Subject: Language perception

An example of how wrong language perception by journalists can be (stating
French is the language of Antwerp Jews).
Unfortunately this kind of journalistic "wisdom" is often recooked in
serious encyclopedias.

-- Quote: Belgisch Israëlitisch Weekblad, 12 Adar 5763 (Feb 14, 2003):
'Jerusalem Post' over Joods Antwerpen.
0nlangs verscheen in het Israëlische dagblad de 'Jerusalem Post' van de hand
van Corinna Da Fonseca-Wollheim een uitvoerig artikel over de joodse
gemeenschap in Antwerpen.
Spijtig genoeg geeft de auteur op sommige punten, geen waarheidsgetrouw
beeld weer.[...]. En wij hebben ook onze bedenkingen bij de bewering 'dat de
joden Frans spreken, alhoewel ze hier al vele tientallen jaren wonen',
hetgeen veel Vlamingen als de grootste misdaad van de joden beschouwen. De
schrijfster van het artikel is blijkbaar nooit in Antwerpen geweest. Anders
had ze geweten dat de voertaal in de joodse scholen en de joodse gemeenten
Nederlands is en dat het plaatselijke joodse weekblad in de taal van Vondel
verschijnt[...]
