BBC Gaza documentary cameraman appears to celebrate October 7 attacks

Uncovered tweets of Hatem Rawagh raise further questions about film accused of being propaganda for Hamas

A cameraman on the BBC’s controversial Gaza documentary appeared to celebrate the October 7 massacre, The Telegraph can reveal.

Hatem Rawagh, who was listed as an additional cameraman in the credits of the film, posted two tweets apparently praising the worst terror attack in Israel’s history.

In one of the posts on X he appeared to applaud the killing of an Israeli soldier, sharing a video of a gunman which he said should be watched “a million” times.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that the BBC did produce Hamas propaganda.

The Child Murderers of Gaza

Muslim terrorists did not murder the children as collateral damage. Killing children is the point.

“O God, do not be silent; hold not Thy peace, and be not still,” the Chief Rabbi of Israel prayed the words of Psalm 83 over the bodies of two murdered children, their mother and an old man.

Hamas and PLO terrorists had mockingly paraded their coffins to the cheers and jeers of Muslim men, women and children occupying Gaza while upbeat music played, they had mixed up the bodies, locked the boxes and then attached keys that did not work. After inspecting the coffins for explosives, Israel had covered them with its blue and white flag and prayed over them.

Why Won’t Cities Like New York Punish Anti-Semitic Rioters?

Seared into the minds of Jewish Americans are the innocent faces and bright red hair of the youngest Hamas hostages, Ariel and Kfir Bibas. The brothers, four and nine-months old, respectively, were kidnapped along with their mother, Shiri, by masked gunmen on October 7, 2023. Their father, Yarden, was also taken hostage but was released last week. Imagining Yarden’s anguish as he awaited news of his family’s fate only deepened the anxiety of millions who, like me, prayed for their safe return.


It’s a problem world wide.

Is it because the elites are afraid of the Muslims they imported?

Is the threat level so high the authorities have been ordered to treat the Mohammedans and their quisling allies with Kid gloves?

Egyptian NHS doctor who ‘glorified’ Hamas spared deportation

An Egyptian NHS doctor who mocked Israeli festival-goers for fleeing Hamas gunmen on Oct 7 has won a legal challenge against deportation.

An immigration tribunal judge backed Dr Mennah Elwan, 34, in her claim that James Cleverly, the home secretary at the time, was wrong to cancel her leave to remain in the UK after ruling that her presence was “not conducive to the public good”.

It followed what Stephen Davies, an upper tribunal judge, said were three “shocking and inexcusable” posts on X in which he agreed with Mr Cleverly that Dr Elwan had supported, justified and glorified the terrorist violence by Hamas.

Six Israeli hostages handed over by Hamas as part of ceasefire deal

Six living hostages set to be returned to Israel from Gaza have been handed over as the ceasefire holds despite being shaken by the misidentification of the body of the Israeli hostage Shiri Bibas.

The Israeli army said it had received the first two hostages, Tal Shoham, 40, and Avera Mengistu, 39, from the Red Cross after the handover in Gaza. They were then being transported to hospital in an Israeli air force helicopter accompanied by family members, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said.

The unavoidable necessity to draw conclusions about Palestinian Arab society

Avoiding generalizations about groups of people is almost always wise. In doing so, we avoid the snares that can lead to prejudicial conclusions that cause us to forget that even those who differ from us in many ways have a common humanity. When people refer to opponents of any kind by saying that “they” (whoever the “they” might be) ”are all alike” and therefore bad, we know they are usually telling us far more about themselves than anything else.

And yet, as much as we might wish it not to be so, there are occasions when groups do exhibit loathsome behavior that are a clear illustration of their beliefs and values.

BBC pulls Gaza documentary featuring child whose father was Hamas minister

A BBC documentary about Gaza has been pulled from its iPlayer service while the broadcaster deals with intensifying accusations that the film was biased because it failed to make clear the father of its child narrator was a Hamas deputy minister.

BBC sources indicated the intention was to make the documentary available to watch again once a “due diligence” exercise had taken place, but the decision reflects a frustration that the filmmakers did not inform the broadcaster of the situation before transmission.

The BBC said that while the documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, featured “important stories we think should be told, those of the experiences of children in Gaza” there had been “continuing questions raised about the programme”.

Muslims Cheer, Parade Bodies of Murdered Children in Gaza

Members of the PLO and other Islamic terrorist groups joined Hamas in a celebration of the kidnapping and killing of Israeli civilians, including the Bibas children.

The coffins of the 1-year-old and 5-year-old boys, and their mother were returned to the sound of upbeat music, jeers and cheers from the gathered Muslim population of Gaza as the coffins were paraded…

How one family became the ultimate symbol of Hamas barbarity

Crowds lined the roads in Israel this morning to pay a final tribute to Shiri Bibas and her boys, Ariel and Kfir, who were just four and nine months when captured – along with peace activist Oded Lifshitz, who was 83. A sea of Israeli and yellow flags lined pockets along the 73-mile route from the Kerem Shalom Crossing on the Gaza border to the military forensic lab in Tel Aviv, ushering the hostages along on their final journey. Crowds stood in silence, save the sombre rhythm of clapping as the convoy passed by. The journey by road, instead of helicopter, was an important opportunity for Israelis to mark this poignant moment and say their goodbyes to a mother and her children who have come to represent so much. While Yarden Bibas, who was released from Hamas captivity last week, will now be able to grieve for his wife and children, a nation will be grieving too.

Don’t Be Fooled: The Palestinian Authority Did Not Halt Payments To Terrorists

Did Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas halt payments to Palestinian terrorists and their families? Or is he just trying to fool the Americans to persuade them to resume financial aid to the PA?

On February 10, the American media outlet Axios reported:

“Abbas has issued a decree revoking the system of payments to families of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails or to families of Palestinians who were killed or wounded during attacks against Israelis.”

The payment program is known as “Pay for Slay.”

Three released hostages returned to Israel looking emaciated and pale

Alexander Sasha Troufanov, Sagui Dekel Chen, and Iair Horn appeared thin and pale at the Red Cross handover point in Khan Yunis on Saturday, but were able to stand, support their own weight, and walk independently.

These initial signs suggest their medical condition is stable and does not require emergency hospitalization at Soroka Medical Center or Barzilai Medical Center in the South.

Trump Wants the U.S. to Control Gaza. So, Who Owns It Anyway?

President Trump wants the U.S. to control the Gaza Strip, but it isn’t even clear who owns it.

Determining the ownership and control of Gaza might be among the most complicated territorial questions on Earth.

The Palestinian enclave has an almost unique status, as well as a long history of changing hands, making figuring out who ultimately owns the tiny territory a matter of unpacking overlapping land laws laid down over centuries.

WARMINGTON: Antisemitic ‘mob’ turns TDSB meeting into display of Jew ‘hatred

Many who were there Wednesday say it was more of anti-Jewish meeting than a school board meeting.

Those in attendance say the public hearing on a report before the Toronto District School Board to protect Jewish students deteriorated into more of anti-Jewish hate fest.

“The anti-Israel mob showed up in full force espousing conspiracy theories, tropes and disinformation about Israel and the Jewish community,” a disgusted Toronto City Councillor James Pasternak said.


And the Star’s version … TDSB report on antisemitism strategy sparks heated reaction at meeting
