BBC Takes Action Against Employee for Antisemitic Posts

A senior scheduling coordinator at BBC Three was fired after making antisemitic and Holocaust-denying comments on her private Facebook account, including comparing Israel's first prime minister to Adolf Hitler and calling Jews "lying scum." The posts prompted backlash and were shared with alarm in WhatsApp groups. The incident has brought attention to complaints of antisemitism at the BBC, with staff and observers criticizing the network's coverage of the war in Gaza and the work environment it has created.
