(Jewish Group) Argentine journalist said the coronavirus was created by rich Americans and Israelis
An Argentine journalist apologized after saying that the coronavirus was created by rich Americans and Israelis during a prime-time news program.
Tomás Méndez, host of the popular ADN Tv, said on Wednesday that bats are not responsible for the coronavirus, humans are.
Those humans, he said, are the richest of the world, some born in the United States, others in Israel and another in Europe, who are the owners of your life, who created this virus. He singled out the Rothschild family, who often appear in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, and Bill Gates.
His comments triggered harsh criticism.
Linking the Jewish community to economic power and conspiracies shows a clear anti-Semitic matrix of behavior, the National Institute Against Xenophobia and Racism, or INADI, said in a statement on Twitter.
