Major German daily publishes anti-Israeli cartoon
The Times of Israel ^ | 8/8/2013 | ADIV STERMAN

Posted on 08/08/2013 6:45:03 AM PDT by Former Fetus

A major German newspaper on Wednesday published an anti-Israeli caricature likening Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to an evil character from an anti-Nazi song. The cartoon raised serious concerns among Jews in Germany and beyond, who have demanded that the paper apologize.

In Wednesday’s Stuttgarter Zeitung, Netanyahu is seen sitting on a park bench, pouring poison from a bottle labeled “settlement construction” over a piece of bread which he apparently intends to feed to a peace dove. The cartoon caption references a 1938 anti-Nazi song by the Jewish Austrian-American composer and performer Georg Kreisler called “Pigeon Poisoner.”

The American Jewish Committee issued a stark condemnation of the caricature, saying it conveys a damaging message and attempts to over simplify a complex situation.

“Looking for Jewish riots all over the world... oh, that’s right, Jews won’t burn cars or riot.”

Apparently, Jews that live outside Israel aren’t very bright when it comes to protecting themselves.

American Jews voted overwhelmingly for a not so closet muslim.

Depends how you look at it. 85% of the 100,000 US citizens living in Israel voted for Romney in 2012. The orthodox vote in America was also not in the Obama camp.
Jewish voters are defined in many ways. Observant Jews were conservative. Cutural jews are about as dependable as non mass attending catholics who also broke hard for Obama.

The fact is, being a jew is much less of a predictor of voting than simply where you are from. New Yorkers and Californites are far more likely to vote solid dem. And that is where most of Americas jewish communities are found. Both observant and non.

I haven’t broken it down to such a level. I’m going by published stats and my personal interactions with Jews here in Ohio. I know Jews, and I like them. But, of the Jews I know, I don’t know any conservative Jews. Totally anecdotal, and hardly an accurate barometer, but it does affect my perception.

Thanks Former Fetus. Violent 17 year old hood in a hoodie cases a home through the windows, then jumps and beats down a “cracker” and “homo”, and gets plugged as a matter of self-defense, Europe’s media screams about it...

They (Jews) were also involved in the founding of the NAACP.

When the NAACP was founded it was an ethical courageous group. Have you forgotten Lincoln was a Republican and WE (conservatives) were the people who freed the slaves and fought for equality? All the southern racist politicians stayed democrats after the 60's except Maddox...

Dems jumped on the 'civil rights' bandwagon when they sensed the winds changing in the 60's. They moved toward the power position and changed their 'victim of choice' from blacks to conservatives... They were the Establishmetn then, they're the Establishment now...

The NAACP of today - steeped in liberal elitism and victim-hood - is NOT anything like the original group.

“Pigeon Poisoner?” That was Tom Lehrer. I trust you remember his song about that:

No. All we do is forget to tell the AJC to shut the hell up, not because that will change anything, but because they are annoying, pompous doofusses, and I’d rather the world didn’t get reminded of that quite so often.

It is the Palestinians who don’t want peace, and there is NO PRESSURE on the Palestinians to be peaceful by the EU or UN or US.
