The Washington Post quickly removed a cartoon of a Hamas terrorist following backlash from some readers branding it 'racist.'

The political cartoon, titled 'Human Shields', depicted a large-nosed Hamas extremist with infants, children and women tied to him, as he questioned: 'How dare Israel attack civilians...'

Very accurate description. I watched interviews of Gaza residents who were questioned why terrorists fire their rockets and guns from schools, hospitals and sites with many civilians in Gaza. The brain-dead responses were all pretty much the same, “They need to be protected from Israel firing back.”

Interviewer asks “But Gaza civilians are put in danger.”

Gaza people “But it is what Hamas needs to do, to stop Israel from shooting them.”

Interviewer asks “But why does Hamas fire at Israel civilians in the first place? You complain if Israel fires back and Gaza civilians get hit.”

Gaza people “Then Israel should not shoot back.”

All the Gaza residents are supportive of Hamas tactics. There are no innocent civilians in Gaza. Israel should respond accordingly and wipe them out, collateral damage should be irrelevant.

That is an EXCELLENT cartoon. Note that it DOES NOT say “Arabs” or “Muslims”, it says HAMAS, and what’s shown there is (finally) being proven by Israel, on a daily basis.

“So truth is racist now?”

No, but I guess HAMAS is now a race, or something?

I saw this on Daily Mail. Then two articles down was about a video that the Palistibians put out showing the grandmas and boys that they had kidnapped and were holding hostage. Of course Daily Mail wouldn’t let me point this out in the comments.

Ha! I don’t know. Does Bezos still own the Washington ComPost, or do the Saudis?

Accuracy is not the Post’s strong point. Neither is the truth.

They’re on another roll!
