A resonant antisemitic scandal has occurred at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). Dawn Queva, a senior coordinator and broadcast planner at BBC Three, was caught posting antisemitic content on social media.

According to information presented by the news site Deadline, Queva, under the pseudonym Dawn Las Quevas-Allen, actively shared antisemitic posts on social media. She promoted the theory of a ‘fake Holocaust,’ demonized the Rothschild family, described Jews as ‘invader-colonizers and subcontinental Ashkenazim with no blood ties to Palestine,’ and accused them of trafficking people kidnapped in Africa.

The Telegraph reports that more than twenty BBC employees have filed official complaints about manifestations of antisemitism within the corporation.

The BBC has repeatedly faced accusations of bias in its coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, especially following the events of October 7th. Israel’s actions were often presented exclusively in a negative context, while the role and responsibility of HAMAS were downplayed.

Furthermore, the BBC management has already been forced to apologize on several occasions for publishing unreliable information and using incorrect terminology.
