re: #157 Buck

No, my argument is that when you add an exaggerated long nose to a Jewish leader AND place a sharp blood dripping weapon in the Jewish leaders hand AND show him using the blood of Palestinian women and children AND consider the long and well documented history of using the imagery of using Jewish victims blood in Antisemitic cartoons you have a strong combination of FACTS that lead me to believe that this is another example of an Antisemitic cartoon.

That’s not an argument, Buck. I know you think it is, but it’s an assertion. What you’re not dealing with is the greater similarity between this cartoon and the same cartoonists other cartoons, than between this cartoon and other antisemitic pictures.

That’s the fact you’re ignoring. In order to make a coherent argument, you have to deal with the fact that this guy portrayed other people with much longer noses than he gave Bibi, other people with much bigger ears, etc. Look at the way he portrayed Sarkozy, above.

Until you deal with the fact that this is the cartoonist’s style, you aren’t actually making an argument that relates to this cartoon.
