On Swedish National Radio, Journalist Asks Why Jews Shouldn’t Be Blamed for Antisemitism
File this as another reminder of why Americans must hold their media accountable so that it doesn’t sink to the lows too often seen in Europe.
Here we see journalist Helena Groll asking, on a Swedish public radio station, whether Jews should be blamed for antisemitism, and demanding her Jewish guest make a case for why they should not.
The radio station has apologized.
Last month, BBC’s Tim Willcox similarly informed a Jewish citizen of France (and countless thousands of viewers) that European antisemitism and the murders at a kosher market near Paris should be understood in the context of Israeli behavior.
