Channel 4’s recent decision to air a controversial film, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, raises serious ethical concerns. A CAMERA Arabic investigation revealed that the co-producer of the film publicly celebrated the October 7 massacre of Israelis and several months earlier glorified the terrorist who murdered seven Israeli civilians on Holocaust Memorial Day – none of which was disclosed to viewers by the broadcaster or the co-producer himself.
The film, which presents itself as a “forensic examination” of IDF conduct, has faced sharp criticism for omitting and downplaying verified evidence of Hamas’s use of medical facilities for terror operations.
“The limited references that do appear in the film are misleadingly framed as anecdotal or dismissed as ‘Israeli claims,’ despite facts that directly undermine the film’s central allegation that Israel is systematically targeting healthcare workers,” said CAMERA UK co-editor Adam Levick.
The BBC, which initially commissioned the film, shelved it due to recently revealed concerns over the social media activity of one of the journalists involved in the story.
