The only consistent thing about Doctor Who is people complaining about Doctor Who.

(He says as a veteran of the frock/guns wars of rec.arts.dr.who...)

Its more a direct commentary on how Eurovision treats Isreal and Palestine - and how thats wrong.

Free Palestine btw

The conflict is only resolved when a Hellion takes the stage and allowed to talk about their peoples suffering.

Did the message get muddled? Maybe - but I dont read this episode as Anti Palestine.

I dont feel the episode is anti palestine - I believe its anti war and also Anti complacency.

"Did they ever think about us"

The villain is a terrorist and is tortured by the Doctor. However, the Doctors response is never framed as right. Its a story about a perpetuatung cycle of violance - after the Doctor threatens Kid everyone becomes afraid of him and both Susan and Belinda call out his actions as wrong

They are a peaceful people - and then are destroyed for no reason.

Palestine deserves to be free and the episode clearly is a look at that. The Hellions are clear allegories for Palestine.
