Over 200 BBC staff, contractors, suppliers, and contributors have called for an urgent formal investigation into alleged systemic antisemitism within the corporation, expressing their frustration over unaddressed complaints regarding bias and racism. The letter, which includes specific instances of prejudice experienced by Jewish employees, highlights a troubling sentiment that 'Jews don’t count' at the BBC, suggesting a disparity in the network's response to discrimination against different minority groups. BBC Chairman Samir Shah has dismissed these calls, defending the organization's inclusive culture and stating that he believes the BBC successfully supports staff from all backgrounds. Critics, including signatory Neil Grant, argue that this dismissal reflects a form of 'gaslighting' and that Jewish staff feel increasingly isolated and targeted in their work environment. The letter also references social media breaches and biased coverage related to the Israel-Hamas conflict, further deepening concerns about the BBC's impartiality. Despite the group's extensive documentation of these issues, Shah has directed them to follow existing complaint procedures rather than initiate a formal investigation.
