Israeli group announces anti-Semitic cartoons contest!
A Danish paper publishes a cartoon that mocks Muslims.
An Iranian paper responds with a Holocaust cartoons contest -
- Now a group of Israelis announce their own anti-Semitic cartoons contest!
Eyal Zusman (30, back from anonymity) and Amitai Sandy (29), graphic artist and publisher of Dimona Comix Publishing, from Tel-Aviv, Israel, have followed the unfolding of the “Muhammad cartoon-gate” events in amazement, until finally they came up with the right answer to all this insanity - and so they announced today the launch of a new anti-Semitic cartoons contest - this time drawn by Jews themselves!
“We’ll show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew hating cartoons ever published!” said Sandy “No Iranian will beat us on our home turf!”
The contest has been announced today on the www.boomka.org website, and the initiators accept submissions of cartoons, caricatures and short comic strips from people all over the world. The deadline is Sunday March 5, and the best works will be displayed in an Exhibition in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
Sandy is now in the process of arranging sponsorships of large organizations, and promises lucrative prizes for the winners, including of course the famous Matzo-bread baked with the blood of Christian children.

I hope this contest won’t get the Muslims worked up when once again they come out on the bottom. Thanx to their wonderful culture, they have the worse graphic and artistic sense of any culture.
February 14th, 2006 at 9:21 pm
I’m a Jew living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (USA).
I think it’s great that you guys are doing this. This shows the world yet another way that Jews are different from the Muzzies; we can make fun of ourselves.
We also don’t send our children to blow themselves up in pizza shops, but that’s another subject entirely.
I learned about your contest from fuckfrance.com. I won’t be submitting anything, but only because my ability to draw leaves quite a lot to be desired.
February 14th, 2006 at 10:07 pm
Ahhh, the smell of competition- aint it great. But, I must add that the muzzies are WAAAAAAYYYY ahead in the smell department!
February 14th, 2006 at 10:09 pm
This is a GREAT idea. All the self-hating tyoes will participate out of ignorance and naivete and those that ‘get it’ will laugh their ssses off!
February 14th, 2006 at 11:54 pm
With a great difference, this is the best response I saw in those danish graphics affair.
Greetings!!
February 15th, 2006 at 1:09 am
What a great idea!
We’ll see who can draw the best hook-nosed, goyim-child -eating Yid! True, the Arabs are good at it, and they’ve had a lot of practice, but I’m sure either a self-hating Jew, or maybe even an Aryan Nazi skinhead will blow them all away!
Good luck to all!
February 15th, 2006 at 1:17 am
This whole thing is one sorry affair, intellectual idiots against mobs.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:21 am
Well, I’m one of those muzzies you’re talking about, and I really think that this idea (with the reversed humor) might stop a massive chain reaction for a new “cold war”.
Cheers to you,
and peace brothers and sisters.
February 15th, 2006 at 3:00 am
Brilliant! Hope that takes the sting out of the whole silly business.
I mean, killing people over lines drawn on paper? How daft is that? So many months after they were published, too. Took a while for anyone to notice, didn’t it?
Best wishes and more power to your elbow!

I tried to enter the Iranian competition. Being Jewish I know i got the skillz to out-cartoon anyone, let alone someone drawing purely on hate.
This idea is brilliant. It ironicly highlights what is really important about life.
February 15th, 2006 at 5:08 am
Brilliant use of humour, a major ingredient that has been lacking in both original cartoons and responses. I’ll publicize this contest a lot!
February 15th, 2006 at 6:23 am
[…] Nun aber hat endlich jemand seinen Humor wiedergefunden. Amitai Sandy aus Isreal ruft zu einem antisemitistischen Karikaturen-Wettbewerb auf, als Reaktion auf den im Iran stattfindenden Holocaust-Karikaturen-Wettbewerb. Denn seiner Meinung nach könne niemand bessere antisemitische Karikaturen zeichnen, als die Juden selbst. Zitat: […]

This is an absolutely splendid idea. I know that my late Dad (who was a guest at one of Mr. Hitler’s resorts in Zemlin, Yugoslavia) would have approved most highly. His way of dealing with that experience was a wonderfully macabre, yet whimsical sense of humor. The absolutely least offensive example of which is as follows:
Shortly before his death, he and my Mom had lunch at a new, fairly upscale “nouvelle” restaurant. When the food was brought to their table, it consisted of small (but beautifully presented) portions on gigantic serving platters.
When the manager approached their table and unctiously enquired how they were enjoying their meal, Dad’s laconic response was, “We had bigger portions in the concentration camp”.
Mom said their server was doubled-over in silent laughter.
Another brief (and fairly tame) example is Dad’s claim that the camp had a snackbar; their best-seller was “Arbeit Macht Fries”. (Believe me, most of his camp “schtick” was *far* more potentially offensive than the above.)
Given my upbringing, your contest idea resonates very strongly with me and my family. I look forward to seeing the finalists’ work. (And hope that you understand why I’m using a pseudonym.)
Best of luck,

Picture the scene…
Three stereotypical Jews in stereotypical garb are at the store, obsessively going over the prices at the counter to insure they aren’t being cheated.
As they haggle with the clerk over one problematic item one of them looks at the other two and observes, “You know, if we were Scottish, this would be a virtue.”
February 15th, 2006 at 8:30 am
I CAN’T LISTEM TO EITHER OF YOU SCUM PONDS ANYMORE.
Oh well. I guess that’s the end of that discussion then.
Guys… your idea is seriously FUNNY! I wish I was Jewish so I could enter.
But then I’d have the whole “death to all Jews” thing hanging over my head… so maybe best not convert for the time being.

Speaking as blonde schiksa (not sure of spelling, but that’s what the girls from Long Island called me in college) Presbyterian, I love the cartoon idea. It’s like Christian denomination jokes. E.g., what’s the difference between a Methodist and a Baptist? The Methodist will say hello to you in the liquor store.

First thing I found funny in this bloody mess of Cartoon War, really.
But to keep up the guys here I wanna say something.
I think the best thing you can do to your enemies is to try to make ‘em laugh. An enemy who can laugh on your joke is someone whose purpose of killing can be turned off.
Hope you will make the headlines.

To be fair, self-deprecation has always been a part of Jewish humor, but the humor is only “funny” when Jews are telling the jokes. I’ll be curious to see how people feel when these jokes make the rounds and are no longer connected to the Jewish website or to the political statement.
February 15th, 2006 at 11:26 am

For cartoons about the cartoons, go to www.cagle.com/news/Muhammad/1 and then browse through about 20 pages, several cartoons to the page.
My personal favorite is on page 9. It features “The Big Fat Book of Offensive Religious Cartoons”. It was originally published in the Philadelphia Daily News.

