BBC bias around the Gaza genocide is on full display again. Not content with failing to explain how many of the lies told by Israel after 7 October have been debunked; with failing to contextualise the Palestinian national-liberation struggle against Israeli occupation and ethnic cleansing; with consistently repeating zionist/imperialist tropes about 'terrorism' and 'antisemitism', etc etc ...

Now, a documentary film following medical staff in Gaza as they work in horrendous conditions and are targeted by zionist bombs has been 'delayed' ... for an indefinite period of time.

The reason? An investigation into a previous (but entirely unconnected) film about Gaza is 'ongoing'. The investigation was called because of the alleged 'links to Hamas' of a featured 14-year-old boy who helped narrate the story of 'How To Survive A Warzone'.

Essentially, it was pulled from the iPlayer and a huge furore kicked up by the zionist lobby because it gave just a small glimpse into the truth about the suffering of Palestinians and allowed those people to appear as human beings (as opposed to 'nameless, faceless numbers or "human animals" (Netanyahu).

According to the producers at Basement Films, the film began shooting more than a year ago:

“We gathered searing testimony from multiple Palestinian doctors and health workers who had survived attacks on hospitals and their homes that killed both colleagues and loved ones.

“We also spoke to multiple medics who had been detained and testified they had been tortured, and we made solemn undertakings that their stories would be told, and done so as soon as possible.

“The film has been made by an experienced and multi-award-winning team both from Basement Films, and the BBC. It has been fact-checked, complied and signed off multiple times within the BBC, as well as experts we consulted with. We are desperate for a confirmed release date in order to be able to tell the surviving doctors and medics when their stories will be told.”

Is the BBC board hoping to kick this into the long grass so that by the time it's eventually shown it can all be safely written off as regrettable but ancient history?

Clement Attlee’s post-war Labour government (1945-51) is routinely celebrated by the British left for its reforms. The creation of the welfare state, its expansion of social housing, and the founding of the National Health Service. These reforms are held up as the pinnacle of socialist achievement in Britain. Yet conspicuously absent from this praise is any serious condemnation of Labour’s role in laying the groundwork for post-war imperialism—chief among them, its central role in founding the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) in 1949.

While Attlee’s domestic reforms provided limited concessions to a war weary British working class, his government simultaneously tied Britain to a permanent military alliance with the United States, processed as being designed for defence, but in reality it was created for the preservation and projection of the European (including USA) capitalist powers. NATO was never a peacekeeping force; it was, from the outset, an instrument of Cold War aggression—backing coups, invasions, and occupations across the globe in defence of capitalist interests. The cost has been borne by the global working class, with millions dead in Korea, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya and elsewhere, all under NATO’s watch.

Labour's imperialist legacy did not end with Attlee. Every Labour government since—Wilson, Callaghan, Blair, Brown—has remained firmly committed to NATO. Not one has ever seriously questioned Britain’s membership, let alone proposed withdrawal. Even the so-called "left" leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, despite apparently being anti-war, pledged support for NATO in the 2017 and 2019 manifestos.

The reality is inescapable: every Labour government, regardless of rhetoric, has been a willing collaborator in NATO’s global dominance. The party’s allegiance lies not with international working-class, but is an active machinism of British capitalism.

What is to happen to these people? Drive them back to the conditions they came from? There, in the West Indies, one in three, or one in four of the working population can find no means of livelihood, no employment, because of the conditions created by colonialism. You cannot have it both ways. You cannot say that you are going to maintain these countries as colonial countries, rob them of their resources, deny them the fundamental freedom to build and develop their own country, and reduce them to uttermost poverty and then, simultaneously, when in desperation they come here to find some means of livelihood say ‘Back you go to the conditions we have created for you’. That is not an attitude worthy of Socialists or the Labour movement.

As myself and Kit Klarenberg have talked about on the 'Decline & Fall' the Israeli regime is actually in a lot worse state than anyone in power is prepared to admit. The US intelligence agencies do know the truth and that is why they are looking for ways to stabilise the regime without looking like they've lost the war. One potential solution could be to declare a PLA run puppet state in the West Bank and Gaza that would be controlled by the Saudis and the Gulf tyrannies. Then you'd get "normalisation" with Israel from Riyadh. Trump gets a diplomatic victory and (they think) that the Israeli regime will get some breathing space. What they don't realise is that even if they try to impose a two state solution that is utterly controlled by the US that will still be too much for the fascist elements in Israel who may move into open revolt.
