A senior BBC employee who penned a series of antisemitic Facebook posts that included calling Jewish people “Nazi apartheid parasites” who funded a “holohoax” has been sacked, the news outlet said.
Dawn Queva, a senior scheduling coordinator and media-strategy planner at BBC Three, peddled troubling antisemitic conspiracy theories on social media for several months until she left the company Sunday after being “sacked,” according to the British Broadcasting Corporation.
Queva’s posts — which also attacked white people, deeming them a “virus” — were shared with her employer last week as calls grew for her removal from the organization, which confirmed her exit to the Telegraph on Monday.
“The individual concerned is no longer employed by the BBC,” a BBC rep said in a statement.
The BBC added in its own story about Queva that it takes “appropriate disciplinary action wherever necessary.”
The unsettling social media posts made by Queva, whose since-deleted profile appeared under the name Dawn Las Quevas-Allen, go back nearly a decade, according to screenshots shared by Deadline, which first reported the situation.
The BBC added in its own story about Queva that it takes “appropriate disciplinary action wherever necessary.”
Dawn Queva, a senior scheduling coordinator and playout planner at BBC Three, has exited the corporation after reports of her troubling social media posts.
In one rant, Queva called Jewish people “Nazi apartheid parasites” and accused them of funding a “holohoax.”
She also referred to Israel as “Israhell” in a 2014 post and made several other updates criticizing Israel and Zionism.
“The Zionist genocidal land squatting so called Jew’ irrespective of the fact that The UKKK and Amerikkka gave away land they had no god given right to a people who have no god given right to,” Queva wrote in one post, according to screenshots shared by Deadline.
Queva made many troubling, since-deleted posts, including one calling Jewish people “Nazi apartheid parasites”.
Queva — who once worked for A+E Networks, UKTV and Disney — also repeatedly disparaged white people, whom she deemed a “mutant invader species.”
Several of her posts refer to Great Britain as the “UKKK,” in reference to the Ku Klux Klan, too, while in one, she wrote that white people are a “barbaric bloodthirsty rapacious murderous genocidal thieving parasitical deviant breed.”
Queva appeared to respond to the reports about her previous posts Friday, when she updated her Facebook wall with a video from the 1987 movie “The Garbage Pail Kids” alongside a caption that read “only those who live a lie hate the truth!”
Queva repeatedly disparaged Jewish people and white people on social media.
She also commented below by adding an infographic supposedly listing Jewish slave ship owners, as well as the famous photo of “Gordon,” an escaped slave with a heinously scarred back from years of abuse.
Queva’s alarming social media posts are believed to have been circulated in BBC WhatsApp groups created in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
The BBC fell under scrutiny for its coverage of the attack and subsequent war — and director general Tim Davie has held “listening meetings” to address the perceived bias in its work, according to Deadline.
The BBC confirmed in a statement Monday that Queva no longer works for the organization.
There have also been recent reports that 22 employees at the national broadcaster have filed complaints about antisemitism in the work place, the Telegraph added.
“We don’t comment on individual members of staff and we have well-established and robust processes in place to handle such issues, we do not tolerate anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or any form of abuse and we take any such allegations seriously and take appropriate disciplinary action wherever necessary,” a BBC representative told The Post.