I think that this is a great idea. Some might think it immature, but I think that it is a mature response to the glaring immaturiy of the Danish and the Muslim community.
God Bless Israel
February 15th, 2006 at 1:13 pm
I think the contest is very interesting. Jews are probably the best on earth at self-critical jokes. If a mohammedan did a islam-critical joke, he or she would probably be required to cut off their own head, for self-retribution!!!!!
A clarification, for anyone who in interested: The term “Anti-Semitism” was first propounded by Wilhelm Marr, a German, in 1879, to mean “hate of Jews,” not hate for arabs and Jews - only hate of Jews.

Dear Amitai and all the rest of the organizers…
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I am as proud as a cartoonist JEW can be. And a fierceful zionist. I was born, raised and live in Brasil.
When I read you reasons for your contest, I got really astonished and immediately started thinking about what pieces of work to submit.
It’s about time for the rest of the world to understand that Israel and the Jewish people are NOT the evil doers of this planet. And that although we are being freely attacked by brainless Iranians, we do not respond with violence or hatred. Laughter is free and good.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:46 pm
LEANDRO
YOU’VE BEEN ‘BRAZILIAN WAXED’ ONE TOO MANY TIMES. IRAN DOESNT GOT THE SCHEMECKELS TO REALLY ATTACK. ISRAEL IS GOING TO PRE-EMPT IRAN AND REALLY START THE MUSLIMS VS THE REST OF US WAR. WHICH IS BETTER THAN SITTING AROUND WATCHING FAT TEDDY DRUNK ON HIS ASS MAKE A FOOL OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT. THEN THE NUKES REALLY GET GOING. A BILLION GOAT HUMPERS LATER THE WORLD IS A MUCH NICER PLACE.
COOL FOR ME

February 15th, 2006 at 2:20 pm
This is a great idea and a good way to defuse some of tension. I would like to see fewer anti-arab comments in this messageboard - surely this is about jews laughing at ourselves? It’s not a chance to laugh at others.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:34 pm
So far this is the only intelligent idea I’ve seen come out of this cartoon mess. I’ve been writing about the whole cartoon fiasco as well on my blog and I’ve linked you. Laughter spoils a person’s aim. So let’s try to keep the world laughing too hard to use guns. Great job!
February 15th, 2006 at 3:32 pm
Delightful, although not something goyim like me would dare suggesting.
I’m just waiting for the big “Iran cartoon contest” although my favorite caricature of an Iranian… a big flat smoking pancake of smoking glass and radioactive dust… could be seen as insensitive.

February 15th, 2006 at 7:29 pm
This is such a great idea. It’s like David the Cartoonist against Golaith the terrort. The comedian kills ‘em dead with his humor. The cartoon should be in 5 small round panels. At least Goliath had the sense of humor to understand how ridiculous it was to be attacked by David. I wonder if his bemusement continued to the moment he died? Anyway, his sense of the ridiculous shows he had more humanity in him than these angst-laden terrorists. Thank God that he uses the ridiculous to oppose the proud. I can’t wait to see you results. You need to get an internet corporation to donate the bandwidth in the interest of world peace.
As the bumper sticker proverb states:
Visualize Swirled Peas!
February 15th, 2006 at 8:34 pm
Whether or not this is a really good idea, or a really bad one, one thing is sure. The cartoons are likely to be a LOT funnier than anything Arabia comes up with.
February 15th, 2006 at 8:44 pm
Great idea.
I wonder when we Scots will be able to laugh at ourselves?

This is the way! I hope world press will bother with your idea at least 1% as it did with Danish cartoons and fundamentalist muslim’s protests! I cross my fingers for you in my culture it means good luck !).
February 16th, 2006 at 2:28 am
Bravo from Paris France.
I heard of your initiative on France culture radio (state owned, good quality) this morning. I hope this idea will light up a few doubts and questions in the minds of the bigots and religious zealots.

February 16th, 2006 at 3:18 am
Be careful not to draw anything with a bomb … or a turban … or a desert … or a camel … since it would be misintepreted and cause your embassies to be burned. And for god’s sake don’t use colors!

Brilliant idea it has also worked for the Irish.
English man, Irish man, Welsh man and Scots man on a train it was St. David’s day.
Welsh man says “my son was born on this day and we called him David”
English man says “by Jove my son was born on Saint Georges day and we called him George,
Scots man says “that’s incredible my son was born on St Andrews day and we called him Andrew”.
Irish man says “be jaysus wait till I tell pancake”
Apologies to those people who do not have a pancake Tuesday in their calendar
February 16th, 2006 at 5:51 am
Hope my Irish joke has qualified me to tell a Jewish one (i.e. I can laugh at myself too and all that) anyway:
There is a Jewish lady on a beach with her small child, a huge wave come in and washes the child out to see. The lady falls on her knees and prays, “Please God bring back my BABY”
Another wave comes in an gently places the child next to her feet and the lady shouts:
“He was wearing a HAT!”
February 16th, 2006 at 6:35 am
This item was on the news here in Holland.
Good thinking this cartoon contest. It is the right answer to all this muslim-cartoon insanity!!!!
February 16th, 2006 at 6:37 am
Yeah. Now that is a problem. The contest is a great idea as means to prove we can laugh of ourselves. But is no response to what’s happening out there.
I was born and raised jew and I love my people. I don’t approve the muslims reaction, but I can see where it comes from.
On Holocaust, on anti-semitism we are the victims (and to be honest, they are as well, since they are so semite as we are). Now, on the Danish cartoons they are the offender. Maybe if you start a contest for cartoons about Mossad torturing prisioners or Jews ruling the media, the banks, the whole wide world, then you might be talking the same level.
Although I still like the idea of the anti-semitic cartoons contest, I can’t believe is the right response (or any response at all) to current events.
Anyway, good luck to the contesters and congrats to holders.
February 16th, 2006 at 6:45 am

February 16th, 2006 at 6:58 am
Well done. I hope someone offers a similar Christian’s draw anti-Christian cartoons contest. Now, will the any of the contestants incorporate Muhammad into their cartoons? That would be a very interesting twist.
February 16th, 2006 at 7:36 am
I skimmed a bunch of the comments, so maybe someone has already mentioned this idea.
Why not have a special contest for the Un-chosen Peoples? Christians, Muslims, atheists, etc, etc could enter that one.
Kind of like the Special Olympics.
Maybe one contest for each disability. One for Christians, one for Muslims…
February 16th, 2006 at 7:41 am
Hi, don’t you think that it might be a sort of a boomerang? I can imagine neo-nazi groups spreading the images on their sites and papers, telling that what they’re doing is just to give to the publc the possibility to see waht the jews temselves thinks about the Shoah.
I’m simpathetic toward all the people who suffered during those horrible years, and for this reason you have my support.
I think that maybe could be nice if you can allow the other vivtims of the holocaust to participate, like the gay and the tzigans.
Keep up the good work, and don’t allow that few racist ruin your funny but deeply political initiative.

