You know how it’s a common knowledge on the internet, that when someone disagrees in what somebody else has wrote, they call him a Nazi? Well, seems like Nazi label is even more popular among Jews who throw here back and forth whether its use is justified or not. It happened to be the case with the above pictured cartoon by Pat Oliphant which depicts current behavior of Jews in Israel – heartless and headless aggressors who push against people of Gaza at any cost. The Pat Oliphant Cartoon depicts a Jewish Star of David with angry fangs, propelled by Jewish soldier with headless actions pushing the Gaza civilian to the edge.
Devil and Jew never sleeps. The Pat Oliphant Cartoon was only published yesterday and today all mainstream media are full of complaints by the Jews. Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish rights organization based out of Los Angeles labels the political cartoon as anti-Semitic, comparing the Star of David with fangs to pre-holocaust Nazi imagery. It’s kind of like with Barack Obama the black president. One can’t point out his abuse of power or war crimes he happily commits, because you’re gonna end up getting labeled a racist. If you point out atrocities of Israeli Jews against civilians in Gaza, you’re gonna end up labeled a Nazi. Fuckers have themselves covered.
At the time of this post, the Pat Oliphant Cartoon can still be found on many mainstream websites, such as Yahoo. The distributors of the cartoon – Universal Press Syndicate, have not responded to the political pressure yet. Pat Oliphant is the Pulitzer Prize winner from 1967 and is one of world’s most syndicated editorial cartoonists. Born in Australia, Pat Oliphant (full name Patrick Bruce Oliphant) moved to the USA in 1964 and started working for The Denver Post. To this day, his political cartoons are on permanent display at the Library of Congress – that’s how good he is.
Cartoonists truly have it hard. There’s very little objectiveness when it comes to cartoons. Some parties are mocked non stop and it’s OK. Others get offended and drag their name calling through international waters. If you look at it closely, it’s always the extremists who shake fists and throw around threats when cartoon artists release their work that depicts unspoken truth. Lars Vilks’ Modog Cartoons had Al Qaeda after his head. Sean Delonas’ Dead Monkey Chimp Cartoon forced the New York Post to apologize. Now Pat Oliphant is being targeted by the Jews for his cartoon. That’s the point of cartoons. They point out what’s otherwise politically incorrect to say out loud. Go Pat Oliphant.
Terrorism is the war of the poor, and War is the terrorism of the rich. — Peter Ustinov
Lars Vilks is a Swedish cartoonist who drew the series of cartoons entitled “modog” portraying prophet Muhammad with a dog’s body.
Abu Omar al-Baghdadi – the leader of al-Quaeda in Iraq offered $100k bounty for the murder of Lars Vilks and additional $50k for Ulf Johansson, the chief editor of the Nerikes Allehanda where cartoons were published. al-Quaeda group further offered 50% bonus if Lars Vilks was “slaughtered like a lamb” – which means to have the throat cut.
Lars Vilks seems to be able to keep his cool and says: “It’s good to know how much one is worth”. Following the incident, another Swedish national daily paper – Dagens Nyheter republished the cartoon and its editor Thorbjörn Larsson said:
We live in a country where freedom of expression is not dictated by fundamentalists, nor by governments. To me, publishing it was the obvious thing to do.
al-Quaeda’s Abu Omar al-Baghdadi called Lars Vilks a criminal when he announced the $100k award be put on his head.
Swedish prime minister Fredrik Reinfeldt initiated talks with ambassadors of Muslim based countries in Sweden in an attempt to defuse the tension. Free press and the right of free speech and expression are not punishable by Swedish law.
There certainly are risks and consequences involved when one exercised their right to expression. Just as you have the right to speak, so do they have the right to disagree. This is the point of free speech. And that’s what western civilizations are (or should be) all about – fundamental freedoms, such as the aforementioned freedom of speech, as well as freedom of press, freedom of religion, freedom of peaceful assembly and so forth. This freedom of speech right certainly gets misused by whiny little bitches who use word “censorship” each time somebody exercises their right to object, but that’s not the point.
Abu Omar al-Baghdadi has made a reference to giant Swedish companies such as Ericcson, Scania, Volvo, Ikea, and Electrolux stating that al-Quaeda would strike the economy of these companies as part of their revenge against Lars Vilks’ cartoons. Now, if al-Quaeda said they were going to boycott Swedish products and companies, I could in a sense understand that as that is how you exercise your fundamental freedoms and you are entitled to choose who you do business with and who you don’t. But to put a price on the head of an artist???
