The BBC recently aired a documentary that is supposedly a child's-eye
view of events in Gaza. It failed to explain that the child whose
viewpoint was explored was a family member of a senior Hamas official.
However, the truth soon came out and now the BBC is in trouble. Given
that they spend money on the documentary (money obtained from the BBC
license fee) and growing suspicions that the filmmakers were somehow
linked to Hamas or contributing to Hamas, there is the distinct
possibility that there will be criminal charges since giving money to a
known terrorist group, like Hamas, is against the law.

[39 minutes]

This is far from the first time that the BBC has raised controversy over
programming that is believed by many to be slanted against Israel but
this may be the most serious instance of this tendency. Here's hoping
the inquiry results in a major housecleaning in the BBC so that it can
once again be widely perceived as fair and impartial in its coverage of
Israel.

Who exactly is considered not to support Hamas in Gaza?

Isn't this just denouncing the entire populace of Gaza as terrorists.

You'd have to twist a lot to credit BBC as anti-Israel,
Jews accuse everyone and everything as being anti-semitic,
so Jewish accusations of anti-semitism are not proof of
fact.
