This is the news that Gary Lineker, Juliet Stevenson, Miriam Margolyes and others, a real Who’s Who of tossers, have written to the BBC telling it to reinstate its controversial documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone. The hour-long doc tells the stories of children and teenagers in Gaza. It was broadcast on BBC Two last week. But it swiftly got mired in scandal after it was revealed that the 14-year-old narrator is the son of a minister in the Hamas government. Yes, our public broadcaster put out a film about Gaza featuring the kid of an official linked to the Islamo-fascists that carried out the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. Reith will be turning in his grave.
In their letter to BBC bosses, the doc’s defenders describe it as an ‘essential piece of journalism’. The criticism of the film is based on ‘racist’ assumptions about Palestinians, they say. The brass neck of these moral preeners is astounding. Imagine the ethical contortionism it must require, the outright doublethink, to damn as ‘racist’ those who are concerned that the BBC gave a platform to people with links to one of the most murderously racist movements on Earth. They sent their letter yesterday, as the Bibas family was being buried. Any comment on that? On the neo-fascist scum who dragged a mum and her two kids from their home for the ‘crime’ of being Jews? No? Fine, but kindly fuck off with the lectures about racism.
– Brendan O’Neill is in very fine form.
From the land of the man who has now died bloodily and repeatedly in many many Palestinian videos, from the land of the entire fake-dead-kids genre of film, from the land of one wailing woman actor who seems to have had her dead children buried under rubble at least five times, I would be surprised to see ANY honest storytelling.
And there really is no reason to be making racist assumptions about the Palestinian people. Culturist assumptions that have been proven true over and over are sufficient for purpose.
I think the deplorable signatories have just used racism because they really can’t think of anything else. And it is, afterall the trump card, especially when played from the bottom of the deck.
Has anyone thought to report the 500 for anti-semitism to the police? I would think their letter would count as a non-crime hate incident
Gary Lineker is vile. I’d have to restrain myself physically if I ever had the misfortune to meet him.
He can’t leave the BBC soon enough and should have been sacked long ago.
Here’s an article in the Spectator explaining the moral rot of the BBC.

The organisation needs to be nuked from high orbit.
I thought of it right away, but I am not a Ubject of his majesty.

Gary Lineker is a profound wanker…
A while back I created this.
Not content with spouting shite about football for nearly 500,000 quid a year. And I do mean bollocks of the sort that would be considered sub-par for any pub gob-shite in the UK he has now re-invented himself as some sort of generalised gnomic Philosopher-King. Hence “Gary The Gnome”.
So. I entirely agree with JP on both points. A visceral desire to twat the lawn-ornament and the Ripley Option for the BBC.
The good thing to come out of all this is that it brings defunding the BBCTQ+ a little bit closer.
Islam is not a race – Mohammed was a pale man (all the sources agree on that – that was how he was picked out in a crowd, as he did not dress distinctively) and a blond haired, blue eyed, person can be a follower of Islam. Indeed Mohammed himself made rather unpleasant remarks about black people – so, by modern standards, he was a “racist”.
As for the support of Gary Lineker and co for the killing of the Jews – well I am not astonished, it is what I would expect from Mr Lineker and his associates.
One could try to explain to them that Islam does not just hate Jews – but, rather, hates all infidels, but they would just scream “Islamophobe” and demand that the person trying to warn them, be dragged off to prison.
Islam does claim to be the “natural religion” of all humanity since Adam so it has nothing to do with race. Making it so is pig-ignorant and er… racist. But the Lineker is no thinker…
There is a well-regarded Hadith (sayings of Muhammed):
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. “O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.”
So, whilst Islam is down on all non-Muslims the Jews deserve special attention…