I heard this joke in Germany somewhere, thought you’d appreciate it:
So a jew walks into a bar, and sits next to a fulminating Korean chap.
The jew orders a maneschewitz, sees the Korean, and punches him in the face.
‘That was for Pearl Harbor!’
‘but I’m KOREAN!’
‘Korean, Japanese… what’s the difference?’
The jew turns to his drink as the Korean brushes himself off. A moment later, the Korean blindsides the jew.
‘That was for the Titanic, you murderer!’
‘But an ICEBERG sunk the Titanic!!!’
‘Iceberg, Goldberg… what’s the difference?’
BTW you guys, thanks for spreading the hope.

I was happy to read about your wonderfull contest against gaddamned Joooooooooooooz. All my brothers and sisters were happy to listem to me when I told them that my brother from Israel fights against Jooooooz. Thank you!!!
We are opressed by Zionism, Imperialism. Jooooooz dominate the World. They use ZOG to opress us, poor. poor people. Mustafa al-Jahhd, a history teacher from my school told me that we are opressed by Joooooz for 15 millions years. We do not have stone axes, missiles, arrows and sparrows, machine guns and helicopters. They have everything. Poor, poor we
The only way to fight against Jooooooz is to draw wonderful pictures again them

GREAT IDEA!!!!
A soft, intelligent and elegant response to those who remain buried in the middle age darkness and want the world to follow them into their stupidiness.
It shows them you jews don’t play the game of stupid idiots like that launched by the iaranian newspaper.
Best wishes.

You are following the good advice given in the book “Freakonomics” (freakonomics.com). There the author describes how turning men wearing sheets into objects of humor and ridicule was an effective way to reverse the ascendancy of the Klan.
You are doing the same with the absurd and dangerous extremism coming from many in the Muslim world today.
February 16th, 2006 at 12:40 pm

Los crimeres y torturas horripilantes que el servicio secreto Israelí , Mossad hacer al pueblo palestino son peores que los que cometió el nazismo, de un pueblo de solamente 3 millones de habitantes mas de 50 mil han sido encarcelados, mas de 8000 permancecen torturados en las carceles de Israel sin proceso, ademas de que les han sacado sus tierras y los han condenado al exilio. Dentro de algunos decenas o quiza centenas de años al pueblo judio se lo recordará como el peor , al mas sanguinario de todos, el que desencadenó el holocausto con bombas atomicas que va a tirar proximamente sobre los paises árabes. Por que se critica a Iran si el pero arsenal nuclear lo tiene Israel que ni siquiera suscribió el tratado de no proliferación nuclear y nunca dejo que la AIEA visitara sus plantas de armas nucleares. Marx ( judio ) tenía razon cuando decía que el problema del sinoismo desaparecía una vez que se integraran todos los judios del mundo a las culturas y paises que pertenecian o acaso hay que darles tierras a los gitanos, porque entonces los EEUU no le dan una superficie igual a la que perdieron al pueblo palestino.
Espero que la censura no suprima mi pensamiento.

February 16th, 2006 at 2:48 pm
So if I understand well, it doesn’t matter what people draw, but to which site you send it (to Israel OR Iran contest). Well, I will send it to you, Amitai. But Amitai, why you only ask Jews to join? What is a jew and what is not a jew(-descent)?
Do you know Rob Muntz from Holland? He’s from the VPRO (a free thinking broadcast) and he was the first here to make jokes of the Holocaust. But was called the next day for a harsh confrontation with his collegues. He said he felt like in the Neurenberg trial.
I see no real jokes on this site. Do the people have walk it thin through the trouwsers?
Joke:
Why did the nazi’s kill themselves?
Because they got presentated the gas-bills.
Is this for example good enough to send in?

Dear Amitai,
I just read about you and your contest in a major newspaper here in Brazil. As a political cartoonist making Palestine/Israel related cartoons since 1999 (when I visited West Bank), I see your decision as an act of courage. I congratulate you for this. Probably you will make enemies among those who are profiting from the Holocaust (I suggest the reading of “The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering” by Norman G. Finkelstein) but I’m sure you’ll gain the respect of many (myself included). Even being called “Anti-Semitic” for long time by right-wing Jewish, I don’t plan to make any image offensive to Jewish religion and race. However, I hope your contest can produce a healthy discussion on respect and tolerance towards other beliefs.
Best regards from your Brazilian brother-in-arts,
Latuff

