tic issue, which has taken root at the BBC, with regards to its anti-Israel bias,” she said….
Fresh questions over the documentary come ahead of a planned protest outside the BBC by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism on Tuesday night. The group has said the film is a breach of the BBC’s editorial guidelines and “a betrayal of licence fee payers” and will protest outside Broadcasting House, in central London, from 7pm.
A spokesman for the campaign said: “The BBC has no shame, and Britain has had enough. For over 16 months, we have watched our national broadcaster provide ever more sympathetic coverage to a proscribed terrorist organisation, hiding behind claims of impartiality.
“There is nothing impartial about giving credibility to the claims of terrorists. Providing a platform for terrorists’ propaganda, downplaying their crimes and continuing to refuse to call them terrorists is the BBC putting its thumb on the scale.
“Enough is enough. It is time for the BBC to stop whitewashing terrorism. There must be an independent investigation into its bias in relation to its Middle East coverage.”
