From the JC:
The BBC has continued to use a contributor even after it emerged he had repeatedly incited violence against Jews, including saying he would burn them “as Hitler did”.
Samer Elzaenen, who has appeared on the BBC’s Arabic channel more than a dozen times since the October 7 atrocities, was most recently used in July as an eyewitness to describe the hunger in Gaza, under the headline “Starvation as a ‘weapon of war’: What does it mean and when was it used in history?”
His July appearance came despite several reports in April – including in the JC – that he had posted extremist slogans including “#WeAreAllHamas You Son of a Jewess”.
In July 2022, a post on his Facebook read: “When things go awry for us, shoot the Jews, it fixes everything,” the Telegraph reported.
Are we surprised? No, we are not surprised.
