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?

...said the cartoon is meant to denigrate and demonize Israel.

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.

Oliphant is a clown and a hater, this has been well known for years.

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.
