SA newspaper chooses antisemitic illustration for story

Johannesburg - SABC is a South African broadcast network whose stated mission is "Restoration of human dignity and Building a common future."

 

They published an article today about Israeli moves to stop illegal immigration.

 

This slanted coverage - taking charges of anti-Israel "advocacy groups" as gospel - is par for the course and would barely be worth mentioning.



But how did SABC choose to illustrate an article about Israeli moves to protect her borders?



With the poster above

 

The poster has nothing at all to do with the story. It was taken during an anti-Israel demonstration in Malaysia in 2010. And if you look a little closer, you can see that this sign - which was carried by hundreds - has a caricature of a religious Jew transformed into a monkey.
