Israel Accuses Chinese State TV of "Blatant Anti-Semitism"
(AP) Israel's Embassy in China is protesting "blatant anti-Semitism" on a program of the overseas channel of state broadcaster CCTV discussing Gaza. On Tuesday, host Zheng Junfeng said: "Some people believe that U.S. pro-Israeli policy is traceable to the influence of wealthy Jews in the U.S. and the Jewish lobby on U.S. foreign policy-makers. Jews dominate finance and internet sectors." He then accused the U.S. of using Israel as a "beachhead" in the Middle East. The Israel Embassy tweeted, "We have hoped that the times of the 'Jews controlling the world' conspiracy theories were over. Unfortunately anti-Semitism has shown its ugly face again. We are appalled to see blatant anti-Semitism expressed in an official Chinese media outlet."
