It's very difficult to characterize this as an isolated incident of anti-semitism by the BBC considering it's far from their first incident, and considering further that the BBC has spend 20 years and well over £300,000 keeping the 20,000 word Balen Report into their perceived anti-Israel bias buried.

How can we be expected to believe that there is no anti-semitism at play when the BBC claim that they refuse to call Hamas a terrorist organization because 'Terrorism is a loaded word, which people use about an outfit they disapprove of morally. It's simply not the BBC's job to tell people who to support and who to condemn [...] We don't take sides. We don't use loaded words like "evil" or "cowardly". We don't talk about "terrorists".' despite the fact they actually do that constantly, and have for decades?

Sudesh Amman: From troubled schoolboy to terrorist

Between 1969 and 2001 over 3,526 people were killed in terrorist violence in the UK. ↑ this one is from BBC Bitesize, educational material the BBC writes for children. I guess editorializing to children doesn't count as taking sides.

The BBC clearly has no problem naming and shaming terrorism when Jews aren't the target. This assertion of "Jewish wealth" isn't only an obvious Elders of Zion appeal, it's the latest in a long, long line of Isolated Incidents of the BBC suddenly altering its established reporting standards for only the situations where they address the one country in the world full of Jewish people.
