The Jerusalem Post uses as lead illustration an anti-Semitic trick photo from five years ago

Anti-Semitism is always rooted in deceit and also here

The Jerusalem-based daily/weekly that used to be Zionistic has published many questionable articles lately. The newest is a fine article that calls out Hallmark for two new ‘Hanukkah movies’ which in fact are anti-Jewish, to say it mildly. So far, so good.

But the illustration of the critique is a five year old picture that is taken under such an angle and from so close-by, that a gigantic Christmas tree behind it disappears behind it. The ground is not in the frame so that one doesn’t  see the manipulation.

This is what the JPost brings:

And this was reality from a normal angle:

As I found with one quick Google search after my intuition said that something was fishy about the JPost’s illustration and caption.

A tree is known by its fruit. Only this tree has quite a variety of produce, so please don't judge the trunk after one helping.
