Right On Pat


A Jewish human rights group is denouncing a nationally syndicated political cartoon on Gaza as anti-Semitic, likening its fanged Star of David to Nazi imagery before the Holocaust.
The cartoon by Pat Oliphant published Wednesday in newspapers across the United States depicts a goose-stepping uniformed figure wheeling the Jewish symbol as it menaces a small female figure labeled "Gaza."The Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish rights group with more than 400,000 members in the United States, said the cartoon is meant to denigrate and demonize Israel. The center called on media outlets to remove the cartoon from their Web sites.

which is why i'm posting it on my blog ...
