Occupy Tampa posts anti-Semitic cartoon on Holocaust Day
Haaretz ^ | 5/19/12 | Nadan Feldman

The Occupy Tampa movement posted an anti-Semitic cartoon on their Facebook page on Thursday, which coincided with Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The cartoon, shown below, depicted a Jewish man with a big nose and large beard driving a car with the symbol of the United Nations as the wheel and U.S. President Barack Obama's head as the stick shift.

Within five hours the cartoon received more than 400 comments, mostly from outraged users, including many Israelis.

"Putting this on Holocaust day just makes it even more sickening than it already is," one user said.

"This is an outrage. All OWS sympathizers must be disgusted by this vile act of hatred," said another user.

Despite the fact that most of the commentators were furious over the cartoon, 54 people "liked" the image.

Moreover, many users made a point to stress that the page belongs to Occupy Tampa, which is not affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement, and that the movement has no official leadership so anyone can post under the "occupy" name. However, the Occupy Tampa Facebook page has more than 25,000 followers, and has been active since September 25, the beginning of the Occupy Wall Street protests.

Occupy Tampa got moved from Downtown (it was at Curtis Hixon Park) to the part of town where Obama would be elected dog catcher (a park owned by Joe Redner, who ownes Adult entertainment centers. The Park is in West Tampa (part of Tampa) near public housing areas - and abandoned buildings).

Occupy Tampa is not even on the news here in Tampa.

I don’t see how anyone with half a brain could think the U.N. and Obama are on Israel’s side. The cartoon doesn’t even make sense!

Holocaust Remembrance Day?

In America, April 19 is Patriot's Day.

It was then shifted to the third Monday in April, and then to September 11, while April 19 is handed over to the Holocaust.

So under the Leftists, Patriot's Day is now commemorated by TWO mass murders, and the original day and place - Lexington Green - is ignored.

Leftists believe they can rewrite history.

God believes he can rewrite Leftists.

We'll see who wins.
