BBC politics presenter Jo Coburn has outed herself on live TV as a supporter of genocidal Israel – joining a long list of Zionists on the BBC.
Coburn has form, playing a full-throated part in the ‘Labour antisemitism’ scam and cutting off guests who try to bring up Israel’s crimes. In 2018, she insisted to a Jewish left-winger that figures in a mural were Jewish because they had ‘hook noses’.
Shock horror
Speaking on fellow BBC right-winger Laura Kuenssberg’s Sunday programme, Coburn expressed her supposed “horror” “as a Zionist” at the Green party’s landmark ‘Zionism is racism’ motion and opined that Green party leader Zack Polanski was finished because he allowed a democratic result to stand:
Coburn insisted that she has “always wanted to see a Palestinian state”. But she made clear that she believes that the land already stolen from its indigenous people should remain the ethno-state ‘Israel’.
But Zionism isn’t racism. The very idea.

In what capacity was Coburn appearing on the show? I gather she no longer presents The Daily Politics/Politics Live. Is she still even a BBC employee?
Guest, judging by the seating arrangement.
“Guest”, eh? (eye roll)
So glad to see you back Steve. You are better than the Canary.
