Kim Yong-Judaea?

From the Jerusalem Post:

Egyptians must have been surprised on Tuesday when they opened their newspapers to read that 127 North Koreans had immigrated to Israel to join the IDF.

Mistranslating a Jerusalem Post story, Egypt’s state news agency MENA mistakenly wrote that 127 men and women from Kim Yong-un’s totalitarian dictatorship, ­ instead of from North America, ­ had landed at Ben-Gurion Airport.

Unnoticed, the erroneous report was picked up by Egypt’s dailies, including al-Masry al-Youm, Shorouk News, and al-Mashhad.
