A BBC-backed film paints British troops as little better than Nazis

A new film about the British role in Palestine during the 1930s, partly funded by the BBC, has sparked controversy for its harsh portrayal of British soldiers and officials. The film depicts British troops as brutal oppressors, drawing comparisons to Nazis, and focuses on atrocities committed during the suppression of the Arab revolt. Critics argue that the film presents a one-sided view, omitting important historical context such as earlier violence against Jews and the involvement of foreign powers in the region's turmoil. While the film has been praised for shedding light on a little-known period, concerns have been raised about its impartiality and the BBC's support for a project seen as deeply critical of Britain.
