Jewish staff at the BBC called it a 'grim' and 'frightening' time

A BBC employee who shared "horrific" antisemitic content has been sacked.

Dawn Queva, a BBC scheduler, shared messages describing the Holocaust as a "holohoax".


It comes as Jewish employees at the corporation said it is a "grim" and "frightening" time to be Jewish at the BBC.

She was sacked on Friday, reports the Daily Mail.

The 55-year-old posted the messages on social media under the name Dawn Las Quevas-Allen.

One of her posts called Jewish people: "Invader coloniser species" while another allegedly described white people as: "'barbaric" and "bloodthirsty." In other posts, she referred to the UK as the "UKKK", a reference to the Ku Klux Klan.

Another message claims the Ashkenazi Jews are "a bunch of subcontinental European melanin recessive CaucAsian japhetic AshkeNazi who have no None zero zilch blood connection to the land of Palestine or Israel historically."

After initial backlash, she responded to the comments saying: "come at me... my shoulders are broad."

It comes as the BBC has come under fire for its coverage regarding the conflict in Gaza, with both sides accusing the broadcaster of bias.

A Jewish worker told the Daily Mail: "Jewish colleagues are finding it really tough seeing everyone but our bosses condemning what we have seen.

"If the BBC is serious about standing up to anti-Semitism then it needs to practice what it keeps preaching and stand up to the hate crimes committed by one of its own staff."

Another added: "The BBC needs to take a lead on this and make it clear that racism is racism and it won't be tolerated."

A spokesman for the Campaign Against Antisemitism said: "These posts are utterly horrific. Racist conspiracy theories and Holocaust-denial have no place at our public broadcaster, but what is becoming increasingly tiresome is us having to point this out.

"Barely a week goes by now without some figure at the BBC publishing some inflammatory remark relating to Jews."

A BBC spokesperson told GB News: "The individual concerned is no longer employed by the BBC."
