This is not just an "independent journalist". Mr collier dedicates his life to investigative reporting, and to exposing antisemitism, wherever it may be. Which is in no way to denigrate the job he does. I believe I actually used to know Mr Collier before his career change-both my career and my upbringing has caused me to come into contact with a lot of Jewish people. I liked the man-pretty sure, I still would.
People need to stop with the Black & White portrayal of Palestine and Israel. There are lots of good people on both sides. As well as people I regard as Terrorists-on both sides.
The father of the man in the documentary is an elected Agriculture Minister in the elected Hamas Govt. There has been no reports of any terrorist activities. The Uncle campaigns for the release of Palestinians currently imprisoned by the Israeli authorities-in a role that is not entirely dissimilar to Mr Collier himself.
Should the BBC have made any possible involvement clear here? Of course it should.
But has there actually been any suggestion that anything in the documentary about the suffering of Gazans was untrue? No. And that was the point of the documentary.
The BBC, like all Western Media, provides detail and context to all released Israeli prisoners. To give back stories. To humanise them. As they should. But does not afford the same coverage to any Palestinians released.
Of course, it could be that every single Israeli released has had no part in the conflict. Including all the ones that were in the Armed Forces at the time.
And it could be that every single released Palestinian is, or has been, a terrorist. And none have a back story worth reporting. Which rather begs the question why a country as brilliantly run (from a military perspective) as Israel has let hundreds (if not thousands) go?
While I am on the subject, 1 thing that intrigues me.
1. We say that Ukraine was perfectly entitled to delay elections due to the invasion. And that he remains a Democratically elected leader 2. We also say that the democratic Mandate for Hamas has expired. That there should have been elections. Disregarding the invasion

An East African paper. In 2004. Trying to make a story of interest to its readers by shoe-horning a claim that he was Kenyan-born. As opposed to had some Kenyan roots.
Couldn't even spell his name right.
Seriously-how desperate are some people? The USA is in the grip of the Far Right. Attacking the poor. Marginalising Minorities. To boost the already bulging wallets of the Billionaire Musk club.
The Democrat Party is temporarily rudderless. It contains people who are either semi-retired/retired, or not yet ready to lead.
And the Rabid Right continue to fight pathetic historic battles. Pretending (for example) that a Billionaire trying to give all his money away is still interested in money. While the World's richest man feeds off the poor and the marginalised.

Anyone else find that a bit two-faced?

Not just poor losers. Poor winners.
