BBC is having a field day on keeping their journalists in line at all times amidst pressing issues. Two BBC news reporters are allegedly under hot waters for tweeting anti-Semitism views amidst the Israel and Palestine conflict.
On May 24, the media giant is investigating digital journalist Tala Halawa over her ‘Hitler was right’ tweet, while “The View” co-host #FireMeghanMcCain was trending in Twitter after she questioned the rise of hate crimes over the Jews and the “blatant bias in the media.”
According to Spectator, Halawa posted on her now-deleted tweet amid previous hostilities in 2014, that "Israel is more Nazi than Hitler!" The Palestine specialist said, "Oh, #HitlerWasRight – IDF go to hell #PrayForGaza."
The reporter also wrote that "Zionists can't get enough of our blood" and that "they're crying the holocaust every single moment but they're also practicing it every single moment."
Halawa also posted a graphic of a child burnt on a menorah, as well as a meme alleging that relocating "Israel into the United States" would be a "solution for the Israel-Palestine conflict."
Her cutting comments in 2014 were resurfaced due to the heightening war over Israel and Palestine and the growing dissent from Jewish people. Halawa was still associated with 24FM, a Palestinian radio station, back then. She joined BBC in 2017.
A BBC spokesperson told Spectator, “These tweets predate the individual’s employment with the BBC but we are nevertheless taking this very seriously and are investigating.”
Meanwhile, McCain was criticized for disparaging the spike of anti-Semitism of Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene with Whoopi Goldberg through roundabouts off-topic. She even compared the issue with Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. and how the official is still a member of the foreign-relations committee and has the authority to dictate foreign policies in the U.S.
“I would love Democrats to put that same type of energy onto what’s happening on the left because, quite frankly, this is is how people get red-pilled,” The View co-host said. “They’re red-pilled when they see the blatant bias in the media. It’s because the media doesn’t want the Squad to look bad. They just want Marjorie Taylor to look bad,” she added.
This added irked and ire from other guests of the show with Goldberg cutting her off for an ad break.
