ANTI-SEMITIC CARTOONS IN ARAB AND IRANIAN PRESS

Antisemitic Cartoons in the Arab and Iranian Press By O. Winter (MEMRI)
Among the cartoons published in the Arab and Iranian press are cartoons of antisemitic character. These contain a number of recurring themes: they often represent the Jews as long-nosed characters of ultra-orthodox appearance, as the killers of Christ, as serpents or as Nazi soldiers. In addition, Jews are portrayed as having pervasive control and power, and as conspirators and instigators of wars, who are out to rule the world.

The following is a sample of cartoons from the last few months depicting Jews as the killers of Jesus, plunderers of resources, taking over the world, warmongers, and Nazis click here: http://memri.org/bin/latestnews.cgi?ID=IA36807
