  1. Custador says:

    The Swastika armbands are a little unrealistic; many Middle-East Arabs regard Hitler as a hero.

    • Daniel Florien says:

      Also the tongue is a bit long.

    • Francesco Orsenigo says:

      Many Arabs consider Israel policies angainst the Palestinians akin to Nazism.

      • mikespeir says:

        Yeah, but I can’t see any Jew wearing a swastika.

        • Francesco Orsenigo says:

          I don’t know the Jews you are used to, but those I know personally do also without the blood, the forked tongue and assorted fiendish props.

          • mikespeir says:

            Your comment is puzzling. Elucidate?

            • Francesco Orsenigo says:

              It was probably an ill attempt at making fun of the fact that you had problems with the swastika and not with the other features of the depicted Jew.

            • mikespeir says:

              Ah! Well, the other features probably comprise a pretty generic caricature of an evil person–regardless ethnicity or other fundamentally defining characteristic. The swastika, on the other hand, is something that would be hard to affix to a Jew, something like trying to label an African American with a Confederate battle flag. At least that’s the way I see it.

              On the other hand, I can appreciate the irony.

            • random guy says:

              No such thing as black confederates?

              Reality is stranger than fiction sometimes. BTW the guy in that photo is also the jerk who tried to get the mayor of Asheville kicked out of office for being an atheist.

            • mikespeir says:

              Dang, that’s weird, random guy. It’s almost like, “I’m a slave, dagnabbit, and you’ll free me over my dead body!”

            • Logan says:

              Log Cabin Republicans.

    • Yoav says:

      And the main Palestinian leader of the period Haj Amin al Husseini spent the war years in Germany and was actively involved in recruiting the Muslim population of the Balkan and the middle east to fight for the axis.

      • James says:

        And that totally means that the Jews should treat the Palestinian people inhumanely!

        • Yoav says:

          Not at all. Personally I think that ending the rule over a large Palestinian population in a two state solution is a good thing for israel even from a practical point (future historians can later go over the record and decide who was “right”). However I find the way that the arab world treat nazism as both evil, when comparing israel to it, and good, when dealing with their own history, rather amusing.

          • WMDKitty says:

            Or maybe the Palestinians should reclaim their land from Jordan, instead of attacking Israel….

            • Francesco Orsenigo says:

              Don’t know about Jordan, but Israel is creating settlements…

            • WMDKitty says:

              Palestine was pretty much absorbed by Jordan when the British re-drew the boundaries, therefore, the Palestinians have no legitimate beef with Israel.

              Israel, on the other hand, is under siege from Arabs who are trying to utterly ERASE it from the map.

              You do the math.

            • Custador says:

              Hmmm, but on the other hand Israel does steal more and more chunks of land all the time, calls them “buffer zones”, promises not to build on them, reneges on their promises and builds houses on them anyway and oh look! Need a new “buffer zone” now, let’s steal some more. Rinse, repeat. The worst part is that if it wasn’t for American influence and money, they wouldn’t have a hope in hell of getting away with the aggression that that they do. I dearly wish that Obama would say “You know what, that’s one broken promise too many. You’re not getting anymore US money”. If that happened, I’d predict a two-state solution and a state of peace within five years, maximum.

            • WMDKitty says:

              It’s not stealing when the land IS PART OF THEIR COUNTRY. The land the Israelis are “stealing” already belongs to them, and they have every right to kick out the Palestinians who are illegally inhabiting it.

    • Custador says:

      I should have made myself clearer; I don’t think Jews are fire-breathing baby-eaters, I was just saying that even the most rabid Jew-hating Arab wouldn’t put a Swastika on the picture because they think Naziism = good.

    The watermarks in the corners are a bit odd, given that the source doesn’t have any…

  4. Igor says:

    Yeah, but I can’t see any Jew wearing a swastika

    Haven’t you ever seen “The Producers?”

    “In some places, it is not the “defamation” of faith that threatens rights but measures that supposedly defend it.”

    While we’re debating the historical accuracy of this cartoon, the Nazi swastika also seems to be going the wrong way… so it’s a Hindu Jew? :P

  7. shiro says:

    Don’t be upset that the jew is wearing swastikas – because he isn’t. He is wearing the buddhist symbol. I believe there is a North American indian tribe which also uses the same symbol. Either way, not a swastika.
