This Was A Heroic Act, My Greatest Accomplishment

Text

I believe this was a heroic act on my part, because I published names and surnames of Palestinian children from Gaza on a Jewish network.

ZAGREB, CROATIA -

- This is the first in a line of layoffs, they will continue later on – Vedrana Rudan commented on the Filip Hofer-.--.-suspension of editor Danijel Delale, which followed after her `Jew` comment, most severely condemned by the Jewish community in Croatia, calling it hate speech.

Vedrana Rudan, who was fired herself, said she does not think she did something wrong and this is why she did not wish to apologise for her statements.

- They asked me to apologise and if I had, I would have kept my job, but I didn`t want that. I think this was a heroic act on my part, because I published names and surnames of Palestinian children from Gaza on a Jewish network. As long as I live, I will consider this my greatest act – Rudan said, adding she felt like a victim due to the attack by the Jewish community.

- I feel like Ana Frank! – she said, shaken by the entire matter.

Although Nova TV network cancelled their collaboration, she is not afraid of being unemployed, because she has already received many business offers.

- A Croatian television network has offered me a job, guaranteeing that such a thing would not happen again – Rudan concluded, reiterating that all of this was hard on her.

Vedrana Rudan’s Statement is Pure Anti-Semitism
