Australian archbishop bans jokes about Jews
By DPA
Tags: Israel News, Jewish World 

Archbishop of Adelaide Philip Wilson has told his flock they should not tell Jewish jokes.

Archbishop Wilson said Friday that Catholics must be respectful and sensitive towards Jews.

"My sense about this is, we have to be especially careful about the way that we talk about the Jewish people because of the way that they've been persecuted and treated for over a thousand years, and especially during the Holocaust in World War II," he said.
