More than a billion readers, listeners, and viewers bathe daily in the swamp of the organization’s Jew-hatred
I am a native of London and have worked as a journalist for decades on dailies and until recently as the editor of oldest Jewish newspaper in the world, the Jewish Chronicle. Twenty years ago, I found myself being booed in a synagogue while appearing on a panel about the biases of the British Broadcasting Corporation. My argument was that it was wrong to suggest, as some of my fellow panelists had done, that the BBC was institutionally anti-Semitic, even though it was clearly hostile to Israel. Cue the boos.
I was wrong and the booers were right. Anyone who has seen the BBC’s coverage of Gaza and Israel since October 7—among them the 1.1 billion people who look at the BBC’s news site every month, making it the most widely read on the planet—will have seen how slanted its reporting is. But the problem began decades before October 7, and it is now difficult—impossible, really—to argue the case I tried to make on that panel. The evidence suggests that the problem with the BBC’s coverage of Israel is far broader and stems from its attitude to Jews themselves. Even Danny Cohen, former controller of BBC One, the corporation’s main broadcast channel, now says the organization is guilty of “systemic problems of antisemitism and bias.”

Brits have been unfriendly to them for a long time.
How much has the Muslim invasion of Britain influenced the BBC and other British news outlets?
A fairly large amount of British are still butt hurt they had to leave British Palestine to Israel in 1947...
Then they imported millions of muslims who hate Jews even more than they do...
The British use the stereotype of the ‘typical’ jew to deflect attention from their own behavior, which is that of money-grubbing, money-lending bankers and financial track greasers. London is considered the banking capital of the planet, and yet curiously they claim to hate jews in oblique speech and action. It took them about fifty years give-or-take to completely toss their millennium-old brand down the toilet. Allah won’t be so merciful.
Britain has had a dislike of Jews since they were forced to leave British Palestine in 1947 to Israel.
For far too long.
I’m afraid it’s much older than that. Reread Charles Dickens with that in mind.
Well all of Europe really. I was just referring to this generation.
“...Reread Charles Dickens with that in mind”
Oh, longer than that — the British refused to allow Jews fleeing Hitler to go to Israel.
Yes, I know. That is what I was referring to. They tried to keep Holocaust survivors out of the future Israel and had to give up British Palestine. They also kept the ones they caught in camps in Cyprus.
