If only Ascher’s post had actually accused the BBC of antisemitism, your position would make perfect sense.

He had plenty of opportunity to deny that he was accusing the BBC of antisemitism, instead he doubled down on his attack, calling them ‘spineless quislings’.

Further more post no 2 did explicitly suggest that the BBC were being anti semitic (the good old fashioned sort) and Ascher updinged it, so his feelings on that are really pretty clear.

Ask yourself if the BBC would change its designation of Palestine’s capital in response to complaints form Jewish or pro-Israeli public interest groups.

No reason in principle why not. The BBC has acknowledged and responded to criticism before. I have made my own criticisms of the BBC’s middle east reporting myself, and I’m the first to acknowledge that there have been incidents of bias. The BBC are not and will never be perfect, but to suggest that they are a bunch of antisemites or Israel haters is absolute nonsense, and is a big sympathy/credibility loser IMO.

Also, answer the question honestly. Because we all know that the answer to the question is a resounding and unqualified “No.”

You do realise that’s begging the question just a tiny bit? lol
