NO ANTI-SEMITISM HERE. Publish that cartoon with an obviously Arab figure and you’d be charged with “hate speech.”
I don’t see what the fuss is about. Is it Antisemitism to compare a Jew to a Greek god or to Spanish royalty? Do politicians – or at least foreign ones – deserve the same hypersensitivity as members of the Recognized Victim Classes?
Later: The free link to the cartoon has expired, so I’ll tell you that it pictured Ariel Sharon in a parody of Goya’s painting Saturno devorando a un hijo (Saturn devouring one of his Sons).
