Ofcom suspends senior officer after outrageous anti-Israel views exposed

Madzingira describes herself as "a Zimbabwean, a Black Feminist, a student of decolonisation".

She has liked a variety of posts online that condemn Israel and support Palestine.

WATCH NOW: ‘The whole of Britain is against the BBC on this!'  

Madzingira liked a post from Black Lives Matter which describes the UK Government's support for Israel as "a vile colonial alliance".

Another post which she liked stated that Britain’s Royal Navy ships in the Middle East were taking part in the "ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians".

In an Instagram story post from an account understood to be Madzingira's, she said: "My account has been chaotic for the last week bouncing between the *continued* targeting of Palestinians and dumb s***.

"Mostly because I could not process that we continue to act with surprise at what happens in an apartheid state and because I just feel like I'm donating and reposting and still going to life everyday?

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

• 'Are they mad?!' Uri Geller says 'Britain is against BBC' as broadcaster refuses to budge on Hamas policy
• Palestine protest sparks fury after Cenotaph in London hijacked by activists: 'A damn disgrace'
• Activist with Israel flag in central London 'threatened with beheading' by protester

"I used to ask my constitutional law teacher how genocides could have gone on for so long and maybe this is how... To see Jewish activists protest loudly that they or their loved ones survived Auschwitz so they *must* stand with Palestine. It just seems so clear to me.

"As a Zimbabwean, a Black feminist, a student of decolonisation and deep believer of liberty for all, I have, do and will only have one hope."

An Ofcom spokesperson said: "Having reviewed these comments, we’ve suspended this colleague, pending further investigation."

Yesterday, thousands of protesters gathered in London to take part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration ahead of an expected ground invasion in Gaza.

Supporters carried signs demanding the Israeli government to "stop bombing Gaza" as Palestinian flags flooded the capital city.

Meanwhile, the BBC has also faced criticism for their coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

An "urgent investigation" has been launched by the corporation after several of their journalists in the Middle East took to social media and appeared to celebrate the attack by Hamas.

Reporters at BBC News Arabic were said to have supported comments comparing Hamas to freedom fighters.

Another comment described the October 7 massacre as a "morning of hope".
