The cartoon's headline : "After the election of the new President", and the Jew is saying: "We will start stirring up confusion in the world again!"

On the right - 1948; on the left - 2004


Al-Bayan, December 22, 2005


Al-Ittihad, October 27, 2004
The American in the middle is watching Bush and Kerry wrestling, saying (about the Jew): "He is laughing since he is the only one who knows who will win the elections"


Al-Ittihad, September 23, 2004
In Arabic, on the box: "Ballot box of the American elections". The Jew is sitting on the box, asking the American: "Who did you vote?"


Al-Ittihad, September 19, 2004
The voters are voting on one side "Bush" and on the other "Kerry", while Sharon is waiting for the results".


Al-Ittihad, August 28, 2004
On the left: "Elect Bush, the Republican Party's candidate"; on the right: "Elect Kerry, the Democratic Party's candidate". The man on the right is asking his friend: "Who do you think will win?" His friend is answering: "Sharon, of course".


Al-Ittihad, August 25, 2004
On the right: "Elect Bush, the Republican Party's candidate"; on the left: "Elect Kerry, the Democratic Party's candidate". In both of the signs, Sharon's picture appears.

In Arabic: "The Congress"


Al-Ittihad, June 14, 2004
The cartoon's headline: "The competition still continues". Bush is putting Stars of David in a ballot box of the Republican Party, while Kerry is putting Stars of David in a ballot box of the Democratic Party. Below: "The American elections".

The cartoon's headline: "The Oath." The "W" on the sleeve implies the swearing-in of President George W. Bush.

1. Somebody drew bush better

than Kerry. I don't really get their sense of humor.

[uppityperson]

3. I think it boils down to Jews and Israel are bad.

Editorial cartoons are interesting. I don't agree with them, but it shows an interesting mindset. Thank you for posting this (OP)

[Cha]

5. I wonder why they could possibly

think that? ;)

I wonder what Israel thinks of whomever is in charge selling 6 of our New York Ports to the UAE?

[JohnLocke]

8. No problem (nt).

[FreedomAngel82]

11. Not what I get

I get the bias Americans have towards Israel over other countries such as Iran and Palestine. They're showing how no matter who wins in the end Sharon will win the favor of both political parties and how nobody gives a damn about other countries like Palestine. In some of the others they believe the Jews rule the world and everything involved with it.

[uppityperson]

12. True and put much better than my quick note

They are saying that Jews rule the world rather than Jews are bad. Complaining that they rule the world is what I meant by being bad. Sorry. That and just a general jewish focus.

14. However you slice it,

those are some obnoxious fuckin' cartoons.

(Course, I think the scrawling bullshit Mike Ramirez draws for the LA Times is fuckin' obnoxious, too)

[Redstone]

2. Hey, those are great people in the UAE! Let's sell them our ports!

It's the least we can do for such nice folks.

9. And while they're over here, let's give them

free flying lessons too.

[sasquatch]

4. I wonder if they know that 90% of Jews voted for Kerry?

:shrug:

[greyl]

15. Note the date on the cartoons.

(The figure I'm finding is 75-77%, though)

6. I'm sure Lieberman would get a chuckle out of these

Wouldn't you, Joe? :sarcasm:

21. I hope you don't mean what I think you mean

It would be sad to see that sort of Anti-Semitism here ...

[Canuckistanian]

22. No such thing

I'm surprised at Holy Joe's support of the government that APPROVES this garbage.

[gordianot]

7. Huh? Trading stereotypes and obsessions.

Is there intelligent life on Earth?

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Aw, man, I think I'm gonna start a riot.

Arrrr! Grrrr!

[greyl]

16. I'm sure you could find radical cartoonists in every country

that has media for them. Are you arguing against the substance of these cartoons or against the entire UAE based on these cartoons?

[JohnLocke]

17. Al-Ittihad is a government-owned newspaper.

Al-Ittihad (United Arab Emirates)- a government daily, which is emphasizing the government's policy and its achievements in interior and foreign affairs. The paper is publishing all kinds of news related to the Arab and Muslim arena, having a wide network of correspondents in the Arab countries and the west. The paper often publishes exclusive and special reports concerning actual issues, mainly about Iraq and Lebanon. The paper is being published by Emirates Media (www.emi.ae); editor in-chief - 'Ali 'Abdallah Abu ar-Rish.(ADL)

[greyl]

18. I didn't know that.

Is a blue Star of David a political symbol(Israel's flag), or an ethnic or religious one for you?
(I'm not being a smart-ass, serious question.)

[Canuckistanian]

23. This is the big question

Is the whole of Israel and it's symbols a representation of Judaism or the Sovereign State of Israel?

[greyl]

19. A supporting article from the ADL

with additional cartoons:

[sandnsea]

20. Jews and Arabs don't get along

Do you have some other startling news you'd like to share?

And why are we supposed to support the right of cartoonists to draw Muhammed and not support the right to draw these??

And this has what to do with anything anyway. :shrug:

[JCMach1]

24. Al Ittihad is a tiny newspaper...

The two main (almost exclusive) newspapers are Gulfnews and Khaleej Times...

[sandnsea]

25. Which doesn't matter to me personally

It's their illegal actions and connections to terrorists that matter to me. It's what's been done that matters, not what's been printed in a newspaper.
