Gary Lineker condemns BBC for pulling Gaza documentary amid backlash over its 'Hamas links' as he accuses the broadcaster of bowing to 'censorship' and racism

Gary Lineker has condemned the BBC for bowing to 'censorship' after the broadcaster pulled Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone from its iPlayer platform following claims of links to Hamas.



Gary Lineker, a prominent BBC presenter, has criticized the broadcaster for removing the documentary "Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone" following accusations of Hamas links. The documentary, which aimed to depict life in Gaza, was pulled after an investigation revealed that one of the child narrators is the son of a Hamas minister and grandson of a founding member. The BBC is reviewing the documentary's content and has temporarily removed it from its platform. Meanwhile, supporters, including Lineker and 500 industry figures, argue the documentary is vital for showcasing children's experiences and should not be censored. Critics, however, have accused the BBC of failing its duty and promoting Hamas propaganda.