[…] Via Balloon Juice, the ideal response to Iran’s Holocaust denial comic contest: Amitai Sandy (29), graphic artist and publisher of Dimona Comix Publishing, from Tel-Aviv, Israel, has followed the unfolding of the “Muhammad cartoon-gate” events in amazement, until finally he came up with the right answer to all this insanity – and so he announced today the launch of a new anti-Semitic cartoons contest – this time drawn by Jews themselves! […]
February 16th, 2006 at 5:06 pm
I recall a cartoon I saw years ago, shortly after the Entebbe raid:
The Red Sea is parted, and the Israelites are high-tailing it across the sea bed towards Sinai. On the shore stand two Egyptians watching. One says to the other “The Jews are good at these get-away operations, aren’t they?”
February 16th, 2006 at 5:47 pm
I’ve been puzzled (and upset) by all this cartoon-gate plus Zhirinovsky-type Ahmadinajat’s statements (you might not be aware that when the leader of the Communist Party Zhirinovsky was promoting himself as a President of Russia vs Yeltsin he promised to “take back Finland.” Sounds familiar, ha?
But what’s a brilliant response! Chapeau! - as the French would say. This idea could come only to a Jewish mind
Reminds me of the book “Jewish anecdotes” published by the Russian Jewish humorists in NY (unforturnatelly in Russian).
“Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.” - Charlie Chaplin
February 16th, 2006 at 5:50 pm
I almost cried, I laughed so hard when I heard this idea.
February 16th, 2006 at 5:57 pm
I wont to draw attention of everybody to a very subtle detail on this site (yes, another kudos to the intelligence of the participants) - obvious insults are simply ignored and thus stop right there. If you ever venture to any Lebanese (for example) discussion group - you’ll witness the series of indecent insults between the Christians and the Muslims resulting in even more anemocity. One more time: well done!
February 16th, 2006 at 6:40 pm
The problem with this contest is that the Danish cartoons with 2 exceptions are totally neutral. The 2 that are satirical are based on actual faults of Islamic radicals. What is this contest going to depict Jews makig good deals in the market place?? Defending themselves against attack?? As an american Jew I don’t hear anything coming out of the Israeli right which would be the only legitimate source of similar cartoons. Has the head Rabbi of Tel Aviv called for the executionof Infidel children??? you can post all the blood filled matzoh cartoons but they are a lie, maybe chocholate covered matzoh with the caption The bread of affliction”?? doesn’t have the same ring does it. This contest misses the point.
February 16th, 2006 at 7:14 pm
Estimados Sres. Boomka:
Sinceramente pienso que esta es otra estratagema más del judaismo como grupo social. El hecho de llevar a cabo este concurso y que los judíos no reaccionen es solo para desacreditar a los musulmanes.
Les digo que si no hubieran surgido las caricaturas antimusulmanas, y a alguna persona se le hubiese ocurrido hacer caricaturas poniendo en ridículo a LOS JUDIOS Y SUS COSTUMBRES Y/O CIVILIZACIÓN JUDÍA, en verdad hoy los judios estarían pidiendo la cabeza de quien hubiese osado llevar a cabo tal “afrenta”.
Yo creo que ambos, judios y musulmanes son harto intolerantes, pero LOS JUDIOS SON MÁS INTELIGENTES a la hora de sacar ventaja a hechos de discriminación.
Por ejemplo, cualquier terrorista judio puede decir “mueran los musulmanes” “mueran los crisitanos” o cualquier otro epíteto ofensivo y NADIE EN EL MUNDO LO VA A TILDAR DE DISCRIMINADOR. Pero basta que un no-judio diga “mueran los judio” para que todo el mundo le hachaque un comportamiento monstruoso.
En definitiva, esta no es más que otro movimiento en el gran tablero de ajedréz judio-musulman (donde porsupuesto, los judios son los “buenos” y los musulmanes son los “malos”).
En mi personal opinión digo que ambos (judios y musulmanes) son iguales de monstruosos y discriminadores e irrespetuosos de toda cosa que no pertenezca a su propia cultura. Creo que ambos son lo más intolerante del mundo occidental.

you jews are so retarded. what the fuck are you doing putting up another contest… iran did it, that doesnt mean it’s the right thing to do it. You guys should act like human beings and take it like a man. MAN? what am i saying, you jews were hiding behind Americans your whole entire lives, generation after generation of pussies with big mouths. always hiding under your fashionable little hats.
My point here is, you guys dont think and do something, you juss do it and when you fuck up, US will clean it right up for you.
fuck u jews and death to america…

It’s not about religion. No one fuckinng cares what god you worship. It’s about the oil and money and driving SUV’s, getting government contracts, making billions of dollars so you can retire to a small ranch in Texas. In the US, we wear our religion on our sleeves but it is just a shield against judgment, that we really only care about money.
February 16th, 2006 at 10:19 pm
I am Dileep a Roman Catholic living in India.
It is indeed glad that jews are tolerent. Your idea of these cartoons should be congradulated.
After all, even after the holocust you dont hate germens or christians and you have left it as just history. This is what muslims can never understand.
February 16th, 2006 at 11:13 pm
Aww, brilliant. Awesome. Perfect. I heard about it on (American) National Public Radio. You guys take it away. You guys win. I cannot remember the last time I heard about something with this much class.
You are humanity at its best.
February 16th, 2006 at 11:50 pm
Well… I dunno what to say, really. My jewish friend thinks this is hilarious and wants to borrow my (somewhat lacking) art skills to make an entry. I’m mildly uncomfortable seeing as how I’m not jewish myself. This may or may not be the correct response to the whole affair, but since everything else has already been shot to hell… what the heck.
What bothers me most is this. Some of you guys/girls? think muslims “smell” worse or are the immature ones in this mess, but when you start saying things like that… just look in the mirror and ask yourself if you’re any better than what you perceive them to be. Think about it.
February 17th, 2006 at 1:22 am
A (Reinel Cardona). Lo que es justo para uno es justo para todos. Es cierto que los judios pasaron muchos problemas a lo largo de los años, pero si se les dio una tierra quitandosela a otros, entonces es justo que a esos que quedaron sin tierra se les establesca una tambien.
No pertenesco ni a la religion judia ni la musulmana, pero creo que las caricaturas publicadas por los daneses fueron una gran falta de respeto hacia una religion que ellos niciquiera conocen ni saben en que se basa.
Estados Unidos quiere seguir en irak el mayor tiempo posible sacando todo el petroleo que puedan, y si es posible inventaran alguna otra tonta razon para invadir iran y sacar mas petroleo, supuestamente invadieron irak porque las armas nucleares que poseia eran un peligro, y hasta el dia de hoy no se ha encontrado ningun arma de destruccion masiva en irak. Ellos torturan y asesinan cobardemente a los inocentes presos iraquies, pero si sale un video donde decapitan a un estadounidense, entonces hacen huelgas y protestas en todo USA y el presidente sale en television condenando la muerte de 1 solo estadounidense, y donde quedan todos los musulmanes inocentes que han muerto y seguiran muriendo por las tontas guerras de estados unidos?
February 17th, 2006 at 1:49 am

Dear Amitai,
Yours is probably the first sensible reaction to the entire cartoonaffair.
I would love to see your initiative to be followed by all religions and atheists in the world.The only way to earn respect in my opinion is by not demanding it.
May this be the beginning of the end of hate wich is spread mostly by muslims in the name of a so-called merciful god.Hopefully they will someday understand that the freedom of speech is particulary in their best interest since there is practically none in the arabic countries.
May peace be with all of us.

A reply to Damien’s comment earlier:
You have a point certainly. However as you can tell this site is not sensored and any fucking idiot can put their point in the comments section. That includes anyone calling muslims ’smelly’ or other derogatory comments and the lovely comments of mr ’stupid jewish faggots’ man. It certainly isn’t the opinion of the majority nor of the person who started the competition. You only need to listen to his interview on http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5219479 to realise that.
More to the point, I think this is an absolutely fan-fucking-tastic idea and i am now desperately trying to think up an idea for my own cartoon.

