1) Sheyam Ghieth is an Lgbt artist of Egyptian origin and she resides in the US. She is known for her illustrations on award-winning TV series Ramy. This is the story of how the BBC cancelled her. Because on her instagram account, some of her illustrations deal with apartheid. 2) I was a senior journalist at the BBC & part of an email chain about Sheyam. A producer had pitched a story on Lgbt figures from the Arab world and put in Sheyam Ghieth as a prospective interviewee. It is an Lgbt story - not about Israel. And Sheyamβs work covers a wide range.
