BBC apologises after Holocaust Memorial Day report omits Jews

The BBC apologised on Tuesday night after introducing coverage of Holocaust Memorial Day without referring to the murder of Jews, with the omission described as “hurtful, disrespectful and wrong”.

Jon Kay introduced the report on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday, saying Holocaust Memorial Day was “for remembering the six million people murdered by the Nazi regime over 80 years ago”.

The Campaign for Media Standards highlighted similar introductions by some of the BBC’s highest-profile presenters including Matthew Amroliwala and Martine Croxall, and accused the broadcaster of having “used the same script all day”.
...
Lord Pickles, who was the special envoy for post-Holocaust issues from 2015 until last year, said the failure to highlight Jewish victims in the introductions was “an unambiguous example of Holocaust distortion, which is a form of denial”. “This kind of obfuscation was common during the Soviet control of parts of Europe,” said Pickles, who is now co-chairman of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation. “For the BBC to use it today is shocking. They should be fighting antisemitism, not aiding it.”

Some antisemitism is violent against Jews; some "merely" ignores and obscures that violence.

Most pols would know that acting similarly is a good PR look, so :yawn: .

My "jury" is out on this, but some see her brushing off the liquid so casually as a sign the whole thing was staged and she knew the liquid was harmless. Her action is at least oddly incautious.

Noticed the story during a break in my show last night as was instantly suspicious. If a public figure has an unknown liquid spouted on them, why didn't they immediately clear the room and send her to the hospital ASAP? Why did she continue speaking after the incident when a potential deadly substance had been applied to her?

These two details indicate to my suspicious brain is that she KNEW this wasn't more harmful than pungent salad dressing or a feminine hygiene product, as it was said to smell like vinegar.

This whole minor incident rings of Juicy Smollett.

'If We Have to Hunt You Down the Way They Hunted Down Nazis for Decades…'

Look, I get it, liberals. You don't like deporting people. At least NOW you don't. You were fine with it when Barack Obama was putting kids in cages and giving speeches about why deportations were necessary, but then again you were fine with opposing gay marriage when Obama did too, so whatever.

I get that you think that Trump's tactics are "cruel," and that you get that thrill down your leg when you get your adrenaline up and feel especially virtuous opposing them. Mass movements have always appealed to the left, and every single issue is framed in your minds as the 1950s and 1960s civil rights movement.
...
But, really, you have lost the plot. Oppose Trump and ICE all you want, but when the mainstream liberals and Democrats start talking about "hunting down" federal law enforcement officers like Nazis, encouraging people to attack them, coordinating with people who are committing felonies, and declaring "war" on the federal government, you have officially gone insane.

Here's George Soros-backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner.  He publicly declared that Democrats will “hunt down” @ICEgov agents when @realDonaldTrump  leaves office:

“If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades…we will find your identities!”

I find it hard to believe that any of her students would ever be candidates for Harvard.

You never know.

After all, the mouth breather Big Mike's Li'l Bitch scored entry into Harvard AND Columbia Universities. What used to be a place for a good education are now granting admittance to anybody who parrots back the correct GroupThink.
