Several journalists working for the British Broadcasting Company’s Arabic service have gone on a Twitter scrubbing spree to remove numerous anti-Israel tweets, which constituted a flagrant violation of the UK taxpayer-funded outfit’s employee social media guidelines.
Among the most offensive posts that have now vanished from Twitter include one that refers to the Jewish state as the “terrorist apartheid state of Israel” and another that labeled all Israelis “terrorists.”
It is therefore clear that the journalists featured in our piece were well aware of how their social media postings broke the BBC’s rules on how its journalists should conduct themselves to avoid conflict with the broadcaster’s commitment to impartiality.
