Belgium: Media reports about "Jews who want to go back"



I need to make a new tag for 'media hypocrisy when it comes to Jews'.

When Netanyahu called Jews to 'come back home', Europeans were upset at the nerve of the Israeli Prime Minister.  The home of European Jews is Europe.  Why should Israel be their home?  That's such a Zionist sentiment.

But, of course, there's one standard for Jews and Israel and there's another standard for the media.

Brussels is currently hosting its first every Aliya-fair, for Jews interested in making Aliyah to Israel.

Flemish paper De Morgen decided to title this story: "Fair for Jews who want to go back".

Go back where?  The answer is so obvious, De Morgen editors didn't even feel the need to specify.

VRT headlined the same story: "First info-fair for Jews who want to move to Israel", but the article itself refers to Jews who "go back to Israel".  Same goes for their video report.
