The Board of Deputies has condemned the BBC for not taking action against Tim Willcox after his interview with a Jewish woman about the terrorist attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris sparked anger.
A “very large number” of complaints had been received following Mr Willcox’s suggestion that “Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands” when questioning the woman, named as Chava, at a rally in Paris.
When the woman said that the situations in Paris and the Middle East could not be compared, Mr Willcox said: "But you understand, everything is seen from different perspectives".
Investigations carried out by the BBC’s Editorial Complaints Unit, found “nothing in Mr Willcox’s comments which is intrinsically disrespectful”.
