Radio-Canada apologizes after reporter uses antisemitic language on air

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/radio-canada-antisemitism-1.7635278

Correspondent Élisa Serret was doing a television hit from Washington about U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to Israel — a trip that came soon after Israeli forces launched strikes on Hamas targets in Qatar.

Asked by the host of news program Sur le terrain why the U.S. has not distanced itself from Israel in the wake of that military action, Serret said in French "the Israelis, in fact the Jews, finance a lot of American politics" and control a "big machine."

She added that America's big cities and Hollywood are "run by Jews."In


The fact that anyone would think this perfectly fine to say on the air on the CBC.

Doesn’t look to me like Jews are running anything. Not in NYC, not in Hollywood, not anywhere.

People are brought up with tropes and they just can’t let go.

They weren't hamas targets there, they were hamas negotiators invited by USA and Qatar to get a ceasefire. Trump said he knew nothing until it happened, but of course he lied. Now they have proof he did know ahead of time. He said before if he would known about it, he would have stopped it.

trope that falsely blames and demonizes, Jews.

Let me spell it out for you:

" "the Israelis, in fact the Jews, finance a lot of American politics" and control a "big machine."
She added that America's big cities and Hollywood are "run by Jews."


You do realize this is the Jewish Group?

This is about a POS radio show host trotting out well worn antisemitic tropes about Jews controlling Hollywood.
