Fully concede that the documentary either shouldn't have been made or should have made it clear who the kid was ... ... but banging on about him being a 'trained actor!' ... he's 13 ffs!!! ... not sure what your year 9 school plays were like? ... but mine certainly didn't have a kid delivering the equivalent of Larry Olivier's Saint Crispin's day speech in Henry V
'Trained actor' as in: very capable of parroting lines fed to him by an external party while making them appear to be naturally self-intuited. Then we get to the uncomfortable issue of the BBC deliberately mistranslating the Arabic to whitewash open anti-Semitism spouted throughout the 'documentary':
It is a Jihad against the Jews because the Jews are oppressing them, that woman and many others. Pure facts, wether one agrees with them or not doesn’t change them What does Jihad mean? means ‘to struggle’ CK needs to give himself some extra points for that propaganda effort he could get a job at the BBC tbh
It’s getting silly how many times this is popping up about the BBC now. They’ve got a left wing agenda, some of us have been pointing this out for years but folk have replied with them being neutral It’s full on propaganda to support liberal and left wing views. The government need to intervene and shut the daft ****ers up.
This is the thing with translations, they are never entirely representative when translated into English and the word Jihad has been interpreted to mean ‘Terrorist’ when it means to struggle or strive. That English version ‘resisting Israeli forces’ is entirely congruent with the Arabic ‘Jihad against the Jews’. It’s almost like you can’t even mention the word Jew without being labelled as anti semetic. When its actually just describing the experience of Gazans Also as mentioned, I’d like to understand what exactly is untrue about that documentary
Back to this again Next you’ll be telling us the sweethearts have been dishing out aid to the poor, building them bomb shelters, holding free elections and drawing up plans for a water park.
All of what I said is true though. Hamas has an armed wing, but a lot of what they do is basically the same as Northumberland council lol, just running day to day services The bloke whose son it is, that all of the snowflakes are crying about, is a deputy agricultural minister. He’s probably responsible for organising licences for the Olive Harvest or something lol
Now we are comparing Hamas to ****ing Northumberland council? Really You’re on a bigger wind up than me mate. I’m outta here cos I ain’t taking a nibble
It's unfortunate that the identity of the kid (more his father) is deflecting from what is quite likely an accurate depiction of life in Gaza - doubt there is any CGI involved...
His Dad works for the agricultural dept, but it's been portrayed that he's a Hamas leader and therefore the Documentary is flawed. I'm still waiting to hear from anybody who can tell me what is untrue about what the documentary portrays As I mentioned, maybe seeing the horror of what's happening in Gaza through the eyes of a child is too much for some people's conscience.
This would require people to be arsed enough to watch it. Not one person is going to change their opinion seeing it through the eyes of some Hamas spreadsheet nonce’s child via professional production and the Beeb editing any translation which might make look people who go out on the streets to cheer a parade of Jewish corpses look bad.
If the Israeli government were half as hungry for PR they’d have released more October 7th footage but that wouldn’t have dissuaded Linda shouting outside Co-op either because Palestine is just an outlet for people. It’s not about doing anything to materially help Palestinians.
What can people materially do to help Palestinians though ? I don't think the Israeli govt really need a PR boost, they've got the US and pretty much every western Govt still backing their 'right to defend' themselves mantra, supplying them with money, arms and giving war criminals diplomatic immunity.
