Video: 9 clips from the documentary Israel doesn’t want you to see – and the BBC deleted

Here’s a little that might show why Israel wanted ‘Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone’ off the air…

As Skwawkbox reported earlier, the BBC has deleted its documentary on the suffering of Palestinians – especially children, in Gaza during Israel’s genocide of more than 200,000 civilians, mostly women and children – after a mass pressure assault by Israel’s embassy and its lobby groups in the UK.

The broadcast of the programme sparked a mass campaign of complaints from the Israeli embassy and UK pressure groups, seemingly horrified that the UK’s national broadcaster was humanising Palestinians and showing what Israel has been doing to them for almost a year and a half. The BBC caved and removed the programme indefinitely this morning.

At the beginning of this year, the BBC deactivated the option for iPlayer viewers to download programmes to desktop. However, nine clips have been posted online by activist Saul Staniforth and are posted below to have them all in one place and to give a likely flavour of why Israel and its lobbyists wanted it removed. Clips are shown under fair use and against censorship:
