German paper publishes, "in error", an anti-Semitic cartoon - apologizes!

[Norwegian]

Berliner Zeitung's front page, in a tribute to Charlie Hebdo.

The daily Berliner Zeitung in error published an anti-Semitic cartoon on its front page, under the mistaken impression that it was a front page of the satirical French weekly Charlie Hebdo.

In a tribute to the French magazine a day after the massacre at its editorial offices, the Berlin daily published several of Charlie Hebdo's past cover pages.

One of them, however, was a fake, showing a cartoon drawn by the anti-Semitic illustrator Joe le Corbeau. The cartoon showed an orthodox Jew, with a caption saying “1 million rebate out of six, for Palestine.” The word “rebate” is a wordplay suggesting rabbis and rebate in German.

People at the Israeli embassy in Berlin noticed the erroneous cartoon and pointed out references that should have alerted the editors at Berliner Zeitung.

These include the fact that the name of the magazine on the cover is Charlo instead of Charlie, and the barcode at the bottom of the cartoon indicates 6,000,000, the number of Jewish Holocaust victims and not a real barcode number.

Embassy officials also noted that the pineapple that appears next to an orange banner in the cartoon is a reference to a song by the anti-Semitic French comedian Dieudonne, labeled “Shoananas.” The singer’s website boasted of posting this fake tribute.

Berliner Zeitung a day later apologized for posting the cartoon.

What? So that's it? You are free to insult "feelings" and "sentiments" of 1.6 billion Muslims but not 14 million Jews? Is this the practical definition of Western 'freedom of speech' aka. hypocrisy and double-standards? Well, good luck with that!

Because Zionists will give Germany a response they can't afford.

Freedom of speech does not mean that every publication be even handed at all times. Every place has its own editorial policy. If somebody disagrees, let them create their own publication and they have the freedom to do so. That is freedom of speech.

 

[RescueRanger]

We all know why the "Ze Germans" were quick to issue an apology, but I thought the "freedom of speech" included an unalienable right to "offend" and "insult" whoever you want? So much for freedom of speech, huh! :/

 

[W.11]

somebody tell jews that it were not muslims who gassed them, fed them to the hungry lions in colossium, it were europeans

[SrNair]

I dont support these type of freedom of speech.
Whatever it ,Medias should stay away from criticising other peoples beliefs and religions.Belivers also have their own human rights .

This is obviously offensive to jews. But...do you see any jew shouting the name of god and going on a killing spree?

 

[ranjeet]

Always know if the Jews are worth the squeeze.

Like what? Samson Option is still on the table

We possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: 'Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.' I consider it all hopeless at this point. We shall have to try to prevent things from coming to that, if at all possible. Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under

Martin Levi van Creveld - an Israeli military historian - as quoted in David Hirst's The Gun and the Olive Branch (2003)

Really? So why this apology? Insulting Muslims = freedom of speech. Insulting Jews = antisemitism? Get the picture?

Its already available on the internet.

Definition of a bootlicker

LOL!

Yes, that's where Jews differ from Muslims. They are not maniacs like today's extremist Muslims.

Jews fight with knowledge, not weapons. Weapons are only used against barbaric terrorists, and journalists are not in that group
