Jewish Groups Denounce Oliphant Gaza Cartoon
AP ^ | 3/26/09 | RAQUEL MARIA DILLON

Posted on 03/26/2009 12:16:51 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Two Jewish groups have denounced a Pat Oliphant political cartoon on Gaza as anti-Semitic, likening its fanged Star of David to Nazi imagery before the Holocaust.

The syndicated cartoon published Wednesday in newspapers across the country depicts a goose-stepping uniformed figure wheeling the Jewish symbol as it menaces a small female figure labeled "Gaza."

The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish rights group with more than 400,000 members in the United States, said the cartoon is meant to denigrate and demonize Israel.

So how many deaths and how much looting and rioting is going on over this outrage? Oh yeah that’s right only the religion of peace followers do that.

fanged Star of David ... menaces a small female figure labeled "Gaza." ... is meant to denigrate and demonize Israel.

Is this not obvious to everyone. The sad part is that so many "liberals" know that and don't mind at all.

The goose-stepping figure is “wheeling” a Jewish symbol?

Where do you suppose he is taking it?

;^)

Wielding? Maybe?

Did the Simon Wiesenthal Center denounce the cartoon characters in the present administration whose goal is to denigrate and demonize Israel?

It’s offensive and will stir up feelings that the obama admnistration will soon be overtly cultivating.

Why does that guy not have a head? And why is the Star of David on a tiny little wheel? It just seems kind of dumb to me.

That cartoon you posted is absolute proof that all charges of racism are nothing more than a political battering ram. A lefty gets away with racially insensitive behavior while conservatives have to fight the false charges.

Oliphant places the blame in Israel on the Jewish people - who didn’t see that coming?

that mouth is at a height that makes it impossible to eat that woman, because of the wheel.
hmm that really is like Israel: they have all this military capability but they never use it to actually wipe out Hamas once and for all. They limit themselves in some way.

Disgusting, in light of the thousands of bombings by the terrorists in Gaza who hide under behind women and children. Still advocate that the surrounding islamic countries resettle the palis onto their lands and provide for them. Just think of all that vacant desert land that no one is using. Think of all the oil monies that each islamic country could chip in and make a city in that desert just for the palis.

Perhaps it is related to the fact that they have no heads?

The so-called "palestinians" are despised by the arabs and muslims, just a shade less than the Jews. Every place they've gone, they've brought nothing but disaster with them. Take note of Lebanon, back before Syria took over. In the days of their civil war. And do a google search on "Black September." The terrorist group was named after the events. It was when the palis tried to overthrow the government in Jordan, and the Jordanian military slaughtered well over 20,000 palis.

The reason for the "plight" of the palis is a simple one. They've been kept and "bred" as cannon fodder to fight the Jews and Israelis. Seriously, take a look at the history, and you'll see that's the main reason for their situation.

Oliphant loves his Nazi imagery. His first national splash came when he depicted then Vice President Spiro Agnew as an SS Officer.

http://www.artnet.com/Artists/LotDetailPage.aspx?lot_id=FF4ADD03E1CBEBF8

Ever since then, Oliphant has had a love affair with Nazis, in his bilious, burning hate against those he despises. Like Ted Rall or Keith Olbermann, they fantasize about the methods of the Nazis, dreaming of torture and murder of individuals or peoples. Likewise, they feel no stress or remorse for their hate, having so dehumanized their enemies that in their minds, their lives are disposable.

The Catholic church describes such people as being soul-dead, their souls already in Hell, though their amoral bodies continue to live and act without conscience.

Oliphant is a prick of the highest level. This morning's POS by him in our paper attacked Republicans for creating the entire mess the economy is currently experiencing and played upon the sympathy with Obama carrying the world on his back. I am surprised that Oliphant doesn't show a cartoon of himself performing a sex act upon Obama since he worships him so.

See post #5. “Wheeling” is correct.

It is an overused cliché to say that something reminds them of the Nazis, but this cartoon truly does. Sickening.
