Dawn Queva, a BBC senior staff member, was fired on Friday for posting disturbing anti-Semitic content on Facebook.
The 55-year-old playout planner faced swift termination after referring to the Holocaust as a ‘holohoax’ and using derogatory terms against Jewish people.
The BBC’s decisive action has triggered a debate on hate speech within the organisation, with calls for firm leadership responses from figures like broadcaster Andrew Neil.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism condemned the posts as “utterly horrific” and called on the BBC to confront anti-Semitism.
Queva’s termination has raised concerns about intolerance within media organisations.
