Two weeks ago, a Norwegian newspaper published a cartoon of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as the infamous commander of a Nazi death camp who indiscriminately murdered Jews by firing at them at random from his balcony.
The caricature by political cartoonist Finn Graff appeared in the Oslo daily Dagbladet. Norway's small Jewish community was outraged and the Simon Weisenthal Center submitted a protest to the Norwegian government. Just half a year ago, Graff declared that he would never draw a cartoon of Muhammed out of "fear and respect." I guess that drawing cartoons of Jews is differernt in Graff's eyes.
This is saddening but unfortunately, not very surprising either.
Anyone think that Jews all over the world are going hold riots condemning the cartoon and calling for the death of the artist and editors responsible for publishing it?
