Gary Lineker returned to the BBC after anti -Semitic posts

After 26 years in the first English news channel, the former Leicester scorer and FC Barcelona Gary Lineker will leave the BBC at the end of the season, and not in the most beautiful way. Gary Lineker is expected to leave the BBC on Monday due to the anti -Semitic controversy that broke out after he shared a publication on social networks featuring a rat representing “Zionists”.

“Given the anti -Semitic nature of the content shared by Mr. Lineker, it is normal for him to leave the BBC. But sharing this message by Mr. Lineker is a symptom of the problem, and not the problem itself ”said Danny Cohen, ex-director of the BBC, at Telegraph. In an Instagram post, Lineker had written “Zionism explained in two minutes” Accompanied by an emoji representing a rat, and a video of the pro-Palestine lawyer Diana Buttu.
