In today’s HR communique, we noted the recent Israeli government report on a dramatic rise in anti-semitic acts in Great Britain, and the statement of Natan Sharansky that the British media is directly to blame for this growing problem.
Sharansky specifically named The Guardian, BBC and The Independent as worthy of criticism. The Guardian reported the accusation, as did The Independent. Nothing yet from the Beeb on this matter, but in a related matter, BBC Jerusalem bureau deputy chief Simon Wilson is being refused re-entry to Israel for participating in an illegal interview with Mordechai Vanunu. The videotaped Vanunu interview was smuggled out of Israel, in defiance of Israeli law.
