		<description>It took me about two minutes to find Egyptian cartoons where the Star of David is turned into a Swastika.  If you scroll through the cartoons, you will find several other examples.

Seems to me that these could be considered anti-judaism and downright offensive to any Jew.

Seems like a bit of hypocrisy.</description>

		<description>The ‘Danish cartoons’ were commissioned and published in September 2005. The commissioner/publisher (for more about them &amp; their Bilderberg links see here:
&lt;b&gt;http://thetruthserumblog.blogspot.com/2006/02/bilderberg-and-prophet-cartoons-plot.html&lt;/b&gt;), not content with the &#039;limited&#039; reaction in Denmark, decided to intensify his &lt;i&gt;campaign&lt;/i&gt; by publishing in Norway, and then by onward publishing the issue throughout Europe &amp; publicizing the issue in the Middle East. This re-publication was all based on the completely bogus explanation of expressing solidarity with the &lt;b&gt;free speech&lt;/b&gt; rights of their beleaguered Danish colleagues. Of course, &lt;b&gt;free speech&lt;/b&gt; was never the issue.

The cabal wanted to provoke the kind of violent protests in the Middle East that it felt would be useful in promoting anti-immigration policies in Europe, and in furthering their twisted political goals. They would have &lt;b&gt;kept&lt;/b&gt; publishing until they got the response they wanted.

From &lt;b&gt;http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HB07Ak03.html&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Free press? &lt;/b&gt;How come we hear so little from the same free press about European governments helping the US ferry people for &lt;i&gt;extraordinary rendition&lt;/i&gt; - on no fewer than 800 flights over four years, according to Amnesty International - to be tortured in places where it is legal to do so? How is it that nobody in the European &lt;b&gt;free press&lt;/b&gt; is talking much about the fact that Iran stopped any further discussion of its nuclear program because the three EU leaders who were parleying with them reneged on their side of the bargain, by not ensuring Iran security in the event of a foreign invasion?

We hear nothing from the &lt;b&gt;free press&lt;/b&gt; about the fact that the success of Hamas in the recent elections may have more to do with its schools and health clinics for beleaguered Palestinian communities (while the generous &#039;international community&#039; has abandoned them) than with its purported Islamic fundamentalism.

The &lt;b&gt;&#039;free&#039; media&lt;/b&gt; in the West do not bother to investigate the analogous events of September 11, 2001, or allegations that the Central Intelligence Agency itself may have been involved in the Bali bombings of 2002. It does not make any demands of the Bush administration to release the more than 1,700 pictures and videos of tortures and humiliations at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo that the Pentagon has kept away from the public eye.

We have to hear from &lt;b&gt;bloggers&lt;/b&gt; on the Internet about the US forces in Iraq kidnapping women and girls related to suspected insurgents. Needless to mention, no dead American soldiers are shown on the TV screens of the Western media (though there is no bar on showing those killed by suicide bombers in Baghdad). How often is it remembered, not to speak of responsibility taken for the fact, that genocidal UN sanctions prosecuted by the West killed more than a million innocent people in Iraq in the 1990s? The &lt;b&gt;free media&lt;/b&gt; in the West keep secret from the public the fact that the US has for years given asylum to proven terrorists such as Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada, wanted by Latin American governments for blowing up planes and suchlike. They are exempt from the &#039;war on terror&#039;.

Above all, the media do little to ask for the impeachment of the consummate liars and mass-murderers who occupy elected positions in more than one Western democracy today, even as they pretend to teach lessons in political morals to less fortunate countries.

&lt;b&gt;Free press&lt;/b&gt;? Or cowardly media eager to please the wealthy masters?</description>
