For days I've been reading about the Danish embassy being torched in Damascus, other embassies in Arab countries in danger, protests world-wide by Arabs and the European Union offices in Gaza being mobbed because of an offensive caricature of the Prophet Mohammad in a Danish newspaper where he was depcited wearing an explosives-laden turban. Yes, I'd say that is offensive. However, and this is a big "however" - the Arab newspapers have not been altogether innocent in their depiction of Jews. OK - it's sometimes fun to poke fun of political personalities. We all do that and laugh at them. That's what politicans are for. But they go beyond the funniness and have been printing vulgar, offensive, anti-semitic cartoons for years now. And none of us Jews have made much of a peep about it. Is this a bad case of what goes around comes around?

it's all pathetic...
Here in Europe is the same going on. I think that the cartoons are just a excuse, a motive for those terrible actions, they will always find a excuse!!
Yes, it's all pathetic.
I remember see-ing some cartoons, of the Haredi, depicted as Ants...from an Israeli source...i forget the website
is this true?
