BC Broadcaster Rabbi YY Rubinstein announced he would resign from the broadcasting corporation due to "inexcusable" antisemitism on Monday.

Rubinstein posted his resignation letter on Facebook, writing it is "a very sad moment" for him. He wrote that his resignation was sparked by the broadcaster's coverage of a group of Jewish teenagers being attacked on a bus in London....

...Rubinstein's resignation follows the BBC being named on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's "global anti-semitism 2021 top ten list" in December. The report criticized the BBC for both their reporting of the bus incident, as well as statements from BBC reporters considered antisemitic.

"BBC falsely reported that anti-Muslim slurs could be heard from within the bus, deftly turning the victim into the victimizer. Subsequently, BBC has been accused of breaking the law in its reporting of the incident and is being sued...

Not a good year for the BBC - censored by the Queen and now sued for blatant antisemitism.

From the article, over 1300 antisemitic acts occurred in the UK during the period Jan-Jun, 2021.

This excerpt is interesting:

Rubinstein's resignation follows the BBC being named on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's "global anti-semitism 2021 top ten list" in December. The report criticized the BBC for both their reporting of the bus incident, as well as statements from BBC reporters considered antisemitic.

"BBC falsely reported that anti-Muslim slurs could be heard from within the bus, deftly turning the victim into the victimizer. Subsequently, BBC has been accused of breaking the law in its reporting of the incident and is being sued, the claimants stating that the passengers on the bus are being discriminated against in the BBC's reporting of the incident," the report read.

So apparently, if the reporting is false and negative, that violates laws against "discrimination"?

I assume that, as usual, this law protects all minority groups (Jews, Blacks, Gays, Muslims, etc.), but not Whites or Christians.

I wish Whites and Christians in the U.S. could sue for such "discrimination." Within weeks, we'd have enough lawsuits to bankrupt the entire American news media.

Muslims outnumber Jews over there, I’m sure. I also wonder if there is any record of sentiment towards Jews there from the time around the Second World War. Deutschland didn’t have a monopoly on antisemitism - it was everywhere. That might be the only other time in history with that level of hate towards the Jewish demographic.
