Oscar-winning ex-BBC producer Lucie Kon reveals horrific antisemitic treatment. Right after October 7 a BBC colleague said “Zionists are evil” and if she wanted to call the massacre an act of terror then Israel must be labelled a ‘terror State’. This is still going on. Shameful.
The BBC has agreed to pay £400,000 to an award-winning Jewish documentary-maker who alleged she was subjected to antisemitism and pushed out of the corporation after October 7.
Lucie Kon, 57, spent 22 years at the BBC and worked on programmes including Panorama, Today, BBC Breakfast and Storyville. Films she commissioned or helped produce won an Oscar, Emmy and Bafta.
Kon says her treatment changed dramatically after the Hamas attacks. She alleges colleagues described Zionists like her as “evil”, argued that Israel should be called terrorist if Hamas was, and told her to consider what had driven Hamas to carry out the massacre.
When she proposed a documentary about October 7, Kon says she was told she was “too partial” to oversee it because she was Jewish.
She subsequently filed a formal grievance, but a BBC investigation rejected her complaint. Kon says she was then kept away from work for months. During a restructuring, her position was made redundant and she failed to secure the similar role replacing it.
She launched unfair-dismissal proceedings.
The BBC has now agreed substantial compensation, reported as £400,000, without admitting liability or accepting that Kon suffered antisemitism.
Kon says Jewish employees still at the corporation continue to face hostility and feel unable to identify openly as Jewish or Zionist.
This is so unbelievably disgusting @TheDemocrats. You have become the party of antisemitic hate and blood libels!!! Don’t you dare ever call me for a donation again! @dscc@SenSchumer
This is one of the most antisemitic things I've ever seen in a political ad, and it's for Abdul El-Sayed. The message: your life is hard, groceries are expensive, and the Jewish state is why. Total madness!
🎶 “I Think I Just Freed Palestine” 🎶
A heartfelt musical tribute to performative activism, where the slogans are loud, the Jew-hate is palpable, knowledge is optional, and the results are nonexistent.
Please support my original work by sharing directly from my post.
Abdul El Sayed is lying about how long it takes us to see a cardiologist in the US..
I guess he needs to lie to try and get people to want “Medicare for all”.
Also, the wait here is shorter than in Canada.
Unfortunately, no matter who the next prime minister is, the world will continue to demonize Israel. Whoever the people of Israel choose to lead them, I pray he has the strength, resolve, and willingness to do whatever is necessary to keep Israel as secure as possible and defeat her enemies.
@BillAckman This is not entirely accurate. They are a convenient boogeyman. You see the line moving consistently. It’s the existence of Israel Bill. Doesn’t matter who is in the Knesset
Even if Israel formed a government of Mother Teresas, as long as Israel defends itself, the Islamo-left alliance and the woke Reich will find a reason to attack it. The only way for Israel to rebuild its reputation would be to bow down to slaughter, and even then, the Jew-haters would say the Jews are reaping what they sow.
@BillAckman Bill,
They hated Israel before they were in government, and they will still hate Israel after they leave government. Israel's "lost credibility" is due to the massive global propaganda hate movement against Israel, not any actual facts.
If you’re voting D in the midterms based on your disapproval of Trump-Iran, remember this:
Iran’s IRGC is encouraging Americans to vote for Democrats in the midterms.
Surprised? You shouldn’t be.
The reality is that the most radical elements in Iran are actually a direct extension of todays Democrat Party.
In case you’ve forgotten, under Obama, Iran got >$100 billion released to them via Obama’s “nuclear deal”, which included $1.7 billion in cash, delivered on pallets.
Where do you think Iran got the money to build untold thousands of missiles and a vast array of advanced military/radar tech, targeting our men and women in uniform today?
I believe history will prove Trump correct on Iran and if I’m right, there will be statues of Trump throughout Iran, as he liberates their people from the absolute madmen running the country today.
They are threats to all of humanity and if they had nukes they wouldn’t hesitate to use them. They WANT to be martyrs. That’s their ultimate victory.
The IRGC and Democrat party are working in partnership. Obamas comments last night made that clear. They are direct enemies to America.
Remember this as you vote. 🇺🇸
WARNING TO AMERICA: This voter walked into the booth thinking about gas prices and groceries and then realized the real stakes are Dearborn, France, radical Islam, open borders, gender ideology, and a party that hates America.
Voting blue is voting to end America.
Every American needs to be aware of this before they vote during Midterms
A Muslim Islamic Military wrote a letter to Americans urging them to Vote Democrat
“The fact that the IRGC is writing a 25 page letter to Americans urging them to vote Democrat in the midterms is literally the only reason you need to not vote Democrat. Because I'm sorry, but if a military from another country, especially a military that funds numerous terrorist organizations, is telling me who to vote for in my elections, that is automatically telling me who I'm not voting for.
And the fact that they addressed this letter to the scholars, the students, and the media of America proves exactly what I've been saying about the left this entire time. They know exactly who was brainwashed over on that side. Like, I hope you guys hear these alarm bells going off
Because this is the same organization that committed a hostile takeover of the country of Iran and has been criticized by numerous countries and organizations for committing human rights violations. And they are telling you to vote Democrat. And by the way, after the takeover of this country by a literal terrorist organization”
“The fact that these are the types of people across the world that are backing the Democrat Party should be alarming to you”
This election is not about Red vs Blue. It’s about losing our country, reopening our border and eventually living under Sharia Law, or saving America
The Democrat Party is the party Muslims are using for the Islamic takeover of America. They WILL bring down America
You have to Vote Red
The biggest communal Jewish body in the UK just voted that @TheGreenParty is RACIST. This should be a shameful moment of self-reflection for the Greens but it won’t be.
NYC Council Speaker @JulieMenin voted YES on the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act, which restricts how owners of certain apartment buildings can sell their properties.
Her husband, Bruce Menin, is a founding principal of Crescent Heights, a real estate developer with over $14 billion in projects nationwide, including NYC.
I’d like to know whether any properties owned by her husband or his business interests are subject to the same restrictions she just voted to impose on other property owners.
That’s a fair question for the Council Speaker.
.@NYCMayor took the G train with @GovKathyHochul to campaign for her. Zohran should know that the very @transportworker NYC Transit Workers who delivered them to Greenpoint are under attack in contract negotiations by Hochul and her real estate mogul @MTA CEO, who are demanding massive healthcare concessions. Having to fulfill commitments and campaign alongside Hochul must be absolutely embarrassing to Zohran (on the inside). Hochul has scabbed the very picket lines that Zohran has walked in solidarity with workers. She’s scabbed the NYC Nurses strike. She’s scabbed the @LIRR workers’ and proactively tried to break their unions. Hochul’s overall trade union record is humiliating for @TheDemocrats . Right now, as Zohran keeps his promises to campaign with her , Hochul has a demand on the bargaining table to totally strip NY-NJ Port Authority workers of retiree medical benefits. These are all actions that Zohran would be completely opposed to . But business is business and commitments must be kept .
Hochul is The Bosses Governor, not a governor for The Workers. @NYSAFLCIO@CentralLaborNYC@TWULocal100
