(Jewish Group) Jewish BBC broadcaster quits after 30 years due to antisemitism
A longtime Jewish BBC broadcaster handed in his resignation after over 30 years due to antisemitism.
The broadcaster, Rabbi YY Rubinstein, shared his resignation on Facebook and even wrote a column in the Jewish news outlet The Forward about his resignation.
"There is a well-documented culture of low-grade antisemitism that is present throughout the entire organization," Rubinstein noted in The Forward, something he said was usually hidden under the label of being merely anti-Zionist.
But the incident that was the final straw was the BBC's coverage of an antisemitic incident that occurred on Oxford Street during Hanukkah.

Of course, one need only turn to the comment section to see Jews referred to as "oven dodgers". So, is it any wonder that anti-Semitism is enjoying a renaissance of sorts? Perhaps, when it moves to more deadly consequences, a few destroyed synagogues, several HUNDRED dead Jews, then, and maybe not even then, will people start to understand that anti-Semitism is a real problem.
