Berlin – A German newspaper has apologized for mistakenly publishing a fake Charlie Hebdo cover that featured an anti-Semitic cartoon on its front page the day after the French publication was attacked last week.

The daily Berliner Zeitung featured four real Charlie Hebdo covers on its front page Jan. 8, along with a fake one depicting what appears to be an Orthodox Jew making a quip about the Holocaust. The cover carried the name “Charlo Hebdo” — one of the clues it was a fake.
The Berliner Zeitung said Thursday it “failed to recognize that one of the cartoons was a fake” and offered its “profoundest personal apologies for this highly regrettable mistake.”
It said it had posted a correction in Friday’s paper acknowledging that it mistakenly printed an anti-Semitic cartoon.
If you look close, its the same cartoon as the Mohammad on the right, with a black hat and suit.
Come on Eli, you don’t see the words:
Shoah Hebdo
This violates laws in Germany, free speech-except genocide, those fun loving people.
I cannot read the article (can’t read German anyway), but what points was it trying to make? The newspaper appears to be making the point that the magazine insulted everyone, but the only ones who violently reacted were the Muslims.
