfer of weapons to Hamas valued at approximately $21 million, and his intention to advance the ‘Tufan 2’ plan, for the transfer of weapons valued at approximately $25 million,” the military said.
The IDF said that these two plans “did not materialize as intended” due to operations of the Intelligence Directorate, Southern Command, and Shin Bet.
“For years, Izadi transferred weapons to support Hamas’s terror activities against the State of Israel and continued to do so in recent months. The documents now being revealed join many others uncovered during the war, attesting to Izadi’s role in funding and arming the Hamas terror organization,” the military added.
