ADL Israel Decries Cartoon Portrayals

The Anti-Defamation League office in Israel has issued a release drawing attention to portrayals of Israel in the Arab and Muslim press in light of recent instability in Gaza. In addition to the usual, unfortunate physical stereotypes are depictions of Jewish people as specifically manipulative of the current political situation. There are also the usual intimations of the United States manipulating the Israeli government.

These stories are pretty common if you track international cartooning issues for a long enough period. I don't suppose that makes them any less fortunate. Stories like it reached a fever pitch last summer during the conflict between Israel and Lebanon. Among other things, they underline the importance of editorial cartoons in print media in that region of the world.
