Ban on anti-Semitic TV
The week's news at a glance.
Paris
France will block broadcasts from virulently anti-Semitic Arab satellite stations, the government said this week. Jewish groups had asked for the ban after a station sponsored by the militant group Hezbollah showed a series based on the anti-Semitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. One episode, shown in France, portrayed a diseased Jewish prostitute in a European brothel discussing her desire to infect non-Jews. Another analyzed the “Jewish plot” to control the world through a global government. Arab satellite-TV programs are popular among France’s large Muslim minority.
