[QUOTE="ShadowSD:477317"]Interesting... neither of the cartoons shown or described were at all offensive or even about making fun of the holocaust. The first one is Israel with the letter "l" being a boot over the world, that has nothing to do with the holocaust and would be considered a witty and astute political cartoon in any democracy's newspaper. The other cartoon, described as "the Statue of Liberty holding a book on the Holocaust in its left hand and giving a Nazi-style salute with the other" is even more clever, suggesting there are political forces in America that use sympathy over the holocaust to simply turn around and oppress other races, which is unfortunately quite true. The cartoon may also subtley be making the point that despite the western characterization of the modern Arab-Israeli conflict as a genocidal conflict that has gone on for centuries, the truth is that Arabs and Jews co-existed peacefully for much of history previous to 1948, and the sentiment of vehement Anti-Semitism is actually a Western trait, not an Eastern one. Both points the cartoon is making are quite clever and neither deny the holocaust, in fact they actually rely on its existence to work. Those two cartoons are an example of free political speech, but will be buried until the exhibit's ridiculously stupid title "holocaust caricature". People like Ahmadinejad who want to quibble over whether two million died instead of six million are completely missing the point. The fact that the Holocaust happened should have morally guaranteed that Jews would not turn around and oppress other races. Thus the more the Jews were oppressed during the Holocaust, the sadder it is that they're validating that oppression by oppressing others. So minimizing the Holocaust is actually counterproductive for anybody who believes Israeli policies are unjust. But of course Iran's government is too dumb to see that... clearly their religious fundamentalists are just as stupid as ours. As I've said many times before, Ahmadinejad is their George W. Bush (speaking of which, catch the 60 minutes interview with Iran's President, he IS an Islamic Dubya, it's kind of freaky). [/QUOTE]
