    I could only watch 25 minutes (so far) of the doctors in Gaza documentary the BBC refused to show, because I cried at least three times. The multiple children being carried to try to get help with serious looking injuries. The solar panels being destroyed which meant premature children died. The blood soaked floor around the ambulance. The absolute pain of the doctor talking about when a nurse brought in his daughter who was killed. The people watching the bombing of Gaza through those fucking telescope things you get at the beach or from tall buildings like it’s a tourist attraction. The guys being stripped naked, blindfolded and led about in a stadium.

    An artist said a few words at a concert that is crazily expensive to go to, which doesn’t even meet the threshold of hate speech (in my view).

    Where should we focus our attention and outrage I wonder?!?

    The saga just gets worse and worse. The worst thing the BBC is doing here is apologising. They need a backbone and just say “we broadcasted an event. Not our problem”

      Their problem is that this event broadcast things which totally contradict the narrative they’re trying to build about what’s happening in the world.

    we heard in the House the absolute shocking stories of the impact this has had on the Jewish community

    Very curious what these stories were. Anyone have any links to how Bob Vylan’s set impacted the Jewish community?
