The U.S. Presidential Candidates: Cartoons In The Arab Media
Anti-Semitism in the Arab/Muslim World
Posted: July 23, 2008
As part of ADL’s ongoing monitoring of anti-Semitism in the Arab and Muslim media, this report documents recent cartoons on the theme of the U.S. presidential election campaign.
The American elections have provided an excuse for the Arab media to promulgate perverse, bigoted and age-old conspiracy theories that portray Israelis and Jews as controlling the candidates. Appearing in Arab and Muslim newspapers published in the Middle East and the Gulf countries, the cartoons and caricatures focus on four main themes which reflect a deeply rooted sentiment in the Arab world:
The close relationship between America and Israel and/or the Jews;
The influence of the Jewish lobby on American decision makers;
Jewish control of the Western media and economics;
The American administration’s unwavering desire to satisfy Israel and American Jews.
The Arab media use these ideas to feed into another common theme: that Jewish/Israeli control of American politics and America’s desire to cater to Jewish/Israeli demands is the cause of the Arab suffering and oppression.
The following is a collection of cartoons that appeared in the Arab and Muslim newspapers from March to July 2008.

The cartoon’s headline: “Learn about Israel…from ‘Behind the Fence.’”
Below, in Arabic: “Obama’s view.”

July 23rd, 2008 at 7:32 pmBut Obama is going to bring us all together. We’re going to stand on a hilltop together and sing We Are The World. Lions will lie down with lambs, we will beat our swords into ploughshares.
I guess someone in Arab world missed a meeting, didn’t get the memo, needs to listen to his voicemail. Obama has arrived, it’s a new world. Time to drop all that Jewish conspiracy stuff.

Even The Obamassiah is disrespected by the racist Jew-Haters of the Middle-East.

Either that, or inferring he’s “Up Israel’s ass” …
Either way, it proves a rather disturbing fetish the Arab world has for ass penetration.
