BBC Reporter in Hot Water for Mild Criticism of Israel During Paris Rally

During the vomit-inducing coverage of the ‘unity’ rallies in France yesterday, a long-standing BBC reporter forgot the unwritten rule that they must never criticize the Jews and actually compared the holohoax to the Jews treatment of the Palestinians.

In an amazing but not altogether unexpected display of hypocrisy, the world’s self-proclaimed premier defenders of free speech are now calling for BBC Journalist Tim Willcox to resign.

Daily Mail:

During a live report from the streets of Paris, Willcox was speaking to a number of participants in the march, including one woman who expressed her fears that Jews were being persecuted, and ‘the situation is going back to the days of the 1930s in Europe.’ To this, Willcox, who was broadcasting on the BBC News channel replied: ‘Many critics though of Israel’s policy would suggest that the Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well.’ When the woman, shaking her head, responded saying: ‘We can’t do an amalgam’, he told her: ‘You understand everything is seen from different perspectives.’ … Willcox has today apologised for his comments, taking to Twitter to say he had not meant to cause offence. He wrote: ‘Really sorry for any offence caused by a poorly phrased question in a live interview in Paris yesterday – it was entirely unintentional.’

The usual hook-nosed suspects then got busy with Twitter condemning him, with one even pointing out that the reporter had now dared to criticise the Jews TWICE, in his shortly to finish career.

He (Simon Schama) wrote on Twitter: ‘Appalling of @BBCTimWillcox to imply any and all JEWS (not Israelis) responsible for treatment of Palestinians by hectoring lady in Paris.’ And added: ‘Then he had gall to patronise her at the end – “you see people see it from all sides” That Palestinian plight justifies anti-semitic murder?’ Jewish Chronicle editor Stephen Pollard also joined the debate, tweeting: ‘What is @BBCTimWillcox’s problem with Jews? Once is problematic. Twice is a pattern.’ The Campaign Against Antisemitism, which works to combat anti-Semitism in Britain, has circulated footage of the incident, and has called on those offended by it to formally complain to the BBC. Director of communications, Jonathan Sacerdoti, told MailOnline Willcox’s Twitter apology was ‘not really good enough’. ‘It’s an admission he has done something wrong, but it’s incumbent on the BBC to make an on-air apology and to investigate his behaviour.’

Other Jews are now calling for him to resign and an online petition has been set up demanding he apologizes.
