Dwan Kwabe, a senior employee who worked as a broadcast coordinator for the BBC network, was fired this week after a series of severely anti-Semitic posts she published on her personal Facebook page.

In Kawaba's posts, she called Jews "parasites" and "Nazis", and even denied them the Holocaust.

The layoffs come despite the fact that after the announcement, the media responded that "we will not comment on events related to individual employees."

Kawaba used a false identity under the name "Davon Las Kawaz-Allen" to publish the anti-Semitic content, but her profile picture was the same as the one on her original page, and the shared identity between the two profiles was verified by an external media outlet.

In one of her posts, she wrote that Jews of Ashkenazi origin are "a bunch of Ashkenazis" and claimed that they have no blood or historical connection "to the land of Palestine or Israel."

In another post she presented the Jews as an "invader nation".

Kawaba's posts included the repeated use of derogatory terms for white people called "virus" and "invading species."

In other publications she has called Britain a "murderous" country and claims that white Europeans are "parasites".

In another post she claimed that the Rothschild family "financed their Holocaust conspiracy", and in another she wrote that Israel is trying to "forcefully sterilize black women without their knowledge or consent".

Before retracting, the BBC said in response to the publications on Thursday that "We will not comment on incidents related to individual employees. We have a regular policy for handling such cases. We will not tolerate anti-Semitism, Islamophobia or any other form of hatred, we will take all these allegations seriously and take with appropriate disciplinary measures wherever necessary."

A Jewish employee at the media organization told the Daily Mail that: "It is difficult for the Jewish employees to see everyone, except our bosses, condemning what we saw. If the BBC takes its stance against anti-Semitism seriously, it needs to take a clear stance against hate crimes by His employees."
