Queva’s posts, which have still not been taken down, are of a rambling and vitriolic nature, and she refers to the “holohoax” and “AshkeNazis”, the latter of which is a play on the word ‘ashkenazi’, meaning Jews who descend from those who lived in Central or Eastern Europe.
This person was a schedule co-ordinator, their job role is to schedule meetings for staff. They have zero influence over the BBC’s content and their personal views are frankly irrelevant.
This is barely any more concerning than hearing a janitor at a McDonald’s was racist.
If an openly vocal white supremacist works at my local McDs even as a janitor, Im not going to McDs.
Their views and influences are relevant in the real world, and affect coworkers.
McDonalds employs millions of people across the world, and you would let one insignificant idiot who was disciplined over it define the company?
That’s certainly an extreme take, especially when action has been taken against said employee.
This article is grasping at straws.
Antisemitism is so easy for others to pass off as inconsequential. In fact, folks like you have been doing it for a millenia or two.
One persons views are inconsequential and this is part of a wider effort to brandish antisemtism as a weapon to discredit trusted institutions who are speaking out against Israeli war crimes.
Yeah it’s just the latest in the long, long, long, long, long, long, long series of isolated incidents of antisemitism by BBC staff, which is totally not indicative of an institutional problem. Neither is the fact that they’ve spent the better part of half a billion keeping the public from finding out the contents of the Balen Report.
Kind of unrelated but since Israel has really stepped up their “any criticism of what we do is antisemitism” whenever I see someone get accused of antisemitism my first reaction is “yeah sure, did they say Israel shouldn’t bomb hospitals or something?”
So even in cases like this where its 100% actual antisemitism, Israel bullshit affects your opinion of it.
