The Guardian has become embroiled in a row over a review that claimed an Oct 7 documentary “demonises Gazans”.

Stuart Jeffries, a feature writer, wrote the review of a factual production covering the events and aftermath of the Hamas massacre, titled One Day in October.

The review was largely positive but took issue with Gazans “demonised” as “Hamas killers”.

It also raised concerns with Hamas themselves being “othered” by the film in the same way as the “nameless hordes” of warriors in the 1964 film Zulu.

Hamas are “generalised” while the Israelis were shown to be “relatable”, the review complained.
