Journalist 'relieved from duties' at Radio-Canada after Jewish group calls out 'antisemitic' comments
Jewish advocacy group, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, condemned the comments and urged for leaders to do the same.
A journalist has been “relieved from her duties” at Radio-Canada, CBC’s French-language service, until further notice after a Jewish group condemned comments she made on air as “antisemitic.”
“My understanding, and that of multiple analysts here in the United States, is that it is the Israelis, the Jews, that finance American politics a lot,” said Elisa Serret, the Washington correspondent for Radio-Canada, who was speaking in French. “There is a big machine behind them, making it very difficult for Americans to detach themselves from Israel’s positions. It’s really money here in the United States. The big cities are run by Jews, Hollywood is run by Jews…”
If that answer is not permitted, how is the question permitted?The comments were made in response to host and news anchor Christian Latreille asking Serret to break down why Americans “have such difficulty distancing themselves from Israel, even in the most difficult moments.”
