UK journalist who blew whistle on BBC Gaza documentary: 'I caught them in bed with Hamas'
It took investigative journalist David Collier exactly five hours to find out that Abdullah, the narrator and main subject of the BBC documentary “Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone,” was the son of a high-ranking Hamas official.
Collier’s discovery has led to the film’s removal from streaming and ignited a very public crisis at the media outlet, long regarded as the gold standard for international journalism.
Now, longstanding accusations of the BBC’s anti-Israel bias have once again come to the fore in light of Collier’s work.
“I’m just one guy with a computer in north London,” says Collier in an interview with The Times of Israel, pointing out that despite its vast, taxpayer-funded resources, the broadcasting giant didn’t manage to do its due diligence.
