Israel complains about Cartoons.
26 July 2006

Israel's ambassador to Norway has complained to press regulators about a cartoon showing Israeli PM Ehud Olmert as a Nazi concentration camp commander.
Miryam Shomrat told the BBC the caricature in Oslo's Dagbladet newspaper went beyond free speech.
Ms Shomrat said it would be open to prosecution in some European countries.

The cartoon shows Mr Olmert standing on a balcony in a prison camp.
He is holding a sniper's rifle and a dead man is seen lying on the ground.

The drawing clearly alluded to the Hollywood film Schindler's List, in which a sadistic Nazi commander shoots Jewish prisoners for fun, according to Dagbladet.

In an interview with the BBC's Europe Today, she said however that Israel's protest could not be compared to the the Muslim protests over the publication in a Danish newspaper of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.

From now on the Beatles song Norwegian wood will be known as Morning wood in Isreal.

The new lyrics are




I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me...
She showed me her room, isn't it good, morning wood?

She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.

I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, "It's time for bed"

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn't it good, morning wood

When the embassies start burning, the comparison will be apt. :rolleyes:

Until I see Jews rioting in the street and holding up signs for Arabs to be killed, their protest isn't on the same level as the arabs riots over Muhammed cartoons.

No, no, you're all wrong. It was perfectly acceptable for the Muslims to burn buildings and kill people over the cartoons because it was offensive to them. Jews shouldn't even mutter one complaint about offensive cartoons because otherwise they'ld be intolerant.

That makes sense. Doesn't it?

That makes sense. Doesn't it?kinda...
actually Muslims can burn buildings and kill people for they are intolerant when it comes to religion.
Jews cannot say anything negative because they would then they would be called Intolerant by other people.

This news is old, and seeing as nothing has happened since it broke, I assume nothing will happen. And rightly so, people across the world just need to accept that sometimes people will offend them, and that there is no need to throw a huge fuss about it.

The cartoon (http://gfx.dagbladet.no/pub/artikkel/4/47/472/472965/Karikatur_503.jpg), for the curious among us.

You know, the Jewish Community should take it as a compliment... it shows the Western World thinks that they are mature enough to take something like that like sensible adults..

A splendid opportunity to compare the levels of civilisation of the Israeli's and the Arabs.

Expected result: Arabs get once again comfirmed for what they are, ie. the inhuman exception to the human race.
