Scarborough Wants BBC Reporter Fired for Israel Comment

Scarborough Wants BBC Reporter Fired for Israel Comment (Mediaite)

One day after BBC reporter Tim Willcoxapologized for his much-criticized statement about Israel and Palestine, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough lit into him and the rest of “left-leaning media” for trying to paper over anti-Semitism because “it doesn’t fit their political agenda.”

Willcox had been speaking at Sunday’s Paris Unity Rally to a daughter of a Holocaust survivor, who told him of growing fears of anti-Semitism in France. Willcox responded that “many critics, though, of Israel’s policy would suggest that the Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well.” (He later called it a “poorly phrased question” and “entirely unintentional.”)
