BBC staff : antisemitism claims ignored

Over 200 BBC staff, contractors, suppliers, and contributors have written a letter declaring that antisemitism is systematic at the BBC, claiming that “Jews don’t count.”

The signators are demanding “an urgent formal investigation” into what the letter described as “anti-Jewish racism” at the BBC.

BBC Chair Samir Shah dismissed the calls for an investigation, praised the BBC’s “inclusive” culture, and highlighted a process for whistle-blowers in response to the letter.

KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with one of the signators ,TV producer Gary Cohen.
