BBC fires senior employee accused of repeated antisemitic posts

The BBC says that it has fired a senior employee who came under scrutiny for having shared a plethora of antisemitic posts publicly on Facebook.

“The individual concerned is no longer employed by the BBC,” a spokesperson for the broadcaster tells The Telegraph.

Dawn Queva, who uses Facebook under the name Dawn Las Quevas-Allen, was a senior scheduling coordinator at BBC Three.

Queva has been promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial on Facebook for several years.

As early as 2014, she referred to Israel as “Israhell,” Ashkenazi Jews as “AshkeNAZI,” and the Holocaust as the “supposed holocaust of the fake Jew in Europe.”

In the same 2014 post, Queva called the BBC the Bigoted Broadcasting Cretins.
