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.
