Alison Weir, the Director of If Americans Knew reports at Unz Reveiw that PBS stations around the country have pulled a Frontline documentary on the violence in Gaza.
PBS stations around the U.S. were scheduled to show a riveting new Frontline documentary, “One Day in Gaza,” but at the last minute PBS pulled it.
The film is missing important context about the issue, but it includes footage that Americans, as Israel’s top funders, should see – including a young, unarmed teen being shot in her head.
BBC, the coproducer of the film, broadcast it to British viewers. We are posting it below so that Americans can also view it.
Allison’s article provides more context (she states the film does have flaws) to the film which includes the background of Israelis they interview. One Israeli she describes is an American that migrated to Israel in 1975 and lives in Nirim kibbutz on the border with Gaza. Allison writes:
“Despite being located in a desert, it has green grass and a swimming pool. A little over a mile away, Gazans are enduring a water crisis that has caused Gazan children to suffer from diarrhea, kidney disease, and impaired IQ.”
But the film cannot do everything, and it does some things extremely well. Overall, it’s not difficult to see why Israel partisans would not wish it broadcast to Americans.
It shows footage that the American public almost never sees. It was this kind of footage that eventually led to Americans ending the Vietnam war.
One of the main take-aways from the film is the extreme ruthlessness of Israeli forces.
