Western Cartoons

Jos Collignon publishes anti-semitic cartoons for the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant

 

An anti-Semitic political cartoon by the Dutchman Jos Collignon was published by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant on April 20, 2013. Collignon has provided cartoons three times a week for the newspaper since 1980.

In the cartoon, Israel and North Korea are compared regarding their possession of nuclear weapons. The cartoon, however, can be seen as clearly anti-Semitic because Collignon characterizes the Israeli as a Hasidic Jew, a secret sneak, presented with crooked nose, long beard in typical 19th century dress with black hat and long black clothes. In so doing, his depiction is reminiscent of the period of Nazi Germany when Julius Streicher made similar cartoons in the anti-Semitic publication of Der Sturmer, a favorite magazine of the European anti-Semites.

Britain’s Sunday Times publishes an anti-Semitic cartoon on International Holocaust Memorial Day

 

Gerald Scarfe, a respected cartoonist, revealed his hatred for Israel and the Jewish people in a cartoon appearing in Britain’s Sunday Times on Jan. 27, 2013, coinciding with the annual International Holocaust Memorial Day. This day was designated by the United Nations in 2005 as a yearly memorial day for the victims of the Holocaust - 6 million Jews and millions of other victims of Nazi Germany during World War II.

The cartoon by Gerald Scarfe is titled Israeli Elections Will Cementing Peace Continue? It depicts a hideous looking big-nosed PM of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu scowling as he waves a blood-covered trowel. He is laying bricks in a wall in which distraught-looking Palestinian men, women and children are trapped. The wall is cemented with the blood of those in the wall as blood is oozing from the cracks between the bricks.

Anti-Semitic Cartoon by Vauro Senesi ruled legitimate by Italian judge

In March 13, 2008, a caricature (see above) by Vauro Senisi of Italian Jewish politician,Fiamma Nirenstein was published in il manifesto, an Italian newspaper that calls itself communist. At the time, Fiamma Nirenstein was a candidate for parliament as a member of the center-right People of Freedom (PdL) party led by now former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Fiamma Nirenstein has been described by fighthatred.com as a patriot of Italy and a fighter against hate directed at Israel and the Jewish people.

The cartoon, titled "Monsters election" with the caption "Fiamma Frankenstein", depicted Nirenstein as a monster wearing a Star of David and the Fasces (Fascio littorio), which symbolizes fascism, and a campaign button of the People of Liberty political party. The hooked nose shown is typical of the iconography of anti-Semitic tradition that draws its origins from the "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

The caricature, which features the classic anti-Semitic portrayal of the Jewish stereotype, depicts an elderly Jewish man with a big nose and large beard wearing a hat with a Star of David and driving a car whose steering wheel is the United Nations emblem, and shifting gear using a stick shift knob in the image of the head of US President Barack Obama (see above).

Israel blocking Joseph and Mary at Christmas

This is a Geoff Olson cartoon titled “MARY AND JOSEPH, UPDATED” published in the Vancouver Courier on Dec. 23, 2011.

One can simply say that the cartoon is wrong since Christians are not prevented from reaching Bethlehem on Christmas – or at any other time. They go through a gate in the security fence.

Printed during World War II in the Belgium city of Kortrijk, this French language poster reads “Le complot juif contre l'Europe!” or “The Jewish conspiracy against Europe!”

Spain: Jews Above International Law

Referring back to early Nazi propaganda, this cartoon implies that Jews, and the state of Israel, are exempt from international law. The bionic hand hints at mass destruction as justified by religion-- without regards to humanity. Similar ideas were spread in the 1938 German children’s book Der Giftpilz, which consistently described the Jews as devilish monsters who lie and cheat because their religious texts encouraged them to do so.

In the caption, Dumont tells the two men, “Soyez les bienvenus mes amis!”, or “Welcome my friends!”
