More than 200 Jews, including many who work in some capacity with the BBC, accused the public broadcaster of “gaslighting” them in response to their complaint alleging Jew-hatred.
After the group asked the BBC to investigate alleged antisemitism, Samir Shah, chair of the BBC, wrote: “I am satisfied that where we have made errors, the executive have acted appropriately and handled matters in accordance to the guidelines as they apply to my colleagues.”
“No other minority has been or ever will be treated with this level of disdain. Over 200 Jews from within the industry, many of whom work at the BBC, felt the need to add their names to a detailed letter, over 30 pages of grievances beyond refute,” one of the signatories told the London Jewish Chronicle. “The response, nothing to see here, not even worthy of an investigation is gaslighting by every definition.”
