 ratcatcher2 says: Oliphant's political cartoon about the Israel-Gaza conflict has sparked a predictable uproar from ADL, who see the cartoon as anti-Semitic. How does one respond to the sight of a Star of David mutant with giant teeth and one evil eye fixated on a defenceless tiny woman, holding a baby? I'm confident that its message is anti-Israel, not anti-Semitic. Israel is obviously the jack-booted headless figure carrying the sword and Star of David as weapons. The jack-boots and goose-stepping are meant to provoke the reader with comparisons to a Nazi storm-trooper. Right? Definitely anti-Zionist. The people in Israel learned nothing from WWII; they are doing exactly what was done to them, only this time, the US is biggest cheerleader of the apartheid forces. "Antisemitism" is something that a lot of people need to look up in the dictionary, since there are a lot of Jewish people, both in Israel, and around the world, who are being antisemitic. Jews aren't the only Semites in the world. Palestinians are Semites, too, so in truth, anything that attacks, detracts or otherwise demeans Palestinians is also antisemitic. Next time you hear someone screaming "Anti-Semitism", make sure they're using it right. Otherwise, slap them in the face and tell them smarten up... |
