BBC reporter Tim Willcox has apologised after he told the daughter of a Holocaust survivor during a broadcast from the Paris rally yesterday: 'Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well'.The march was held in memory of the 17 who died during the terror attacks in the French capital last week.As well as 10 journalists, four Jewish people perished in a siege by Islamic militants at a Kosher supermarket.Speaking to one woman in the crowd who said she believed the issue of Jewish persecution dated “back to the days of the 1930s in Europe”, he replied: “Many critics though of Israel's policy would suggest that the Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well.”
Willcox was pilloried on social media, and the UK-based Campaign Against Antisemitism condemned his "disgraceful" comments, urging supporters to complain to the BBC. The Campaign also said it would be submitting a complaint through its legal team, citing a previous instance in which Willcox appeared to promote anti-Semitic stereotypes during another live interview.On Monday, Willcox took to Twitter to issue a public apology, saying he was "Really sorry for any offence caused by a poorly phrased question in a live interview in Paris yesterday - it was entirely unintentional."
Antisemitism is about as retarded as Islamophobia.

Well, at least the Jews wouldn't blow up or shoot you down for saying such a thing.They'd just defund you and take all of your money.
