Well, tell us something we didn't know:

The BBC are still refusing to publish the Balen Report after 20 years - anti-semitism is endemic.
bear in mind that the BBC is funded through taxation and yet it's own investigations are kept secret..

Not even a squeak of disapproval from the two-faced hypocrites that make up the Labour lot. Their selective virtue signals don't apply to things that matter, like brainwashing the population and lying to the people whilst extorting them out of money for a dishonest corrupt service that they'd have to pay us to watch.
It's truely sickening.

The number of licence payers is dropping. The face of TV is changing with Internet streamed services and social media. If you don't want their stuff don't buy their licence.

It would be a bit rich for Mr Cohen to be accusing the BBC of anti-Semitism given the large number of Jews, including himself, who have been appointed to prominent roles within the organisation. I believe the Jewish term for such an outlandish claim is 'chutzpah'.
Actually though, according to the link in the OP, he is not charging it with anti-Semitism but with displaying an 'anti-Israel bias' in some of its reporting about the Gaza conflict. Not the same thing, that seems to be the product of an over-febrile imagination, not to mention an 'anti-BBC bias' on the part of some members here.

Experience has taught us that observing how the BBC report issues is not the same as either the lived experience on the ground or indeed as observed from other information available. To my mind it was obvious about twenty years ago and the BBC newsroom is co-opted into government narrative by reporting issues with some aspect already decided as fact, man made climate change is the prime example; also not being critical of reports and research that feeds into any narrative when often they are supposed to study reports and comment critically on them, there are many examples of this many on the climate change narrative but also several in the political sphere especially as regards smaller parties on the Right. The diversity agenda is above and beyond the duty imposed by the Equality act. So being over febrile as regards the BBC is a forgivable sin. |

It is for many people, the BBC position is to report and accept comments from experts and those involved, it is not to report scientific theory as fact nor to fill in the blank spaces as regards causes with the climate change details. The BBC reported that Climate change was making these events like the Spanish floods more common yet presented no evidence to show how they made that connection. Even the IPCC do not make that link in terms of frequency and severity as regards weather events although the theory holds that they could but there is no evidence that they are doing so yet. AGW may or may not be a catastrophe in the offing what it is not as yet is scientific fact and should not be reported as such. |

... and the laughable part, we fund their bias agenda with our licence fees, how about we refuse to the pay on the grounds they are using the BBC (and our money) as a platform to promote/encourage/engage in antisemitic hatred.

Last week’s Sunday Telegraph was dominated by a headline that the ‘BBC “has breached rules 1,500 times” over the Gaza war’. This referred to a new Report by the Israeli-based lawyer Trevor Asserson which alleged multiple breaches of the BBC’s impartiality regulations and and claimed that the BBC ‘was heavily biased against Israel’.www.mediareform.org.uk/blog/bbc-bias-gaza-asserson-reportMore than 100 BBC employees are accusing the corporation of providing favourable coverage toward Israel and are calling on the broadcaster to “recommit to fairness, accuracy, and impartiality” over its reporting on Gaza.
Which to believe...?

Surely both can be true - if you are biased against Israel then it's natural that you will see any reporting that doesn't condemn Israel as favourable. |

I wouldn't believe what the BBC employees are saying.
