Anti-Israel (and -Semitic?) cartoon in The Sunday Times

[KickballDeac]

"Israeli Elections-- Will Cementing Peace Continue?"

Sunday happened to be Holocaust Memorial Day.

You really did it this time, Milhouse. Even Rupert Murdoch has apologized: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21239917

(The artist was actually Gerald Scarfe, who was the animation director for Pink Floyd's The Wall. He says he "very much regrets the timing" of the cartoon's publication)

There is a Milhouse joke / tag here somewhere.

Shit. I forgot that the Holocaust gave Jewish politicians perpetual immunity from being caricatured in political cartoons.

From the article:

"Whatever the intention, the danger of such images is that they reinforce a great slander of our time: that Jews, victims of the Holocaust, are now perpetrators of a similar crime against the Palestinians," he said in a statement.


The gall.
