Israel accuses China state TV of ‘blatant anti-Semitism’
The Israeli embassy in Beijing has accused China's state broadcaster of "blatant anti-Semitism" in a report on US policy during the ongoing deadly violence in the Palestinian Territories and Israel. A presenter on CGTN, the English-language arm of Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, on Tuesday mentioned several elements of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories while discussing the US government's support for Israel. The presenter said "powerful lobbies" of Jews in the United States were responsible for shaping Washington's position on the Middle East crisis and that "Jews dominate (US) finance, media and internet sectors". China has criticised the United States for blocking a joint statement on the crisis at the UN Security Council and called for the two-state solution to be implemented.
