Anti-Semitism of An-Nahar newspaper


Benjamin Barthe covers the Arab-Israeli conflict for Le Monde.  Because his first name is Benjamin, An-Nahar (the right-wing, racist anti-Syrian (people), anti-Palestinian (people), sectarian Christian newspaper who used to be decades ago the leading newspaper in Lebanon and is in its dying days), assumed that he must be Jewish.  So Benjamin had to write to the paper denying that he is Jewish.  (thanks "Ibn Rushd")
