BBC Staff Resign from Union over ‘Hypocritical’ Call to Wear Palestinian Flag Colors, Keffiyeh

BBC Staff Resign from Union over ‘Hypocritical’ Call to Wear Palestinian Flag Colors, Keffiyeh

Several BBC journalists resigned from the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) after being asked to wear colors of the Palestinian flag or a keffiyeh, a scarf synonymous with pro-Palestinian and Hamas support, in a move deemed “hypocritical and antisemitic.”

A number of BBC staff members have quit the NUJ after receiving a directive encouraging workers to “wear something red, green, black, or a Palestinian keffiyeh,” according to aJewish News report.

The request, sent jointly by the NUJ and the Trades Union Congress (TUC), was part of a “Day of Action for Palestine” aimed at supporting a ceasefire in Gaza, a move that would undoubtedly cement Hamas’s hold on power.

Iranian Assassins Murder Chabad Rabbi in UAE

Rabbi Confirmed Murdered in UAE; Netanyahu: ‘Antisemitic Terrorism’

Rabbi Tzvi Kogan, the assistant rabbi to the growing Jewish community in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, was confirmed dead Sunday morning, apparently murdered by three Iranian agents from Uzbekistan who fled to Turkey.

The Chabad organization confirmed his death and asked people to do a good deed — a “mitzvah” — in his memory.

Rabbi Kogan had been missing since Thursday. Israeli officials contacted his relatives on Friday. There was reportedly some frustration among Israeli officials with the slow pace of investigation by UAE authorities, especially since Rabbi Kogan’s car — evidently driven by his assailants — had reportedly been stopped for speeding on the road to Oman.
