Intensifying its propaganda against Moroccan Jews and Israel, the magazine “Akhar ed Doumva,” noted for its anti-Jewish attacks, came out today with a photograph falsely depicting a Moroccan Jewish undertaker as an officer of the Israeli Army.

The photograph shows a Jew in the uniform worn traditionally by Jewish undertakers in this country, but claims that the uniform is that of an Israeli military man. On the basis of this allegation, the publication indulges in anti-Jewish diatribes trying to create the impression that Israelis are entering Morocco illegally.