I’m a Jew and I *love* the idea, it’s absolutely the best response that could be imagined. Never wished so much that I was an illustrator, I’ve got a pretty good idea but I’m sure people with the requisite skills will come up with wonderful stuff. And maybe once the point is made and we’ve all had a few laughs we can all, no matter what creed, race, etc., just calm down and do our jobs and raise our families and just have good, peaceful lives. And maybe talk out conflicts instead of going nuts about them. Nothing to it but to do it.
P.S. Many of you hate-spewers need to work on your grammar, spelling, syntax, vocabulary, etc. Just a suggestion.
February 17th, 2006 at 9:24 am
AWESOME! I heard “Fresh Air” and I couldn’t believe anyone could be so cool. Hey - you got 143 comments today and are attracting trolls - it MUST be working! I should have married that hot Jew I dated in college so that I could enter the contest… sigh… come back Marc Bernstein all is forgiven…

Amitai must watch out.
If the cartoons are not extreme enough, then “Iran” wins this contest. If the cartoons are too harsh, then the victims of the holocaust are atacked.
So Roger Arango is right when he says: “Great idea–always beware a group who lacks a sense of humor–they are the truly dangerous ones! If humor cannot carry the day, we are all doomed”.
February 17th, 2006 at 9:57 am
Listen i just want to know one thing. Why did the denmark newspaper even start the cartoons which offended muslims. Are they that stupid that they took the freedom of speech thing and they got carried away. Now cause of them they caused a whole lot of trouble.

To Usman & “Stupid Jewish Faggots”: It is forbidden to publish and spread cartoons of Mohammed. But it was a Danish religious IMAM who spread and published it all over Middle East. Now he is seen as the hero by Hamas, Iran etc. Isn’t it paradox? Is it now forbidden to publish it, or are you the hero when you do it?
By the way, nowhere in the Quran is said that Mohammed is forbidden to get painted.
Secondly, the Kuran says it is forbidden to use violance. So if the so called muslims blow up trains, then they themselves are the pagans, and the people in the train are the religious.
An Italian fashion designer called back all his clothes cause there was a painting of a mosque in it. He wanted to avoid trouble with muslims so he decided to clean this painting out of it.
Now you never know if some muslim-clan sees this cleaning as an insult to muslims. They can put themselves in their head that it is forbidden to cut muslim-symbols for beiing muslim-symbols.
You see that the world sometimes cannot understand all these paradox ideas? I like the Quran, but not what some people make of it.

Oy, that *is* some chutzpah. As about 1/3 of my friends from college are Jewish, the majority with wonderfully sick senses of humor, I can see this being a success.
Channeling them, I’ve already got a few horrible ideas that, ironically, would get me thrown out of my temporary home (Bavaria, Germany) if I were to carry them out, print them up and distribute them. I feel like I’m entitled, nay, obligated, to say awful things about Southerners, Southern Baptists, and W, even though he’s not really a Texan, but we helped him get where he is (sorry, y’all…)
One of said Jewish friends visited me over here this winter. Her mother advised her against wearing her Star of David, for safety. She decided against it because she didn’t want people constantly telling her how sorry they were for what their grandparents and great-grandparents did or giving her other special treatment.
Good luck (I guess…) with your contest. Don’t know if I’d be able to bring myself to see the winning entries, knowing what my friends would be able to come up with.

Protestant says: My son became a rich businessman and he loves me so much he buys me a dinner out every week.

Brilliant! You have my vote for a Nobel Peace Prize! You’ve thought of a wonderful plan to fight violence with self-deprecation and humor. I had hoped that, to foil this wave of anger and violence, newspapers around the world would agree to publish those Danish cartoons, perhaps all on the same day. But it appears that this will not happen. Shame on the newspapers. It’s an inspiration to see a single person take such a serious matter into his own hands, and delightful to know that the world is watching and participating.

Hi: I’m Canadian of Chinese in origin living in Canada. Just want to tell you guys that Chinese have been making fun of themselves for centuries. When I came to Canada, I heard quite a few jokes from my Canadian friends about Chinese people. They are really hilarious although they can’t be repeated in writing. All my Chinese friends never felt offended. The problem with Muslims is they always carry a chip on their shoulders about their religion and they think their religion is superior to anyone else’s. I would like to enter your contest but I’m clumsy with my hands. I can’t even hang pictures on a wall properly. But I do look forward to those cartoons you are going to publish. By the way, I visited Israel with a Jewish friend from Canada to attend the International Artur Rubinstein Piano competition a dozen years ago. I had a great time and made many friends with Israelis with whom I’m still in contact today. Have a nice day!

A brilliant idea! And so brilliantly Jewish! What Muslim would dream up such a thing? It’s wonderfully ironic, though, that as Shi’ite Muslims, Iranians (the sponsors of the embarrassingly unfunny Holocaust-cartoon competition) are regarded by wacko Sunni Muslims as… the Jews of the Islamic world! See www.islamicthinkers.com, for example.
February 18th, 2006 at 4:06 am
P.S. I should say that anti-Semitism, being racially based, is not comparable to mockery of Islam, belief in whose tenets is a personal choice. However, Islam does seem to act as a stifler of creativity, wit and enterprise on all the cultures it has conquered. And sadly on the brains of most individuals who adhere to the medieval / wahhabi interpretation of it.

i am a non jew from holland end i was reading your idea to make funny cartoons about jews, to be honest i think this a smart, funny way to deal whit this blownup reaction about a vieuw cartoons,i think the reactions that came from a vieuw cartoons is out of proportion, to crazy for words what happens whit the world end that all about a vieuw funny cartoons!!!!!!!! end your right for sure they will make cartoons about jews, so what is more smarter than do it yourself,if you do it yourself you show that you are standing above the crazy reactions, that you are more smarter, that you have more humor end that you have more sence for a real human world end you deserve a 10+ for this non violent reaction,because if you can not make fun of yourself, you will never have a smile on your face, that count for you as a jew, for me as someone whitout a religion end also for a moslim, end the can never hurt you on that way exellent!!!!! i whis that there where more smart people like you, than the world would be a more nicer place to be, because religion, color of the skin, or where someone is coming from is not importend, its the heart that counts.

