"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.

Hamas is literally an internationally recognized terrorist organization, proscribed by many countries including the UK and the Arab League.

CBC also refuses to call Hamas terrorists despite their government labeling them as such.

    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 Hamas 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 Hamas massacre at the festival on October 7. It was commissioned by BBC Storyville.

    Mozer told The Hollywood Reporter that this was a concession he had to make if he wanted the film to be seen by the British public.

    There’s the actual reason if anyone is interested.

    Personally, if the documentary focuses on what Hamas did on that one day without addressing the actual reasons and events that led up to it as well as everything that happened afterwards than I would say it’s pretty biased. And I don’t mean biased in a pro-Hamas way.

      Then it would need to include Palestinians starting war against Israel then losing a disproportionate number of citizens then always repeating the failed attacks expecting a different result? There is a word for that.

      Most of the Jewish population of Israel are those fleeing persecution from Muslim nations (not from Europe as is commonly believed).

      “By 2019, the total number of Jews in Arab countries and Iran had declined to 12,700, and in Turkey to 14,800”

      The only persecution of Gazans in the few years leading up to Oct 7 was the border checks since they have imported munitions in the past which they attacked Israel with.

      How far back in history do you want to go in a 90 minute documentary about the Nova massacre? It doesn’t actually matter now regardless of what each side says: Jews ain’t going anywhere and neither are the Arabs. A two-state solution is the only option.
