Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist Under Fire for Anti Jewish Cartoon

Discussion in 'Politics & Religion' started by muncle, Mar 26, 2009.

    Pat Oliphant, one of world’s most syndicated cartoonists is under fire by Jewish anti defamation league after his cartoon depicting a Jewish star with fangs and a headless soldier oppressing a Gaza woman was published by big mainstream media corporations like the Washington Post, Slate or Yahoo! News.

    In a statement released, ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman says: "Pat Oliphant's outlandish and offensive use of the Star of David in combination with Nazi-like imagery is hideously anti-Semitic. It employs Nazi imagery by portraying Israel as a jack-booted, goose-stepping headless apparition. The implication is of an Israeli policy without a head or a heart. Israel's defensive military operation to protect the lives of its men, women and children who are being continuously bombarded by Hamas rocket attacks has been turned on its head to show the victims as heartless, headless aggressors".

    Because of potentially offensive nature of the cartoon, it will not be posted here directly. If you wish to see it, visit Pat Oliphant Cartoon - Jewish Star of David with Fangs (pic)

    Based on past events, Arabs and Jews are equally not open-minded when someone talks negatively about their religion/country.

    I believe that religions should be respected, but when it comes to politics, complete freedom of speech and expression should be allowed.

    Peace,

    Its not Judaism thats killing. Its the zionists and nazis that are killing. And any attempt to point this out is labeled "anti-semitism". What is happening is that these war criminals and racists are hiding behind Judaism to protect themselves from the crimes.

    Sadly for them, the world is waking up, except the corporate-controlled media in the US. But the internet is quite liberating. And truth is getting out.

    what? are you joking? the "Jews" have only one state. Israel. the Arabs control over 12% of world land area.of course, the are more than us, they are the fastest growing religion (averge of 4.9 kids per family!!), but they have one thing that we dont have (and we dont want to have it) - the Quran. the Quran educates you to fight Jews and Christians, until they'll all die. and how many Jews are there? 13-15 million? what will happen when will be no more Jews? Christians are the next to come.
    and how do you want Israel will handle Gaza?
    we gave them (Gaza, not the West bank) independent. what do they want?! and let me remained you that Hamas are the biggest party, their people choose them.
    you can't sit and talk to terrorist! the only thing that can handle the terror is to destroy their weapon stocks.

    For the million time, Israel is not fighting the Palestinians,Israel is fighting Hamas. oh, a proof? Israel attacked only the Gaza strip, not the West bank.