If I could draw, I’d jump on this in a second. Maybe I can enlist the help of a few artist friends…
How many J.A.P.s does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Two: one to call daddy and the other to hold her diet coke.
How many Orthodox jews does it take to change a light bulb?
CHANGE?!
and finally…
A jewish man and a chinese woman were going into the food business together. Their restaurant’s name?

May the rimshots resound and may we never lose faith.
February 18th, 2006 at 3:03 pm
What a great idea! I hope the news of this gets around the world. Besides, if you can’t make fun of yourself, who can? I’ll be back to check the jokes out in the comment, believe me, I could use the humor.
And Mark, that last one is a classic!
February 18th, 2006 at 3:47 pm
Why did you remove my comment? . no toilet humour?
I’m telling you again-it’s no joke that there’s a second Hitler threatening us.
If your humour is any good ‘then use it for the benefit of Israel, not to perpetuate dangerous negative stereotypes.

[…] After the Danish cartoons blew up, an Iranian paper vindictively responded by issuing a Holocaust cartoon contest (to get back at all those Danish Jews, naturally).� So, how did Israel take it?� Brilliantly.� A local Jewish group has just anounced its own anti-Semitic cartoon contest.� Both Jews and non-Jews are encouraged to contribute. To quote Amitai Sandy, one of the group’s creators: We’ll show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew hating cartoons ever published… No Iranian will beat us on our home turf! […]
February 18th, 2006 at 8:39 pm
I think that it was VERY wrong for the Danish newspaper to publish such disrespectful cartoons, and this new idea that the world has about Muslims is totally wrong. People now think that they can walk all over Muslims. The Prime minister of Denmark refused to apologize to the Muslim society over the cartoon, and a stupid Grade 12 in Halifax printed the same cartoon and he REFUSED to apologize. Like what the hell. You made a mistake so apologize, it’s that simple. Once we get an apology all the rioters will stop the violence.
February 18th, 2006 at 9:47 pm
Concerned Muslim Says: Once we get an apology all the rioters will stop the violence.
Riiiiight. It’s okay when arabs print anti-semitic cartoons about Jews daily in their press (100’s per year if not more), but 12 cartoons about Mohammed in a Danish paper send you off into a violent frenzy. Oh, and then you don’t respond with anti-Danish cartoon, but go right after the Jews (a favorite target in the Muslim world).
The funniest part about it is that the Muslim world’s reaction only seems childish in the eyes of civilized people. Not to mention, we’ll only produce more. The Web has been filled with tons more cartoons and graphics mocking Muslims since the infantile display of the Muslim world.
So, if we apologize you’ll stop the rioting, burning, killing, and knee-jerk anti-semitism?
Here, kiss this:

Who the hell do you think you are you stupid jewish faggot. Ofcoarse muslim people hate jewish people why da fuck do you think we have been killing you weak idiots. You a stupid jewish faggot that does not think before saying something. How would you feel if i made a cartoon of your god david and made him look like a fuckin asshole. HUNH?!

HITLERS MY HERO FOR KILLING ALL THOSE JEWISH FAGGOTS!!!!
February 19th, 2006 at 1:31 am
Typical! When they realise anti-Jewish cartoons might be valuable, the Jews try to grab them all!
February 19th, 2006 at 1:37 am
Many apparently reasonable people are saying that free speech should be restrained from the area of religion, in order to avoid “hurting anyone’s feelings”.
To them I say: I have a religion of my own. I firmly believe that the Earth is flat!
Phrases such as ’round the world’ hurt my feelings. Do not say these things.
Also, search all of your books and destroy all hurtful images of the so-called “globe” or “planet Earth”. Thank you.
February 19th, 2006 at 3:12 am
In my opinion, the Danish cartoons lacked humor and were therefore just grieving, but then - they were not printed in the Muslim world. Apologies? No. Because of the freedom of speech and because this would force Muslims to apologize to the jews about their regular cartoons on this topic, otherwise, it would not be fair, would it? The cartoons drawn in response, were equally humorless and this contest is actually the first funny thing.
Results? Very recent research among Dutch has shown that 55% of the Dutch think that Islam lacks humor. 40% think that the Islam is rather violent than peaceful. Illustrative is this website: while using humor to defeat opponents, there’s no violence here, except from the anti-entries (fuck… kill…).
So… the Islam may require more sensible persons like Muzzy (one of the first entries) and a Jewish PR director.
February 19th, 2006 at 5:40 am
Usman says: “ok Jesus is here, what if i was to draw a picture of jesus and have a bomb in his beard. What would you think?
I would think some muslim would have trown it in hahaha.
No just joking. A bomb in Jesus’ beard? Is that all? You must see what jokes there are made about Jesus and Christianity here in Holland after the empyiing of churches.
I see that Holland has the most posts here on this site(incl me). How comes?
@Zandperl: Half-jews, even non-jews can join in this contest (see for example posting 18feb 5:53pm). I myself are not a jew, but my mother’s mother had a name of jewish descent, and my family says I have her humor.
Also notice that a real anti-semitic strategy is dangerous, whether it be made by jews or non-jews. I even think fully non-jews are underdeveloped in this. So it doesn’t even matter if funny intented anti-semitic cartoons are made jews or non-jews.
February 19th, 2006 at 6:32 am
this is the best initiative i have seen in years! show the world humour and love is all.
February 19th, 2006 at 8:12 am
First, mine is not a political entry so those with no critical minds (i.e. Concerned Muslim and The Fagotts & Co.) should not be reading it because 1) they don’t know the history; 2) they have no sense of humor; 3) they can only reply with a combination of fuck and kill (not so many combinations even), which are not enough to express a meaningful thought.
Second, it is true, Quran does not forbids depiction of Mohammad, neither images as some try to say. It’s only forbids idolatry (asnab). The so-called Traditions (sayings of Mohammed and his companions) are largely apochrypal and warn aganinst images of living beings (those who have souls, like animals) on two occasions for the reason that “only god can instill souls into beings.” So the punishment for doing this is just being asked to instill life into your pictures on the Judgement Day (note: not burning the embassies). If you cant - you’ll be humiliated but will not go to hell. Anybody afraid of that?
Thurd, what you see here (ie in the violent reactions) is nothing “medieval” - during the classical period 9-13th centuries, the Muslims were the most progressive people (while Europe was in dark ages), had Academy of Science (Beit AL-Hikma) in Baghdad and Al-Andalus and prospered in all possible ways But then they started spending too much on luxury and too little on re-investment in productivity improvement - and here we see the poor results.
Finally, the Jews would be amused to know that in the beginning of his religious career Mohammed was expelled by his clan from Mekka for his “heretical” anti-idolatry speeches and run away. Where did he go? Who did give him asylum? Of course the Jews in a town Yathrib, which is now known as Medina. What did he do later for their kindness? Pushed by his followers he asked the Jews and Christians to pay a tax for not being Muslims. He was much smarter than his current followers - why kill when you can benefit?
If only people read more history…

