L.A. JEWISH AND KOREAN COMMUNITIES CONDEMN KOREAN HATE BOOK

In a followup to this subject I wrote about earlier, the Los Angeles Times reports that L.A Jewish and Korean community leaders have both condemned "Monnuru Iunnara":

Korean American community leaders who met with a top official at the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles on Friday said they were disgusted by anti-Semitic depictions in a comic book by a popular South Korean author and vowed to mobilize community resources to launch a protest against the publisher.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Wiesenthal Center, met with the group and said he would visit Seoul on March 15 to raise concerns about the comic book. He said its publisher has an obligation to pull the book from the market and replace it with one that depicts Jews accurately.

I think a book that gives an accurate and respectable picture of the Jewish community, as well as for the white and black communities, would be quite welcome for a change indeed.

Update: here's one more article from YnetNews.
