Yariv Mozer, the director of We Will Dance Again, a documentary film about the #Nova festival, said that he had to agree with the #BBC to not describe H@mas as a terrorist organization if he wanted it to air, according to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. The film, which is set to broadcast on the BBC on Thursday, contains unseen footage of the H@mas massacre at the festival on October 7. It was commissioned by BBC Storyville. “It was a price I was willing to pay so that the British public will be able to see these atrocities and decide if this is a terrorist organization or not,” Mozer said. This comes amid claims of anti-Israel bias in the BBC since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, including a scandal caused last week by British Lawyer Trevor Asserson’s report that the BBC breached its own editorial guidelines for news coverage more than 1,500 times since the beginning of the war. Additionally, the BBC refuses to call H@mas a terrorist organization. The BBC calls H@mas a proscribed terrorist organisation, but has been reluctant to go further for fear it could be seen to be taking sides in the conflict. In a statement after meeting the Board of Deputies of British Jews in October the BBC said it “does not … use the word terrorist without attributing it, nor do we ban words”.
