Spot the difference!
Which of these cartoons was published first in "Der Stuermer", a notorious Anti-Jewish magazine in Nazi-Germany, published by Julius Streicher ( 1946 executed) and which was published recently by an Iranian website, as part of an international cartoon festival.

  If you have been wondering, why I defended the right of Israel to exist ( although in a different form), here's the reason.

Are those two buildings Christian churches (the one on the left presumably Russian orthodox) in the lower left corner? |

I presume the cartoon is about the recent events in the Lebanon and those two Churches refer to the various Christian Groups in the country (Maronites, Eastern Orthodox, etc). ------------- [IMG]http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i137/komnenos/crosses1.jpg"> |

Has any one seen the actual caricatures of the contest? (this one Kom is a "cartoon of the day" of the website not one of the international contest but one taken from the press).

It's part of cartoon festival alright, see:

The website is a bit unreliable and slow, probably down to huge traffic ( as all the usual suspects come to have a look and giggle) ------------- [IMG]http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i137/komnenos/crosses1.jpg"> |

| And very little mention was made (or is ever made) by the Western mainstream about the anti-semitism in the Arab and Iranian press. To do that might undermine the role, in the eyes of western liberals, of the Arabs and Iranians as victims. |
