Green MP Golriz Ghahraman has been accused of spreading a "disgusting centuries-old anti-Semitic trope" after sharing a social media post accusing Israeli authorities of "medical apartheid" in the fight against COVID-19.
Earlier this week activist group Jewish Voice For Peace shared an edited screenshot of a New York Times article. It originally read, 'How Israel Became a World Leader in Vaccinating Against COVID-19', but the group "fixed it for them" by crossing out 'Vaccinating Against COVID-19' and replacing it with 'MEDICAL APARTHEID' in bright red letters.
