BBC to pay compensation to Jewish producer over antisemitism claims

In depth

Lucy Kon, an award-winning Jewish producer, claims she encountered antisemitic remarks from colleagues at the BBC after October 7. According to her, colleagues called Zionists "evil" and demanded that she "provide context" for the massacre. According to Ynet, her ability to produce a film about the Nova festival massacre was questioned because of her Jewishness.

According to N12, after she complained about the treatment towards her, the corporation isolated her and ultimately pushed her out of the workplace. According to Ynet, she worked at the BBC for 22 years.
