The Chinese state-owned news agency Xinhua published a caricature of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken with appalling anti-Semitic imagery.
The caricature, which accompanied a report about a meeting between Blinken and WHO head Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in Kuwait last month, depicts Blinken with a grossly enlarged nose, devil horns and an American flag cape symbolizing his “power over the world” holding a “COVID origin” report.
“This anti-Semitic tweet from Chinese state media is despicable,” the American Jewish Committee (AJC) stated.
“Xinhua’s depiction of [Blinken], a Jew and stepson of a Holocaust survivor, utilizes overt tropes of anti-Semitism, including a large nose, devil horns, and accusations of global control. What a shameful display.”
“Throughout history, anti-Semites have used ‘Jewish features,’ like enlarged noses, in cartoons or propaganda to sway the public against the Jewish people.”

I have no problem stating that from this despicable act of verbal terrorism Chinese Gov’t should be held accountable and not be allowed into Israel__time to acknowledge what is respectable what is not…awful
Not to mention the American flag Tallis!
Talk about the boy who cried wolf. Before I read the article I looked and looked at the picture. I looked for the classic anti Semitic things. I don’t see the classic long nose or dollar signs. Since when did devil horns become anti Semitic? Anti American yes not ant Semitic
there is nothing anti Semitic about that picture just because its a demeaning picture of a demonic person doesnt make it anti Semitic
