Surprise: Goldstone's retraction spurred anti-Semitic cartoons in Arab world
Actually, this shouldn't surprise anyone. The Anti-Defamation League reports that Richard Goldstone's ostensible retraction of the report that bears his name has led to a round of anti-Semitic cartoons like the one above in the Arab world. “Just as the original report was celebrated by Arab cartoonists as ‘proof’ of the evil nature of Israel and Jews, so too has the decision by Judge Richard Goldstone to reconsider his findings inspired another round of hateful caricatures and stereotypes in the Arab media," Anti-Defamation League chairman Abraham Foxman said.
"Newspapers across the Arab world have responded to the Goldstone developments with a series of hideous caricatures, many of them viciously anti-Semitic.”
