A prominent American Jewish organization is denouncing The Washington Post for posting an animated cartoon on its YouTube channel depicting Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu beating a Palestinian infant.
The caricature is aimed at apportioning blame equally between Israel and Hamas for the suffering of Gazan civilians. It was created by Ann Telnaes, one of the newspapers editorial cartoonists.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center declared its outrage over the cartoon. In a statement released to news agencies on Friday, the centers associate dean, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, said the clip was disgusting.
"It is disgusting that The Washington Post would present an animated cartoon that is so profoundly removed from the truth," said Cooper. "Millions of Israeli citizensmen, women, and childrenhave been forced into bomb shelters and saferooms by thousands of missiles and rockets targeted at them by Hamas terrorists, whose open and avowed goal is the destruction of the Jewish state."
Even Israel's enemies have recognized that Israel's military countermeasures against Hamas have included phone and text warnings as well as leaflets urging innocent civilians in Gaza to vacate the targeted areas," Cooper said. "It is the Hamas leadership that openly uses the people of Gaza to act as human shields to protect their weapons of mass destruction."

The Washington Post cartoon is a hate crime.
Netanyahu has bent over backwards trying to safeguard human life. Hamas on the other hand puts military ordinance next to elementary schools ... to use children as shields.
"It is disgusting that The Washington Post would present an animated cartoon that is so profoundly removed from the truth," said Cooper.You want they should write news that is profoundly removed from the truth? Oh, wait.
very true
Except for a few years immediately after World War II, anti-Semitism has always been fashionable in high circles and low.
History comes full circle.
I stand with Israel but with very few exceptions like Mark Levin, US Jews and eat it.
Loud mouthed LIBERAL Jews may will have voted twice for Obama, but know this.
They and the long-time LIBERAL Jewish groups are Liberal first and foremost, and are among those most virulent in their charges against the USA.
There are countless American Jews, including my own circle who loathe and despise those who constantly find a way to self-criticize.
I’ve come to believe that while Jews are “smart”, they are really quite capable of being “”STUPID”. Sadly, they are quite proud of it.
I hand delivered information to some Jewish acquaintances of ours sharing FACTS on Obama’s support of the Palestenian cause. They still voted for him and proudly kept their Obama sign in their yard. The Jewish support of Obama reminds me of the Jews that supported Hitler. Craziness.
The antisemites/leftist are not even trying to hide it anymore.
They’ll have to comet through this Scot/Irish white trash.
It doesn’t seem that American Jews are as connected to the situation of survival over there in Israel, as those in the country. But even in saying that, there are those in Israel who might have voted for Obama (if they could have).
“The Jewish support of Obama reminds me of the Jews that supported Hitler.”
Excepting perhaps the occasional well-connected person and exception, Jewish people did not support Hitler in any sort of meaningful numbers.
Hitler was openly anti-Semitic from the start.
Not sure where this stupid idea came from, but I am sick of a-historical idiots posting it.
Neighborhood Bully - Bob Dylan
Well the neighborhood bully, he’s just one man
His enemies say he’s on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He’s the neighborhood bully
Neighborhood bully, he just lives to survive
He’s criticized and condemned for being alive
Not supposed to fight back and have thick skin
Supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He’s the neighborhood bully
Neighborhood bully been driven out of every land
He’s wandered the earth, an exiled man
Seen his family scattered, people hounded and torn
He’s always on trial for just being born
He’s the neighborhood bully
Well he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized
Old women condemned him, said, “He should apologize”
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, ain’t nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him, he was supposed to feel bad
He’s the neighborhood bully
Well the chances are against it and the odds are slim
That he’ll live by the rules that the world makes for him
There’s a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a license to kill him given out to every maniac
He’s the neighborhood bully
But he got no allies to really speak of
But he gets, he must pay for, he don’t get it out of love
He buys obsolete weapons and he won’t be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side
He’s the neighborhood bully
Well he’s surrounded by pacifists who all want peace
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease
Now they wouldn’t hurt a fly, to hurt one they would weep
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep
He’s the neighborhood bully
Every empire that’s enslaved him is gone
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon
He’s made a garden of paradise in the desert sand
In bed with nobody, under no ones command
He’s the neighborhood bully
Now his holiest books have been trampled upon
No contract he signed was worth what it was written on
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
He’s the neighborhood bully
What’s anybody indebted to him for?
Nothin’, they say, he just likes to cause war
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed
Neighborhood bully
What has he done to wear so many scars?
Does he change the course of rivers?
Does he pollute the moon and stars?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill
Running out the clock, time standing still, neighborhood bully
Now they can kiss my ass.

That's quite the broad brush that you're working with.
Yet, Jewish voters in the US will continue to support DemocRATS.
I never understood Jews since FDR let Jews on the St. Louis get shipped back to Europe instead of letting them get off at Ellis Island and get asylum.
GOP has been more supportive of Israel than Dems.
Wilson, FDR, Truman, Clinton, and Obama have all been hostile to Israel.
At one Dem convention they actually passed an anti Israeli plank but then were forced to repeal it.
But, but, I thought the main stream media was owned by the Jews?/s
Will they run these "cartoons" next week?
Let us be clear: hatred of the Jews is Satanic.
American "Liberals" are nothing but fascist, godless lemmings who are the wide road to Hell itself.
I’m tired of arguing with the smartest people in the room.
I think it’s HIGH TIME these people start getting what they want.
They want Israel a smoking radioactive cloud? Okay.
They want the government to enslave them? Okay.
They want a military dictatorship? Okay.
Sucks that they’re dragging me to Hell with them, but at least I won’t be there alone.
The master at PsyOps (Psychological Operations) was Goebbels. He did say over and over again: If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
He would also say that the lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
