What a bunch of craven, spinless lickspittles.
Never mind if the documentary told the truth, never mind that the boy was just the narrator, never mind that his dad was a minor Hamas official in the agricultural ministry...never even mind that Israel has destroyed all the agriculture in Gaza.
Is his dad even still alive, is the boy narrator still alive? Or have they been murdered by the IDF since then?
I see Nandy, as always, has been out and about, gloating on this.
If only these shitbags would get what coming to them!

BBC breached editorial guidelines over Gaza documentary narrated by son of Hamas official

Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone featured narration from a boy whose father has worked as Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture.

The BBC has said it breached its editorial guidelines by failing to disclose that the child narrator of a Gaza documentary was the son of a Hamas official.

A report into the controversial programme said three members of the independent production company knew about the role of the boy's father - but no one within the BBC was aware.

The review called the failure to bring the information to the BBC's attention a "significant oversight by the production company".

The independent report - commissioned by the corporation - criticised the BBC team involved in the documentary for not being "sufficiently proactive" with initial editorial checks, and for a "lack of critical oversight of unanswered or partially answered questions" ahead of broadcast.

It described the background on the narrator's father as "critical information", which was not shared with the BBC before broadcast.

While the report said there was no evidence "to support the suggestion that the narrator's father or family influenced the content of the programme in any way", it concluded the use of a child narrator for the programme was "not appropriate"...
