\u2018We Will Dance Again,\u2019 renowned 90-minute documentary detailing Palestinian terror group\u2019s Oct. 7 onslaught at Israeli music festival, altered to align with contentious BBC policy.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cWe Will Dance Again,\u201d a full-length documentary film about the Hamas massacre of over 360 people at the Supernova music festival during the terror group\u2019s October 7, 2023 assault on southern Israel last year, aired on Britain\u2019s BBC2 on Thursday evening, though only after filmmakers agreed not to refer to Hamas as terrorists.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt 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,\u201d said Yariv Mozer, who directed the film, in an\u00a0interview<\/a>\u00a0with The Hollywood Reporter.<\/span><\/p>\n

The UK public broadcaster was broadly criticized in the wake of the cross-border onslaught last year for its refusal to describe Hamas as terrorists, even though the group\u2019s military wing is proscribed by the United Kingdom as such, and even after the widespread documentation of its systematic targeting of civilians that day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTerrorism is a loaded word, which people use about an outfit they disapprove of morally. It\u2019s simply not the BBC\u2019s job to tell people who to support and who to condemn \u2014 who are the good guys and who are the bad guys,\u201d BBC world editor John Simpson\u00a0said in a column\u00a0<\/a>explaining the network\u2019s\u00a0position<\/a>\u00a0a few days after Hamas attacked.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one can possibly defend the murder of civilians, especially children and even babies \u2014 nor attacks on innocent, peace-loving people who are attending a music festival,\u201d Simpson added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe Will Dance Again,\u201d which runs 91 minutes and has also been shown across the world at special screenings and film festivals in recent weeks, delves into festival-goers\u2019 experience during the all-night rave before it was attacked in the morning, and then documents the assault itself and relates the survivors\u2019 efforts to piece together their lives in the aftermath.