Arabs have lost the gene that allows them to think one step ahead in the last 1400 years of their evolution. I’m sure they have no idea what to make of this contest, they just think that if Jews are participating in it, it must be bad for them.
February 19th, 2006 at 10:38 am
As you told we could make anti-semitic jokes in the comments, here is one (I used to go out with a Jewish man. I am a sympathizer):
SHIT HAPPENS (or life according to each religion):
* Taoism: Shit happens.
* Confucianism: Confucius say, “Shit happens.”
* Buddhism: If shit happens, it isn’t really shit.
* Hinduism: This shit has happened before.
* Islam: If shit happens, it is the will of God.
* Catholicism: If shit happens, you deserve it.
* Judaism: Why does this shit always happen to us?
And a second:
You know that Michelin star system for hotels?
What is the best hotel in the world?

February 19th, 2006 at 11:35 am
Savante are you dumb. I know a lot about my religeon, and most of the facts you listed in your comments are totally wrong about the Qur’an, and Muhammed (s.a.w.). Don’t speak about it if you don’t know what your talking about. Second I have a very good sense of humor, it’s just these cartoons were racist and un-called for. They were a direct attack to the muslim world. I don’t know who you are but I think YOU need to get your facts straight.
February 19th, 2006 at 11:35 am
I think you guys are brilliant. It’s the cleverest outflanking move of all, ridiculing them by joining in with them.
Thank you. You’ve made me smile!
February 19th, 2006 at 11:42 am
Ok……
February 19th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
To Concerned Muslim: I didn’t expect anything less. Just confirms the obvious. Why dont you name YOUR facts and your SOURCES. Otherwise, your arguments are just a pathetic rhetoric.
February 19th, 2006 at 12:12 pm
Hey The Concered: why dont you tell all of us the exact sura & ayat in the Qur’an which forbids the depiction of Muhammad or images in general (beyond the asnab that I’ve mentioned)? So we all can go and check YOUR sources in any public library.
February 19th, 2006 at 12:12 pm
I’ve read the Qur’an many times. I know where you headed but your not going in the right direction. My one source is the Qur’an.

I don’t have time to hunt down the EXACT surah and ayath. Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w.) was and is a holy figure in the Muslim religon. He was our last Prophet of course it’s haram for anyone to poke fun at him.
February 19th, 2006 at 2:12 pm
Of course!
February 19th, 2006 at 2:38 pm
Ok.

February 20th, 2006 at 3:37 am
This is a brilliant idea. One day I hope we in the Arab world are able to see the humour (!) of our actions. Also, we are NOT anti-Semites, we ARE Semites. I’ve been to visit Sunangogues in Islamic countries (Egypt, Turkey, Bahrain) and they are being looked after properly as they should be. Please do not judge a billion people by the actions of a few hundred terrorists are retards. Just like we won’t be judging non-Nazi Germans for the Holocaust.
February 20th, 2006 at 7:04 am
To Concerned Muslim,
Muslims learn by heart the Qur’an in madressas. So, I find really strange you are not able to give the sura and the ayat. How many ajza did your learn? Do you know what a juz is?
There is no forbidding in the Qur’an about showing Muhammad’s face. This is in the Sunna. It is only a matter of Sunnite Muslim as Chiites don’t have this forbiding and have regularly shown pictures of the prophet.
February 20th, 2006 at 7:20 am
This is awesome! Jew have been fighting evil with humor for many generations. I’m looking forward to the final results and am sure the Iranian cartoons will pale in comparison.
February 20th, 2006 at 8:10 am
To Sultan: you’re absolutely right in not judging everybody by looking at the outliiers. But I have a question: where did you find a synagogue in Bahrain? They did not have one 5 years ago, so did they build one and where?
To Michelle: no need to push the guy: he cant give you a sura/ayat simply because there is NO one (as you correctly said) prohibiting depiction. See my explanation early on. Also, not ALL muslims learn Qur’an by heart, only those who want to.
February 20th, 2006 at 8:25 am
To Savante:
In many muslim countries, madressas are the only places (or almost) for ordinary people to get some education as it cost nothing or almost nothing. The basic course is learning the Qur’an by heart. So, it is a matter of choice only in countries where muslims are a minority or must go to an alternate non-religious based school system.

Hey I want to mention this is a semitic/anti-semitic whatever site, but we are strangly more & more debating about Muslims/Quran/Mohammed etc.
I see it on a lot of sites, it doesn’t matter how debates start, it is always pulled into discussions about Mohammedian after some time.
February 20th, 2006 at 11:47 am
Two iranian cartoonist are trying to think on an antisemitic cartoon. They want to create something really new. They have read the “Protocols of the Elder of Sion”, they have read “Mein Kampf”, they have read material delivered by the HAMAS…
But they have not any idea about anything new, they just cannot stop thinking about “Money”, “Blood of young children”…
The deadline is aproaching, and Abdullah says: “Ok, Mahmoud, I had an idea…”
And Mahmoud asks: “What, tell me, tell me for Mahoma sake!!”
Then Abdullah say: “Let´s draw the…”.
Sorry, there is no space for the end of this joke, so, if you want it, just write me an email.

