Gagging Order

India's Muslim-baiting government bids fair to surpass even Team Starmer in sycophancy towards Israel, as the Central Board of Film Certification has blocked the release of a film about the cleansing of Gaza. The Voice of Hind Rajab features vérité audio from a phone call by a five-year-old child whose death somehow or other occurred during the bombing (the terms killed and IDF are both studiously absent from the report in Britain's leading liberal newspaper). Apparently the Indian government is worried that exhibiting the film would harm its relations with the Righteous State, but it seems doubtful that any war criminal has much to fear from The Voice of Hind Rajab. If vérité audio of a child's death is what is needed to induce qualms, it was probably too late in any case.
