A Canadian media magnate criticized a columnist at one of his magazines for an anti-Semitic column. Conrad Black, who owns The Spectator in London, said Taki Theodoracopulos had issued a “blood libel on the Jewish people wherever they may be” that was “almost worthy of Goebbels.” Theodoracopulos wrote that “the way to Uncle Sam’s heart runs through Tel Aviv and Israeli-occupied territory” and described Israelis as “those nice guys who attack rock-throwing youth with armour-piercing missiles.”
