So when Do Western Bleeding Hearts NOT Think that Cartoonists Need to be Repudiated?
 

All those people whining about how the West needs to be more sensitive and
all when it comes to cartoons depicting Moslems or Islamic symbols have never had anything to say about the vicious anti-Semitic cartoons of  Michael
Leunig, an Australian cartoonist. Leunig's cartoons are so anti-Semitic that they were subjects of a practical joke and hoax over the past few days.  As you know, Iran is having its own Holocaust Denial Cartoon contest, to "avenge" the Danish cartoons that showed the Prophet Mohammed with a bomb in his turban, and some other offensive images.  Perhaps as a prank to show how easily Leunig's own cartoons can pass for Nazi caricatures, an Australian freelance journalist operating under the pen name "The Chaser" sent one of the Leunig's images from 2002 to Iran’s Hamshahri newspaper, which is holding the cartoon competition on the Holocaust in ‘retaliation’ for the publication of anti-Muslim images by Denmark’s Jyllands-Posten and other European
newspapers.

Leunig’s cartoon, which was accompanied by a fake email claiming that the submission was a “show of solidarity with the Muslim world,” was drawn for The Age in May 2002.  The first section of the cartoon consists of a Jewish concentration camp inmate gazing up at the Nazi slogan, “Work brings Freedom.” The second section is of an Israeli soldier in 2002 confronted with another lie, “War brings Peace.”  Subtle!  You can view it here.   He also drew a dumb picture that described the founder of Hamas merely as an “old Palestinian man in a wheelchair”.   An Australian paper declined to run one of his cartoons that called Australian Prime Minister John Howard a "suckhole".

Many people have accused the millionaire cartoonist of being an anti-Semite. Several Australian newspapers have refused to print Leunig's anti-Semitic cartoon, including The Age and its editor Michael Gawenda, and this ignited a roar of protest from the Trotsky-Trash and similar ultra-moonbats.  Leunig has also defended Helen Darville (Demidenko), an author caught up in academic fraud but whose most serious atrocity was producing a virulently anti-semitic book called The Hand That Signed The Paper.  She blames the Jews for all her problems and David Irving himself has nothing but praise for Darville. Ted Lapkin, policy director for the Australia-Israel Jewish Affairs Council, said there was no denying Leunig's cartoons are offensive.  "His cartoons have offended the Jewish community - but contrast the reaction here to the Middle East, where they are rampaging the streets over cartoons." Paul Gardner, chairman of the Jewish human rights group, the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation Commission, said it was "completely objectionable" for someone to falsely implicate Leunig by entering his cartoon in such a competition. But he described the cartoon as "entirely objectionable, because it made a false analogy between Nazism and the actions of Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians".

 

 

Europe's Jews for Mass Murder of Jews

 

1.    Yesterday something extraordinary happened in Israel.  The Israeli authorities refused to let three vicious anti-Semites enter Israel.  This of course is unusual and entirely out of character for Israel, which ordinarily welcomes foreign anti-Semites and then sends them to the West Bank where they can vandalize Israel's security fence and violently attack soldiers and police.  So what made Israel behave with sudden uncharacteristic survivalist dignity yesterday?  Well, first of all, the three were so obviously anti-Semites that Israel's far-leftist daily Haaretz referred to them as "peace activists". The three were from the fanatically anti-Israel "European Jews for a Just Peace".   The "just peace" they have in mind is where all the Israeli Jews have been shipped out in cattle cars to nice work camps.   See http://www.ejjp.org/ EJJP claims to represent 18 different leftist anti-Jewish groups of European Jews, but we suspect all 18 groups have the same 8 members.  There are only 8 people listed here as members http://www.ejjp.org/main.asp?pagid=8 and several have clearly non-Jewish names.

The terror leader of this group is one Dror Feiler.  You probably remember Feiler as the Swedish ex-Israeli "sculptor" who created a "work of art" celebrating the mass murderer suicide bomber woman who murdered 23 people in a Haifa restaurant, including members of three generations of a single family. One child lost his parents and was left alive, blinded. The bomber beloved by Feiler intentionally stood next to a baby carriage when she set the bomb off to make sure the baby was blown to bits.  The  bomber was a West Bank lawyer, not a starving refugee. Feiler's "art  show" compared her to Snow White in her purity.  Feiler was raised a red  diaper baby by his communist mother Pnina Feiler, then moved to Sweden.  When the Israeli Ambassador to Sweden saw the atrocity that Feiler had created to celebrate the mass murderer, he vandalized it.  Israel's Lefties then had a conniption at this "destruction of art".    Feiler became the overnight hero for the Sormfront organization of Nazis and Holocaust Deniers:

 http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?mode=hybrid&t=110784 When he is not busy celebrating genocide and mass murder of Jews, Feiler serves as "chairman" of the "European Jews for a Just Peace". Yesterday three of the group's members were busted when they arrived at Tel Aviv airport.  They were supposed to hook up with Palestinian terrorists and Israeli leftist thugs and help attack Israeli police protecting Israel's security fence near the village of Bil'in. After busting them, Feiler himself gave a press briefing in which he said, "There is no other country on earth that behaves like this!"  He is of course correct.  In any other country, overseas trouble-makers coming in to assist genocidal terrorists would be taken out back and shot, or at least shipped off to Gitmo.  Feiler's campaign for genocidal terrorism was earlier discussed by us here: http://www.chronwatch.com/content/contentDisplay.asp?aid=5654 We reprint some earlier observations about him:  'Ah, the Israeli left!   Every days brings us new wonders from it, new manifestations of anti-Semitism and treason.  'Among the Israeli or ex-Israeli leftist anti-Semites trekking the globe is one Mapplethropian ''artist'' named Dror Feiler.  Feiler hates Israel with a passion and supports Jihad and Palestinian terrorism.

