The ADL(Anti-Defamation League) a pro-Israel defense organization published an article recently on the Middle Eastern Antisemitism. You can read the small article and view cartoons illustrating this so-called Antisemitism right here at the ADL.The defamation league does a great job of defaming the opinions espoused in these political cartoons, which for the most part I don't in the least consider to be antisemitic. Middle easterners are certainly not guiltless of being antisemitic. However, their points are perhaps more poignant and more humane than people care to acknowledge. The fact is if any of the presidential hopefuls were to come out against Israel and tell the truth about the horrifying crimes Israel has committed and the flagrantly unjust support that the United States has given to Israel to commit crimes against humanity with little restraint, then these candidates would be ousted. An unfortunate result of support a nation or a people because they have been discriminated against does not give them a free ride to commit the same acts against other people. These cartoons bring to light the obvious duality in our thinking, as if one people and nation has a right invade others because of a tragic past.
Certainly Israel is not the only responsible party for its acts, nor is it the only party guilty of crimes, but Israel as a state has certainly acted irresponsibly and without regard for human life or compassion for it.
I fail to understand how these cartoon do more than point out the obvious love affair of the United States with Israel for the mere fact that Jews inhabit Jerusalem. There is no antisemitism in admitting the power that this faction yields in American Politics.
