(Jewish Group) Board of Deputies calls for BBC to apologise over bus abuse report
The Board of Deputies has called on the BBC to apologise over its reporting that Jewish victims of antisemitic abuse aboard a bus on Oxford Street had used an anti-Muslim slur.
The Met Police is treating Monday’s incident, captured in a widely shared video this week, as a possible hate crime.
A line in the BBC’s coverage read: “A slur about Muslims can also be heard from inside the bus. The Met Police has said the incident will be looked at ‘in its entirety’.”
But the GnasherJew Twitter account said on Friday that it had investigated the clip and found the phrase “Tikra lemishehu, ze dachuf” could be heard rather than a slur.

Unreal, or at least it would be were it not SO common to blame Jews for anti-Semitism directed at us!
