... so some Arab freelancers are anti-semitic? ... OK ... not a big surprise there ... but the leap to them being representative of the BBC in some way is not just nonsense it's dangerous nonsense... The BBC have nothing to deny - the guy is not an employee or a spokes person for the BBC ... plus the BBC is a much bigger and more relevant mainstream media outlet than one newspaper that panders to the right ... hopefully they have much better things to do than having to deny every daft thing that every freelancer has ever said is a BBC stance etc ...
Not just freelancers. This journalist was sacked after investigation. The BBC has launched an investigation into the social media activity of one of its journalists, who was found to have compared Israel to Nazi Germany. The public broadcaster said it was looking into tweets posted by Palestinian affairs specialist Tala Halawa before she began working for the corporation.
I’m doing a spring clean of my unit today, so cba to dig out the quotes lol But I was literally talking to you about the Yemen bombing at the start of the month when Trump also dropped 10% tariff on them you even liked the comment
yeah I know, I’m on my phone and also n my knees trying to sweep out a under the cupboards so stop distracting me
Keywords being "... before she began working for the corporation..." Looks like an even more desperate attempt to tar the BBC ... Reality is that any Palestinian hired by the BBC may not be overly fond of Israel (can think of at least 30,000 reasons why that might be) ... but the only way for the BBC to ensure absolute neutrality would be to fire every Arab and every Jew currently working in any capacity ... which is plain daft...
There’s also a quote with me talking to Saf about Yemen a year ago, telling him I’d been chatting about Yemen on a thread that Comm started in 2017 lol
Yeah she would have been antisemitic before she worked for the BBC but definitely not as she worked for them. K Den
