PA Inciting Palestinians Against America, Critic SaysA Review of "Doodling for Saddam: The Use of Cartoons in Palestinian Newspaper to Recruit for the Iraqi RegimeJulie StahlBureau Chief, CNSNEWS.COM Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - The Palestinian Authority is inciting its citizens against America, and the publication of anti-American sentiments in the government-controlled press proves it, an informed critic said here. David Bedein, bureau chief of the Israel Resource News Agency in Jerusalem, charged that the Palestinians are using their media to stir up the public against the U.S., even to the point of going to war. Bedein has put together a collection...

LONDON - The Israeli Embassy in London has sent a strongly worded letter of protest to The Independent, following an editorial cartoon yesterday by Dave Brown, depicting Prime Minister Ariel Sharon biting the flesh of a Palestinian baby. In the cartoon, Sharon says: "What's wrong? Have you never seen a politician kissing a baby?" The background shows Apache attack helicopters sending missiles from the cockpit with the message "Vote Likud." In her letter, Shuli Davidovich, the embassy's press secretary, writes: "As Britain commemorates National Holocaust Day, I am shocked that The Independent has chosen to evoke an ancient Jewish stereotype...

'It is not the cartoon's skewed picture of the Middle East conflict that is at issue. It is the use of the classic "blood libel" of Jews murdering gentile children for their blood' I am not easily offended, much less shocked – at least not by media coverage of Israel and the Middle East. For though I have edited the oldest and most influential Jewish newspaper in the world for the past dozen years, for a dozen years before that I was a foreign correspondent, often a war correspondent – beginning in the late 1970s in the Middle East and...

This jerk has really gone over the edge this time.

You make the call. I don't usually get my boxers in a bunch, but I find this cartoon offensive. Unfortunately, the Philadelphia Daily News doesn't provide an e-mail address for Signe. If any of you Philadelphia area FReepers know how to contact and respond to this, let me know

Scheduled to be in stores on April 11 (4/11) for $3.50, the title is an anthology focused on that theme. (Marvel President and COO Bill) Jemas said, " 411 will be the most serious of books that we produce in the next year or so. The word '411' is a buzzword that kids use for 'information now,' and the information we want to convey is about people like Martin Luther King,...

Yo, Muhammad, it was a joke! Hey, did you hear the one about Muhammad and …? No? Me neither. And even if I did hear a good Muhammad joke, you can bet I wouldn't tell it. Not in an e-mail, not in a column, not no way, not no how. Why? Because if you poke fun at the prophet of Islam -or even suggest anything that remotely smacks of irreverence -you will live (maybe) to regret it. Already, I feel the rumbling of thousands of creatively worded hate mails involving the word "donkey" as they thunder along my computer's routers....

2002 was the year Clinton almost got a tv talk show. GW’s State of the Union Speech, 2002. Those poor poor TERRORIST "detainees" at Guantanamo Bay! America remembers Daniel Pearl. Mid-term Elections, 2002. Saddam in disguise... Welcome to North Korea... America stays united!

LA Times has published a political cartoon by Michael Ramirez of Jews praying at the Wailing Wall with the word 'HATE' made of blocks on the wall. (Sorry I was unable to post the cartoon, but can be seen at the LA Times site under Op/ed.)Not that we don't expect this kind of garbage from the LA Times, its just that the bottom feeders have again reached a new low - or a new personal worst.
