Israel's Dutch Embassy complains to TV station over offensive 'Toy' parody

None

The Israeli Embassy in Holland submitted a formal complaint to a Dutch television station Tuesday that broadcast an offensive parody of Netta Barzilai's "Toy", which Jewish groups argued contained anti-Semitic overtones.

 

Performed by comedian Sanne Wallis de Vries in her new show, the version attacked Israel and implied that the US Embassy was opened in Jerusalem as a way of making more money.

 

The complaint was sent both to the Dutch Foreign Ministry and to a leading Jewish community organization.
