(Jewish News) Ofcom has fined the Islam Channel £40,000 after it broadcast a documentary which was deemed to have amounted to “hate speech against Jewish people.”
An investigation by the broadcast watchdog found that Islam Channel Limited (“Islam Channel”) had failed to comply with broadcasting rules when in February 2021 it broadcast The Andinia Plan, a one-hour documentary examining a conspiracy theory which originated in a neo-Nazi publication.
The theory, known as the “Andinia Plan,” alleged there was a plan to establish a Jewish state in Patagonia, the southern region of South America governed by Argentina and Chile.
