BBC director expresses regret over ‘antisemitic behavior’ by several staffers
2024-02-20
[IsraelTimes] BBC’s director general has penned a message to staffers expressing regret over "antisemitic behavior by people who worked with us" as part of an apparent effort to rebuild fraught ties with Jewish staffers.
Uh huh.
"As many of you may have seen, sadly in recent weeks we have been alerted to some antisemitic behavior by people who worked with us. I want to be clear that there can be no place at the BBC for racist abuse of any kind, whether towards our Jewish colleagues or indeed colleagues from any background or belief. Any form of antisemitism, Islamophobia
...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
or racist abuse is abhorrent, and we will always act whenever it occurs.
Really?
We must play our role to build understanding and tolerance," he writes in an email obtained by the Deadline entertainment news outlet.
It would have been nice if this had been noticed any time over the past two generations...
"We will continue to talk to a range of groups across the organization as part of our shared commitment to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of background or belief," Davie adds.
Except Jews, Christians, whites, men who aren’t a member of one of the privileged groups...
Earlier this month, a senior BBC employee came under scrutiny for having shared a plethora of antisemitic posts publicly on Facebook.
“For God’s sale, Nigel — you can’t be seen by the punters saying these things!”
The BBC itself has come under fire for its coverage of the Israel-Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
war and has had to issue several apologies since October 7.
Before that nobody bothered fussing. That’s just how the Beeb is, donchaknow. But they do really wonderful mysteries and historical dramas.
In mid-November, the BBC apologized after one of its presenters said and then repeated that IDF soldiers who had entered Shifa Hospital in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
"were targeting people including medical teams and Arab speakers."

The broadcaster was also slammed for its rush to report unverified and later disproved claims that an Israeli Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
was responsible for a deadly explosion at Gaza’s al-Ahli Hospital on October 17. The BBC subsequently apologized for that coverage as well, saying it had been too swift to assign blame.

Finally, in early January, the BBC apologized for a December report on its radio station in which it accused Israel Defense Forces troops of executing Paleostinians in the Gaza Strip.

#2  Well, he's gone now, but what the hell...

A dull halal scholar of Occam,
Herb hated Israelis. He'd stalk 'em,
Them kid-killin' meanies!
Then, smack on the beanies,
His brass Hamas hammer would knock 'em!

Though somehow they always seemed to... um... keep on a-walkin', keep on a-talkin', till they reach the promised land... [quits clapping, sits down sheepishly]
