NBC - LAW & ORDER PRODUCERS ACCUSED OF ANTISEMITISM

A pro-Israel organization, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), has accused the producers of NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent of fostering anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli sentiments in the U.S. The organization cited a February 27 episode in which a Jewish police captain in New York shuts down an investigation when it appears that it might implicate Israel. The episode also shows Israeli bulldozers destroying Palestinian schools. In its statement, CAMERA said, "During this time of escalating anti-Semitism and anti-Israel animus, the show's executives have shown extremely poor judgment to promote such an anti-Jewish, anti-Israel storyline."
