Newcastle, Tyne and Wear. On 17th August the BBC programme ‘Panorama' aired 'Death on the Med' a documentary about the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in May 2010. Since shooting nine peace activists dead on the Freedom Flotilla, the Israeli state has led a concerted attempt to rewrite history - making their commandos the victims of an assault by "terrorists". BBC news coverage of the attack and Panarama's recent programme clearly show that the BBC is following suit and aligning itself with the Zionist state of Israel.
