The people who convinced BBC to take down "Gaza: How to Survive a War zone" weren't worried about the deputy Minister of Agriculture.

They didn't want us to see the children.

They were afraid we would see they are children like our own. They worried we could see them as human beings.

Seeing the world in which they live through their eyes humanizes them.

That is what they don't want us to see.

One of the things I have seen over and over in video coming out of Gaza has been systemic targeting of civilians, health care workers, paramedics, hospitals, humanitarian aid workers, and civilian infrastructure by the IDF. These are all crimes under international law.

Yet the only fault they could find with this documentary is that one of the featured children is related to the Deputy Agriculture Minister.

This is why Gaza has been called "the world's largest open air concentration camp."

When this "war" started, more than half the population was made up of children... none of whom were alive, much less able to vote in that election that Israel insisted on holding.

My understanding is that voters in Gaza chose Hamas politicians over the Palestinian Authority politicians because of systemic corruption in the PA.

has removed the video, which has been attacked because one of the children in it is the son or nephew of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in the Hamas "government," elected in 2006.

Although Israel famously "withdrew" its illegal settlements, the International Court of Justice ruled Gaza is still part of the Occupied Territory of Palestine,
the enclave has been under siege ever since. Israel controls who/what can go in or out.

Gaza: How to Survive a War zone introduces us to the latest generation of the children of .

After decades pf dehumanizing and victim-blaming, we get to see children are people.
