“The higher the monkey climbs, the more he shows his tail,” warns a timeless Chinese proverb. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, seems to neither heed the lessons of history nor the wisdom of such folk sayings. By leading a vilification campaign against Egypt, the Israeli leader is further exposing his country’s vulnerabilities.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), an organisation funded by the public, yet controlled by the government and influential lobby groups, finds itself at the centre of a storm. This time it is not about presenting biased news, or half lies that feed the narrative of their most favoured influential lobby groups, it is about airing a documentary that simply presents a view of life through the eyes of children in Gaza.
