Being Jewish and presumably having some connections to Israel he can see and feel just how unpleasant and oppressive the left-liberal-PC ideology is in that one area. Presumably he doesn't give a toss about Americans whose lives are made a misery by illegal Mexican migrants, the events in Cologne on New Year's Eve, Tommy Robinson being set up to be murdered in one of Her Majesty's Prisons, Geert Wilders (under constant Police protection from Jihadi threats being prevented from visiting the UK), or sincere conservative Christian bakers being forced to bake pro-gay cakes...to name a few more examples of oppression.

(I've just looked back to check). And the Times article shows that his BBC mindset on most matters remain as rigid and 'liberal Londoner' (as the article puts it) as ever. <br /><br />Still, it's a reminder that there can be much more to some BBC people than meets the eye, and (like Lyse Doucet on the Taliban) we should always "consider" their "humanity".

I wouldn't be surprised if he's spoken and is now speaking out a bit more than he would if left to his own devices because he knows from working with BBC staff that anti-Israel sentiment crossed over to anti-Jewish sentiment quite some time ago, and knows there is more of it on the Left that anyone has previously cared to admit.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.com
