‘It’s hard to understand why, after sharing a racist image, Gary Lineker’s being allowed to have this swansong at the weekend.’ Former Director of BBC Television, Danny Cohen, tells Tom Swarbrick that anti-Semitism is ‘not being dealt with effectively’ at the BBC.

@TomSwarbrick1 Another pro-Israel, pro-Zionism, pro-genocide senior executive at the BBC? Why the exceptionalism for Jews and Israelis? I don't get special protection as a Welshman. The BBC is totally misguided and has its priorities all wrong.

@TomSwarbrick1 Stfu - the vast majority of people think this is nonsense

@TomSwarbrick1 There's a genocide ongoing, yet here you are outraged over a mouse. Can you imagine if in 1944 we were like "Oh yes what were hearing coming from concentration camps is awful but what's really important is this one cartoon that portrays the Germans in an unfavourable light"

@TomSwarbrick1 I can call you a rat, any politician a rat. You can call me a rat. It's no big deal. There are far worse names and far more serious abuse. There's no doubt that all Zionists are rats. It's an evil death cult. Why the exceptionalism for Jews and Israelis? I smell a rat.

@TomSwarbrick1 These people make me puke! Apologists for the mass slaughter of children moaning about a fucking rat emoji!

@TomSwarbrick1 Maybe because people have eyes and support his stance on the genocide taking place and do not care about a drawing of a rat?

@TomSwarbrick1 👀Checks Directors name. Interesting.

@TomSwarbrick1 Anti Zionism isn’t antisemitism

@TomSwarbrick1 It's deeply offensive having families being bombed and starved to death .

@TomSwarbrick1 Not the auld anti semitic stick again? You’ve had your pound of flesh , losing his job, isn’t that enough for you? How’s the genocide going? Any words of condemnation on that Mr Cohen?
