France’s leading Jewish newspaper accused its British counterpart of treason and anti-Zionism. An article in last week’s Actualite Juive criticized the London Jewish Chronicle for publishing an interview with British legislator Oona King, who recently compared Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. Ned Temko, editor of the Chronicle, replied by saying, “Oona King is an MP, Jewish, and a prominent national political figure. In interviewing her after her widely reported comments regarding Gaza, we were doing what any responsible and serious newspaper does: asking questions which our readers would have wanted to ask.”
