In another comment from December 2015 unearthed by Algemeiner, she wrote: “If the Islamic State were to fight for liberation in Palestine… and if they throw the Israelis out of the Holy Land, then I will join their ranks.”
DW also produced the talk-show Jaafar Talk, which routinely described Israel as the “Israeli occupation”, as did DW’s Jordanian partner station, Roya TV. DW commissioned an investigation by the Mansour Initiative for Democracy Promotion and Extremism (MIND Prevention) to examine whether staff have followed DW’s “clear commitment to Israel’s right to exist and a clear stance against antisemitism”.
Reporting its findings, MIND Prevention’s founder Ahmad Mansour recommended that DW create “structures for regular training courses on the subject of antisemitism”.
DW has said it now had a 10-point action plan in response to the report.
A spokesman for DW declined to comment when approached by the JC.
