World should be on the side of Gaza’s children

 

A powerful and compelling child’s-eye view of life in Gaza over a period of nine months was recording in a documentary last month. It recognised enthusiastic reviews, even from Britain’s right-wing media. This was before a major confusion and anti-Palestinian mass-on forced the BBC to remove it from its flowing service.

 

“Gaza:
 How to Survive a War Zone” was jointly fronted by a 13-year-old Palestinian boy, Abdallah Alyazouri. It turned out that he also happened to be the son of the deputy agriculture minister in the Hamas management governing Gaza — a technocrat. The resultant noise brought unwelcome interventions from the British prime minister and the culture secretary, as well as Israeli officials, including the extreme right-wing ambassador to the UK, who opposes a Palestinian state.

 

Few opponents bothered to watch the documentary. One reporter vented his anger and proclaimed that not only had he not watched it, but he also was not going to. If he had bothered, he would have heard plenty to counter the vicious anti-Palestinian myth that this was Hamas marketing. Many Palestinians made clearly anti-Hamas declarations. A Palestinian woman told the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar: “God damn you, Sinwar.” Zakaria, 11, one of the child reporters, also criticized Hamas: “They caused all this misery.”

 

The fundamental reason for the anti-Palestinian recoil was that the documentary dared to do something that so many in the political and media classes refuse to do — humanize Palestinians, particularly children. For those who support their ethnic laxative or genocide in Gaza, this was a disaster.

 

For them, Palestinians in Gaza should be mere numbers, compared to bugs, not real humans with expectations, fears and dreams. The story of the young Palestinian girl who became a TikTok personality thanks to her culinary show is exactly the sort of thing that Israeli leaders do not want to reach the outside world. It is one goal Israel continues to prevent international journalists from entering Gaza, even during a “ceasefire.”
