Israeli journalist Gideon Cotes was nearly attacked by a group of Lebanese journalists this week in Beirut. Cotes, who also carries a French passport, was recognized by a Lebanese TV cameraman after he appeared on Israeli television. He was not allowed to "carry out any media activity and is prevented from entering the press center."
The Czech Police announced that earlier this week, a Jewish cemetery in the southwest of the country was vandalized. Five gravestones were toppled, five copper lights were stolen, and two Hebrew plaques were removed.
MEMRI reports that a book by Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlass, which presents the Damascus blood libel of 1840 as a “historical fact," enjoyed high popularity at the international book fair held in Damascus. Due to the large demand, the Tlass publishing house decided to publish its eighth reprint of the book in Arabic, and to publish it in other languages as well, such as English, French, and Italian.
