Hi
Whilst there are certain processes that may be invite study of the Holocaust and Zionism (eg see Israel Shahank, Mark Ellis, Norman Finklestein) reproducing such cartoons only serves to trivalise both the Holocaust and the suffering of the Palestinians. Most Jews who havent really thought about Zionism will not be persuaded by such offensive and juvenile graphics..

why make the palestine denier a jew in the cartoon? why not an Arab? after all the other Arab nations had been shiting on the palestinians for hundreds of years before the jews came along. they still are doing so in they're own countries. the only reason they're pretending to support them in the holy land is because they all hate the jews even more thean the palestinians!
hey don't get me wrong. i ain't one of these "its all a anti-semitic conspiracy" bunch. but lets face it; other arab nations are just taking advantage of the powerles position of an oppressed people, to act out there traditional hatred of jews.

Victor's right - nobody unaligned will be convinced by this stuff.

So its message won't get home to a new audience. It's also not funny. What's the point of it then?

What about Turkey's holocaust!

Turkey has been carrying out a holocaust against the Kurdish minority in its country since 1984 destroying hundreds of villages and forcing millions to flee as refugees in its war against the Kurdish PKK and currently flies bombing missions into the no fly zone in northern Iraq to bomb Kurdish village, an area that is supposed to be a safe haven for the Kurds and patroled by US and British warplanes to ensure their safety!

why not?

Why don't you organize a movement, Harlequin?

Publish your own cartoons.

Most people are caught up in their own struggles. If you don't do anything, Kurds will continue to be tortured and raped and killed. They depend on you for help.

You should be ashamed, to waste your life disparaging others' actions against conflict and suffering, when there is so much which you could do.

Get off your righteous butt and start (or join) a Kurdish aid group.

A great cartoon that makes a truly pertinent point.
Or are those who are attacking Latuff forgetting what Golda Meir said about Palestine?

This Doesnt Help

Hi
I agree with Joss..and am bemused by those who choose to believe that if those of us who are against Zionism say that such crude and frankly offensive cartoons do not help the fight against Zionism and antisemitism then we are somehow Zionists!
If I was a Zionist this cartoon which trivalises both Palestinian and Jewish suffering is just the sort of knee jerk image id encourage.
