It's very difficult to characterize this as an isolated incident of anti-semitism by the BBC considering it's far from their first incident, and considering further that the BBC has spend 20 years and well over £300,000 keeping the 20,000 word Balen Report into their perceived anti-Israel bias buried.
How can we be expected to believe that there is no anti-semitism at play when the BBC claim that they refuse to call Hamas a terrorist organization because 'Terrorism is a loaded word, which people use about an outfit they disapprove of morally. It's simply not the BBC's job to tell people who to support and who to condemn [...] We don't take sides. We don't use loaded words like "evil" or "cowardly". We don't talk about "terrorists".' despite the fact they actually do that constantly, and have for decades?

Between 1969 and 2001 over 3,526 people were killed in terrorist violence in the UK. ↑ this one is from BBC Bitesize, educational material the BBC writes for children. I guess editorializing to children doesn't count as taking sides.
The BBC clearly has no problem naming and shaming terrorism when Jews aren't the target. This assertion of "Jewish wealth" isn't only an obvious Elders of Zion appeal, it's the latest in a long, long line of Isolated Incidents of the BBC suddenly altering its established reporting standards for only the situations where they address the one country in the world full of Jewish people.
You know why I choose to spend time on this? Because it's against everything the West stands for, propagated by the West.
It's a gigantic hypocrisy, misguided pseudo-tolerance and at the same time extremely dangerous.
This behavior here is almost stalinistic. If you don't follow the exact path given by a higher authority, you are automatically the utmost despicable enemy. There's no room for discussion or truth. It's just empty phrases to show how much you follow the public line.
That's extremely dangerous. Think about all the current debates. There's hardly any middle ground. It's A or B and a giant abyss in the middle. Israel is the prototype for this. And guys like Trump the abhorrent offspring.
Honestly, I don't give more of a shit about Israel or Palestine or some bloke in another country. But in most conflicts, there isn't some imagined moral high ground.
