Israeli Ambassador: British Jews Fed "a Relentless Diet of Media Distortions"
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Daniel Easterman - Israeli ambassador to the UK Daniel Taub said Tuesday that British Jews had been fed "a relentless diet of media distortions." "When trade unions resolve to boycott the only country in the Middle East which has a free trade union. When the media chooses to exact a price on the only country in the region which permits journalists to travel freely, and to report without intimidation." "When at the Edinburgh festival violent rioters prevent Israeli productions from performing for the first time. When supermarkets cave in to hooliganism by taking Israeli and even non-Israeli kosher products off the shelves. In this environment, a new generation of the Jewish people is coming of age. Fed on a relentless diet of media distortions, they leave school and go to universities where voices for Israel are rare and often silenced."
