Miriam Margolyes tritt Stars bei, die das BBC -Vorstandsmitglied AX fordern

Famous faces, including Miriam Margolyes, Charles Dance, and Mike Leigh, have signed an open letter demanding the sacking of BBC board member Sir Robbie Gibb.

Historian William Dalrymple, comedian Alexei Sayle, Zawe Ashton, and Khalid Abdalla are amongst 400 prominent figures from the arts and media world who have called the BBC’s reporting of Israel a cause of „great shame.“ The letter, which has also been signed by 111 anonymous BBC journalists, blasts the broadcaster for being „crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government.“ The signatories also claimed the coverage of being „defined by anti-Palestinian racism.“

According to GB NEws, the letter states, „We are concerned that an individual with close ties to the Jewish Chronicle… has a say in the BBC’s editorial decisions in any capacity, including the decision not to broadcast Gaza: Medics Under Fire.“

As they should. The owner of the Jewish Chronicle, an extremely pro-Israeli publication with ties to the Netanyahu government, should under no circumstances have any editorial control over the BBC

So their problem is that Jewish people have too much of a say in the bbc? Is that really the argument?

>The letter, which has also been signed by 111 anonymous BBC journalists, blasts the broadcaster for being „crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government.“

Wasn’t this the same BBC that released a documentary which had translations like turning word Jew into Israeli army (to hide who violence was being directed against), and translating the word Jihad to resistance?

The BBC is absolutely willing to go after Israel, and that’s just the regular BBC. The idea that the BBC is somehow unwilling to criticise Israel is laughable.

How have all the people demanding this documentary’s release somehow unaware of what the BBC and BBC Arabic has done?

If it’s wrong when it’s done in favour of Israel as they claim, then it should also be wrong when it’s the opposite.

Gibb was the Tories communications director, one of the many political appointments made under Boris to wage the culture wars against public bodies. Should have been sacked ages ago.
