A BBC documentary on Gaza has come under formal investigation by Britain’s media regulator, not for inaccuracies, but for allowing a Palestinian child, whose father has a technocratic position in the Hamas government, to narrate the story. Critics say this scrutiny reveals a double standard because years of pro-Israeli bias at the BBC were never investigated.
