Outrage erupted among British Jews and Jewish organizations after one of the BBC’s top programs, “Politics Live,” held a panel discussion debating whether Jews are an “ethnic minority,” which many deemed offensive.
The only Jewish participant on the panel, Benjamin Cohen — CEO of Pink News — tweeted afterwards, “I’ve just been on the BBC’s ‘Politics Live’ where the BBC literally just asked four non-Jews if they agreed with me that Jews are an ethnic minority.”
“Imagine if I was black and four white people were asked to judge if I was a member of an ethnic minority. It would be as offensive,” he said.