February 20th, 2006 at 2:16 pm
Why don’t you send all the drawings to the Iranian contest ? There’s a lot of money to win !
February 20th, 2006 at 2:40 pm
Concerned Muslim. I am a jewish guy in London. Over the years, jews have suffered a huge amount of hatred and persecution. One thing that we have learnt is to laugh about it. We have also learnt that what is holy to one person is not holy to another. I love my God, but I don’t expect anyone else to love him or respect him. If people want to mock my God, let them.
It’s fine to stand up for yourself and your religion, but lashing out just hurts you and your community. In Nigeria, 16 innocent Christian were burnt to death by an angry mob of Muslims; they had nothing to do with the cartoons but the mob didn’t care. They were angry and justed wanted to find a non-Muslim to punish for their anger. Similarly, one person on this board (who may or may not be jewish) posted a link to a picture you disliked. Your response: to insult and threaten ALL jews. To call all jews “faggots” and wish death upon all of us. If you are angry, lash out at the person who posted the link. Don’t start spreading hatred about a lot of people that you have never met. Muslims often claim that it is unfair that the whole of the Muslim community is blamed for suicide bombers, but you are happy to blame all jews for the actions of one person, who may not even be jewish.
February 20th, 2006 at 3:56 pm
I totally agree with you. I don’t think all of the violance is right either. The post after that link was not mine, remember anyone can leave a message under any name, so that was not me. It’s very hard to laugh about it because he was our last prophet and was and is highly respected.
February 20th, 2006 at 4:21 pm
Ok. I guess someone was trying to make you look bad. I think that the problem is that in the west we are used to mocking important figures, whether they are film stars, politicians or religious figures. We do this for a number of reasons; one of the reasons is that important figures are often used for the wrong reasons - used to incite hatred or violence. For example, Jesus was a man of peace, but many Christians killed Muslims in the crusades in the name of Jesus. Similarly, many Muslims are encouraged to kill innocent people in the name of Mohammed, which is wrong. We all know that it says in the Koran that murder is a sin, but it doesn’t stop fundamentalists using Mohammed or Allah as a figurehead for terrorists. So, we learn to mock important figures, be they Jesus, Moses or Mohammed. We stop these figures from being dangerous by laughing at them. You see it every day in politics. A lot of people feel very threatened by George Bush, but they know they can’t do anything to stop him, so they ridicule him. They draw cartoons and make stupid masks and laugh at him. And I’m sure there are some far-right American patriots who would like to make it illegal to make fun of the President, but fortunately for us, they don’t have the power.
I must say that I am curious about the Muslim stance on Mohammed, because for me, faith is a personal thing. I see many Muslims saying that they love Mohammed more than their family. For me, I love my family and friends much more than any religious figure, and I find it really hard to imagine loving an abstract religious guy more than my family. My attitude has always been that it is more important to take care of people here and now, in this life, and let God worry about religious figures. I’ve always assumed that God was proud enough and wise enough to be able to take a joke.
I think that the jews have such a history of persecution that we have learnt that you cannot fight everyone who disagrees with us or insults us. Every day on television I see protesters burning the Israeli flag (their prerogative) which contains the Star of David, the symbol of judaism in it. It insults me, but what am I going to do? It’s their right to burn flags if they want to. If they want to insult my religion, then let them. I am not going to demand or expect an apology because it isn’t going to happen. Every week there are anti-semitic cartoons in the arab press. They are very offensive, but what can you do? If the Muslim world wants to mock jews, let them. We cannot fight and kill people simply because we disagree with their views on our religion.
February 20th, 2006 at 4:34 pm
The idea for Jews to draw their own anti-semitic cartoons is, as everyone has pointed out already, a wonderful response to the Iranian silliness. The idea that Jews enter the Iranian contest is even better. If a Jew could win the contest, that would be the best of all. What I really like about this string of comments, though, is that the neo-Nazis, skinheads and other haters are pretty much ignored when they post some of their illiterate tripe. Thanks, you have made my day.

February 21st, 2006 at 4:03 am
I read people are feared that neo-nazi’s are using the pictures of this contest. But what’s the fear? Besides, in Austria & Germany they know it’s illegal to publish (most of) it, just bacause people there see it at another way as for example in Israel. Even when you say the word “jew” there, people are looking. It’s all very cramped there.
February 21st, 2006 at 4:26 am
I think that this is good idea. But on the other hand it wont do anything to make our relationship better with Arabic. So i think that the best idea is to kill all of terrorism and all of this stupid fanatic
February 21st, 2006 at 5:35 am
Good idea! Grtzy from Poland!

February 21st, 2006 at 6:54 am
This contest it’s a great idea, at last we can see how Jew’s are proud of their religion
February 21st, 2006 at 12:38 pm
Don’t go easy on ‘em, though. This shouldn’t be just “Jews laughing at themselves.” We do that a dozen times a day. The cartoons here should be really *offensive*, the kind of thing that would actually get you mad, not make you laugh. Yes, draw about Mossad torture, about Jews controlling the media, about the blood libel, holocaust denial… whatever it takes. It really *ought* to be something that would or at least could make Jews as offended as the Muslims have been.
The point is how do you *deal* with the anger. If you truly are steamed, if these get to non-Jewish websites and are used as actual anti-Semitic propaganda, how do you react? You write nasty letters and ask that they be removed and try to counter them… You don’t riot, kill people, or burn down embassies.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that Muslims were offended and became upset. What’s wrong is how they expressed it.

Reports seem to indicate “Anti-semitism” is on the rise.
Which is true granted that there is a linear relationship between increasing “Anti-semitism” and increasing jewish corruption. (Wolfowitz, Perle, feith, Abramoff)
Israel owns the united states government, and the rest of the west; they showed their brazen power in Austria recently.
February 22nd, 2006 at 3:32 am
Hello “All that You Fear”. You need to take more medication. There are laws against holocaust denial in Austria because Austria was an active participant in the slaughter of 6 million jews. Anti-semitism is on the rise because of people like you. Yes, there are corrupt jews, just as there are many corrupt Christians, Muslims and atheists - your desire to blame a whole religion for the sins of a few individuals shows not only your mental deficiency but your paranoia and desperation.

It’s make the point. It’s a good answer to Iranians, it’s anti-Semitic…
BUT IT ISN’T JEWISH
It isn’t the famous Jewish “Laughter Through Tears”?
Better off to put the Yiddish jokes and caricatures of 20th.
Probably the modern Israeli humor isn’t so Jewish .
With such satire it is impossible to control the World.

Intollerance of whatever “Amalek” of the day is, is all you need to know to know that the jews, the jewish faith are at least as insane as that of the Arabs we are bombing and slaughtering with total abandon, because they are “backwards”.
And American soldiers are used to fight this “Amalek”. Amalek is jewish irrationality, beyond that of Arab irrationality so vilified in today’s world.
A minority of people of all sorts of different nationalities, religions, and political views have you all figured out and that number is growing. Bless Iran. This whole war is a LIE; I would ask for muslims to protest vocally, point the finger straight at the true culprits; violence is the answer the chosen holy “Amalek” fighters desire.

Very very impressed.
This takes the game to them. Show what freedom of expression really means and leave them no opportunities to make excuses and point fingers.
You are showing them what it means to live in a truly free society.
I salute you guys! You have my deepest admiration.

Hello “Mustafa Kemal” and “Jewish People are Stupid”. I’m pretty sure you’re the same person. I just wanted to say hello and point out that your flies are undone.