 He lives in Stockholm with his Swedish wife whence he spreads his views, including on the Internet. He also claims to be a musician who makes ''music and noise'' and my guess is more of the latter than the former. (http://www.furious.com/perfect/drorfeiler.html )  'Among Feiler's recent ''artistic'' creations is a work celebrating the terrorist woman who blew herself up inside the Maxim restaurant in Haifa, murdering 23 people, some of them Arabs, many of the children. Feiler seems to think this woman is a great hero, so he drew a portrait of her floating happily in a pool of Jewish blood.  The work is entitled Snow White and the Madness of Truth (http://www.makingdifferences.com/site/calendar.php?id=20 ).   It was displayed in Sweden in a museum, the Historiska Museet, together with a poem that included the following phrases:  'She was also a woman as white as snow, as red as blood, and her hair was as black as ebony. like a weed in her heart until she had no peace day and night Hanadi Jaradat was a 29-year-old lawyer Weeping bitterly, she added: "If our nation cannot realize its dream and the goals of the victims, and live in freedom and dignity, then let the whole world be erased "Run away, then, you poor child. and the red looked beautiful upon the white.''

"It was all part of the preparations for some sort of Swedish conference on ''genocide,'' which by all expectations will end up endorsing Arab plans to conduct genocide against Jews.  'The art was on display in Stockholm when the Israeli Ambassador decided to respond to it in a manner almost unseen by Israeli officials since the start of Oslo appeasement.  He responded to it as a Jew and a Zionist; after asking nicely that it be taken down, he vandalized the obscenity.   Curiously, the Ambassador is an appointee of Labor Party dove Ehud Barak, who was on Israeli TV soon afterwards cheering on the Ambassador for this rare act of Israeli self-pride and courage. Surprisingly, Barak's party and Meretz have NOT suggest that Feiler be granted the Israel Prize.   'Feiler runs a PLO front group called Jews for Israeli Palestinian Peace (JIPF).   He also serves as head of European Jews for a Just Peace, which might or might not have other members besides himself.  The artist has filed a complaint with the Swedish police against the Ambassador for the vandalizing, and it set off a diplomat confrontation between Sweden and Israel.    I personally think the Ambassador should say he was just engaging in theater and so his actions should be protected artistic expression.  ''This was not a piece of art,'' the ambassador told Sweden's SR radio news station.  

''It was a monstrosity.  For me it was intolerable and an insult to the families of the victims,'' he said.  ''As ambassador [of] Israel I could not remain indifferent to such an obscene misrepresentation of reality.''  'Feiler describes himself as the ''eye-bleeding ultimate composer of intifadic and eruptive lung-outs.''   It turns out his parents were both communist party members in Israel and he was raised on a kibbutz.  'What is most interesting about this is how readily much of the Israeli Left has been to denounce the ambassador for defending Jewish dignity and to defend the anti-Semitic artist and his absolute right to produce such obscenity.   The far leftist daily Haaretz ran an editorial, several op-eds and lots of letters to the editor denouncing the ambassador as a bully and vandal and defending the piece of ''art.''   They were joined by many others on the Israeli Left. Suddenly ''artistic'' expression is absolutely protected.  Except the theater by the Ambassador is not.

'Some in the academic Left are also chiming in.  Here is a letter written by Prof. Amiram Goldblum, one of the founders and long-time leaders in Peace Now, circulated this week on the web  ''The Stockholm Bully''  The aggressive response of Mazel to what seems to be an idiotic artistic expression, will remain in public memory as another display of Israeli violence, deriving from 35 years of occupation. That is also the source of the governmental response, praising the bully rather than recalling him and replacing him ASAP.  Israel has enough rednecks in the academy, no need to have them as  diplomats. 'Amiram Goldblum, Ph.D. Cell Professor of Medicinal Chemistry School of Pharmacy, Hebrew University of Jerusalem ISRAEL 91120 email: amiram@vms.huji.ac.il   'Now it is interesting to place this sudden absolutism of the Left regarding artistic expression in context.  This is the very same Israeli Left  that insists that any poster that shows politicians the Left likes in unflattering manner, such as Yossi Beilin or Yossi Sarid wearing an Arab kafiya, should be grounds for prosecution for ''incitement.''   This is the same Left that cheered uncontrollably when Tatiana Suskin, the poor young woman who had made a poster of the Prophet Mohammed as a pig, was sentenced to a long prison term.  These are leftists who want pornography suppressed because it dishonors women.  This is the same Israeli Left that has campaigned to tear  down and bulldoze a memorial stone marker for Baruch Goldstein, who shot up the Mosque in Hebron.  And this is the Left that argues that T-shirts that read "Where there are no Arabs there is no Terrorism" should be jailed for "racism" and "incitement". 'In other words, by defending this nazi obscenity in Sweden, the Left is showing how openly anti-Semitic and anti-democratic it is.   Here is some more on the Jewish anti-Semites in Europe:

He will of course be denounced as a racist by the usual members of the Jews for a Second Holocaust.
