Emad Hajjaj Responds To B’nai B’rith Charges Of Anti-Semitism



There's an intriguing article here about Jordanian cartoonist Emad Hajjaj responding to recent charges from B'nail B'rith that his work is virulently anti-Semitic. He gets off a nice crack about being Semitic himself. I've never thought of his work in that light, although of course some of the imagery is super-strong; I've also probably seen fewer than a hundred of his cartoons. The international perspective is also hard for me to process, in that I'm never quite sure how much my U.S. citizen's perspective on the ideal gentility of certain kinds of rhetoric is an indulgence made possible by the mostly lower stakes involved in what we have to discuss over here. It's also entirely possible I could be full of it, I'm not certain.

an Al-Jazeera article describes this as Hajjaj's, and it looks like one to me
