Israel hits back at Swiss envoy's 'ugly act' in showing Netanyahu bird droppings cartoon

The Swiss ambassador to Iran's display of a cartoon depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being defecated upon by two doves was condemned as "an ugly act" by the Foreign Ministry late Friday.

Switzerland expressed regret earlier Friday after Ambassador Giulio Haas showed the cartoon at an event promoting Iranian business opportunities.

Haas spoke to hundreds of Swiss and Iranian business people at a Zurich hotel on Thursday.

The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) said the "questionable cartoon" was used without its knowledge. "The FDFA regrets the use of this cartoon and considers it tasteless," it said in a statement.

Ah, it’s the Swiss again, bonding with our enemies, just as they did in WW2 (but they were not quite as bad as the Swedes).

Such angst over a cartoon?

Really, every now and then it’s okay for Israel to lighten up.

Muslims have been known to kill people over a cartoon.

The Swiss ambassador to Iran's display of a cartoon depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being defecated upon by two doves was condemned as "an ugly act" by the Foreign Ministry late Friday...

The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) said the "questionable cartoon" was used without its knowledge.
More appropriate would be Haas dressed in a Waffen SS uniform, weighing gold teeth pulled from Holocaust victims, while turbaned Iranians look on and cheer.

Or a cartoon about it.
