More than 200 people from the TV and film industry have signed a letter to the BBC board calling for an urgent investigation into what it called "systemic problems of antisemitism and bias" at the corporation.

The letter said "208 BBC staff, contractors, suppliers and contributors from across the television and film industries, the majority of whom are Jewish" were in "anguish and disbelief" that complaints about coverage and social media posts during the Israel-Gaza war had not been dealt with.

A BBC spokesperson said it stood "united against any form of abuse, prejudice or intolerance", and had "well-established and robust processes in place to handle any concerns or complaints".

The letter referred to documents sent to BBC chairman Samir Shah, in which the group claimed there had been multiple breaches of the broadcaster's social media guidelines.

Probably they see a problem with Israel being unveiled as being ruled by a genocidal troupe in control a maniacal military. 70 odd years of oppression and now they want to kill all Palestinians should be "respected".

Former Panorama producer Neil Grant said: "When Jews tell you they feel antisemitism, don't question it or define it for us.

This was all i took away from that article. No substantial evidence of antisemitism. All examples are people criticizing Israels military actions and calling for consequences for Israelis because of that. No mentions of Jews, no antisemitism or anything worth making this complaint over.

The citizens of a state being subjected to different treatment based on that states behaviour on the international landscape is completely normal. Thats the whole point of sanctions, just like with Russia because of their Ukraine war.

If you create an ethnostate then ofcourse lots of people with that ethnicity will be affected by that states actions.

The problem with Israel supporters playing the antisemitism card every time someone even looks funny at Israel's politics is that without diving deep into each current topic it's basically impossible if it's an actual case of antisemitism or nutjobs crying wolf again.
