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.
