This one is still good today.

Tom and Jerry, the lovable cat and mouse locked in cartoon combat, is a Jewish conspiracy, according to an Iranian official.
Prof. Hasan Bolkhari, a cultural advisor to the Iranian Education Ministry, delivered the news last week on Iran's Channel 4 during a broadcast of film seminar where he was lecturing. An excerpt of the video was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute.
"The Jewish Walt Disney Company gained international fame with this cartoon," said Bolkhari. "It is still shown throughout the world. This cartoon maintains its status because of the cute antics of the cat and mouse – especially the mouse.
"Some say that the main reason for making this very appealing cartoon was to erase a certain derogatory term that was prevalent in Europe."
According to the professor, "Tom and Jerry" was created to irradicate the association between mice and Jews created in the minds of Europeans by Hitler.
"If you study European history, you will see who was the main power in hoarding money and wealth in the 19th century," continued Bolkhari. "In most cases, it is the Jews. Perhaps that was one of the reasons which caused Hitler to begin the anti-Semitic trend, and then the extensive propaganda about the crematoria began. ... Some of this is true. We do not deny all of it.
"Watch 'Schindler's List.' Every Jew was forced to wear yellow star on his clothing. The Jews were degraded and termed 'dirty mice.' 'Tom and Jerry' was made in order to change the Europeans' perception of mice. One of terms used was 'dirty mice.'
"It should be noted that mice are very cunning ... and dirty."
"Tom and Jerry," the creation of Joe Barbera and Bill Hanna, was created in 1939, the year World War II began and while the Holocaust was in full force, for the MGM cartoon studios, not Disney. During the next 18 years, Hanna and Barbera created over 200 cartoons featuring Tom and Jerry, earning the pair seven Academy Awards. Today, "Tom and Jerry" is owned by Turner Entertainment.
"If you happen to watch this cartoon tomorrow, bear in mind the points I have just raised," said Bolkhari, "and watch it from this perspective. The mouse is very clever and smart. Everything he does is so cute. He kicks the poor cat's a--. Yet this cruelty does not make you despise the mouse. He looks so nice, and he is so clever. ... This is exactly why some say it was meant to erase this image of mice from the minds of European children, and to show that the mouse is not dirty and has these traits. Unfortunately, we have many such cases in Hollywood shows."
Tom & Jihad bump!
Ohmigosh, but of course, you are correct. Thank you for revealing the hidden meaning of Itchy & Scratchy!
What a frakkin' moron. These people should have their tongues taken away as dangerous weapons.
Walt Disney had nothing w-h-a-t-s-o-e-v-e-r to do with Tom & Jerry.
They were a Hanna-Barbera Studios creation.
"They were a Hanna-Barbera Studios creation."
Like Disney, neither Hanna nor Barbera were Jewish.
Not a complaint. Just a point of information.
OMG, some of his pics look like a young Groucho Marx.
Thanks for the link.
The funny part (well, not funny ha-ha) is that Walt Disney was NOT Jewish, but Leo Mayer and Sam Goldwyn were. Out of all the studios in the golden age of Hollywood, this nimrod picks probably the only one that didn't have a Jew in the top office.
And assimilationist blacks are sometimes called "Uncle Toms." So the cartoons are obviously about how the Aryan's guile and cunning keep him safe from the predation of the black man. Hanna and Barberra weren't Jews, they were Nazis!
There is no hope of ever finding anything that remotely resembles sanity among these people. If a random ridiculous thought enters their mind, they spout off about it as if it were hard cold fact. At least they could do a little research and learn that Tom and Jerry are not Disney creations. Boobs!
What the video of this lunatic spouting off (translation provided) at Little Green Footballs:

And what are we going to do tomorrow?
Plan to take over the world.
Not just that, but we all know who invented astroturf.
That's right, the Jews.
Spielberg's Fievel Mousekewitz. There are no cats in America and the streets are paved with cheese.
I think the cartoon, was just supposed to be a funny show where the little man/underdog wins sort of like David & Goliath.
Actually, they were a MGM creation, by H-B, back when H-B worked for MGM....
Got it?
Thank you for the link. This man looks as if he has normal intelligence. Then he opens his mouth. LOL!
You know, the way that these people act, you'd think that we live in the era before mass communication. It's as though they have no way of knowing what is really going on in the rest of the world. Of course we know that isn't the case. They have institutes of higher learning and produce scientists and other scholars, they have citizens and government representatives who travel to other parts of the world, and they have managed to learn how to make a nuclear bomb. Yet they remain clueless, thin skinned and stupid beyond any rationalization.
When you have to resort to picking on Tom and Jerry in order to make some lame point,well, what more can be said?
"Actually, they were a MGM creation, by H-B, back when H-B worked for MGM."
So it was a Jewish plot after all.

"Doooon't you believe it!!!"

The students are hysterical. There they are, all rapt attention and enormous respect, assiduously taking notes, for all the world as if they are being given a lecture by Einstein, instead of a complete nutter with an IQ lower than room temperature.
