Neocon Stephen Pollard, Editor of the about to close Jewish Chronicle said: "the state has no business running schools or hospitals", he believes in a flat tax, was a founder of the neocon Henry Jackson Society & during his editorship, IPSO have made 8 findings against the paper.

In 2010, The @spectator apologised & paid damages & costs to the organisers of Islam Expo, in a case involving a blog post written by Pollard suggesting "Islam Expo Limited is a fascist party dedicated to genocide which organised a conference with a racist & genocidal programme".

Pollard became Editor of the Jewish Chronicle in 2008.

Since then:

In 2009, a peace activist accepted £30,000 damages and an apology from the paper over false claims that he had harboured two suicide bombers.

In May 2012, 3 members of a British charity received an apology & substantial damages following articles in the JC suggesting it had been designated as a terrorist organisation by the US govt & had diverted donations to fund terror and to support the families of suicide bombers.

In August 2015, dozens of prominent Jewish activists signed an open letter criticising the paper for what they viewed as its "character assassination" of Corbyn. Signatories included Laurence Dreyfus, Selma James, Miriam Margolyes, Ilan Pappé, Michael Rosen and Avi Shlaim.

In August 2017, The Jewish Chronicle published a ruling by IPSO that an article it had published earlier that year about a court case was in breach of the Editors' Code of Practice by identifying family members of the defendant.

In February 2018, The Jewish Chronicle falsely reported that Mike Sivier, a blogger and @UKLabour Party member, was a holocaust denier. IPSO upheld a complaint by Mr Sivier that the newspaper had misrepresented online comments he had made.

In April 2019, The JC published a ruling by IPSO that articles it had published about an author critical of Zionism contained inaccuracies regarding venue denial activity by Jewish organisations & the author's views & that it had failed to issue a timely correction.

In August 2019, Interpal received an apology & damages of £50,000 after The Jewish Chronicle implied that the charity had links to terrorist activity. On 23 August, the paper published the apology in full, together with an article by Ibrahim Hewitt, chair of trustees of Interpal.

In November 2019, The Jewish Chronicle published a ruling by IPSO that it had breached Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors’ Code of Practice in relation to a number of claims over four articles about a @UKLabour member published in February and March 2019...

IPSO also expressed significant concerns about the JC's handling of this complaint in that it had failed repeatedly to answer questions put to it by IPSO & considered that the publication's conduct during IPSO's investigation was unacceptable.

In February 2020, The Jewish Chronicle acknowledged that they had made untrue and distressing allegations, for which they apologised, and agreed to pay damages and legal costs.

In December 2019, The JC published an article by Melanie Phillips which asserted that Islamophobia was a bogus term which provided cover for antisemites. The Board of Deputies of British Jews described its publication as an error..

...and editor Stephen Pollard acknowledged that "A number of people within the Jewish community, and friends of the community, have expressed their dismay – and anger – at its content."

Finally, the demise of the Jewish Chronicle under Pollard's Editorship - the oldest continuously published Jewish newspaper in the world - is a great loss to many within the Jewish Community, and the loss of jobs is awful, especially at a time of global crisis.
