Yariv Mozer, the director of We Will Dance Again, a documentary film about the #Nova festival, said that he had to agree with the #BBC to not describe H@mas as a terrorist organization if he wanted it to air, according to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. The film, which is set to broadcast on the BBC on Thursday, contains unseen footage of the H@mas massacre at the festival on October 7. It was commissioned by BBC Storyville. “It was a price I was willing to pay so that the British public will be able to see these atrocities and decide if this is a terrorist organization or not,” Mozer said. This comes amid claims of anti-Israel bias in the BBC since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, including a scandal caused last week by British Lawyer Trevor Asserson’s report that the BBC breached its own editorial guidelines for news coverage more than 1,500 times since the beginning of the war. Additionally, the BBC refuses to call H@mas a terrorist organization. The BBC calls H@mas a proscribed terrorist organisation, but has been reluctant to go further for fear it could be seen to be taking sides in the conflict. In a statement after meeting the Board of Deputies of British Jews in October the BBC said it “does not  … use the word terrorist without attributing it, nor do we ban words”.

Ariel (5) and his little brother Kfir (1) are still held captive in #Gaza by terrorists, for 342 days. They were stolen from their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz together with their mother Shiri, and their dad Yarden, who was kidnaped separately. @icrc has never visited them. The world is not demanding their unconditional release. Their posters are vandalised and torn.  Be their voice.  Don’t let the world forget about these innocent souls.

*The bravery and loss of Hamid Abu Ar’ara* On October 7th, his beloved wife Fatma (34), drove him and two other Bedouin farm labourers to their work. Fatma’s and Hamid’s son Elias (8 month old) was sitting between the two farm workers.  Suddenly, 8 H@mas motorcycles shot them with heavy fire. “After the motorcycles passed us, I tried to raise Fatma from where she had fallen. And that is when I saw she had been hit 20 times”, Hamid recalls. “She said she could not feel her legs. Her head was open and I could see her brain. I knew she was close to death. Being a devout Muslim, I asked her to say the shahada prayer. She said it four times and before the fifth time she was dead”. The worker who had been sitting behind Fatma died shortly after too. ‘We’re a religious Muslim family and she wore traditional headdress of a devout woman. It is inconceivable they could not see who was inside”, he says. “My baby was hit by shrapnel on his shoulder. I realized that we had to escape and find shelter because the area was swarming with terrorists. I spotted a big electric cabinet on the side of the road so I took my baby with me and ran to hide inside it. After five hours, four H@mas terrorists appeared, and from all places they decided to hide at the back of the electric cabinet.  “Suddenly, I heard Hebrew from across the way. I looked through the opening of the electric cabinet and I saw @idfsoldiers. I heard the H@mas terrorists arguing among themselves when to strike the approaching soldiers. I grabbed my baby, opened the electric cabinet doors, and ran toward the soldiers. I alarmed the soldiers that they were walking straight into an ambush״.  Fatma was a mother of nine kids, the oldest is only 8 years old. “Our Islam is the opposite of what the terrorists have done. I don’t know how I will cope with this tragedy”.
