Here's the cartoon and what Raw Story has on this.
The latest cartoon by the most widely syndicated political cartoonist in the world has raised the ire of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which is dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism.The ADL's director called the syndicated cartoon, published Wednesday and reprinted below, "hideously anti-Semitic."
"Pat Oliphant's outlandish and offensive use of the Star of David in combination with Nazi-like imagery is hideously anti-Semitic," Abraham Foxman said in a statement released Wednesday. "It employs Nazi imagery by portraying Israel as a jack-booted, goose-stepping headless apparition. The implication is of an Israeli policy without a head or a heart."
As of late Wednesday, Oliphant had not responded publicly to the ADL's criticism of the cartoon.
Israel in late December launched a three-week offensive in Gaza which left over 1,300 Palestinians dead and countless of homes destroyed. The offensive was a retaliation for Palestine rocket attacks on Israeli territory. Rocket attacks from Gaza and Israeli military responses have occurred sporadically since the end of the offensive.
On Monday, a United Nations expert called called for a probe to assess if the Israeli forces could differentiate between civilian and military targets in Gaza. A U.S. State Department spokesman called that official's views "biased."
Israel thinks they can do what they want to the Palestinians and no one is supposed to say or do anything against their terrorist actions.
They have used Palestinian children as human shields along with Red Crescent ambulances and rescue workers. They have fired upon these same ambulances and rescue workers, killing several. They have harassed Palestinian fishing boats, and destroyed their nets.
Left I on the News has much more on this subject on his blog. The following are links to posts he has put up. I highly suggest you go read them and find out just what the Israelis are doing, and see what the MSM and our own government are not telling us.
Anti-semitism
The Israeli use of "human shields"
The "most moral" military
Quote of the Day
How long has this been going on?
There is no two-state solution
Harassment at sea, real and surreal
More "unhelpful" Israeli actions
It's time the rest of the world woke up and realized that the Israeli Army, Navy, Air Force and government has been committing terrorists act against the Palestinians for a long time. This must stop and the government of the United States must stop supporting Israel and it's terrorists activities.
UPDATE: Here's a little more about those radical extremists who want to murder other human beings and quote scripture verses justifying such. Click it and go read.

I'm tired of Israel's excuses for stealing land and killing innocent people. What gives Israel the right to set up communities within the Palestinian community and then claim the land for Israel? That's wrong. The money that we send to Israel could be better spent to help pay for health care for Americans instead of death sentences for Palestinians.
Hi Cats r Flyfishn!
Some, if not all, of those tax dollars that are going to Israel to kill Palestinians could be given to those same Palestinians to help take care of the health and well being of their people.
Good post!
One of the problems with being an old fart is that news about Israel acting like Nazis isn't news. The government there has a long record of that sort of behavior and it is shameful that our own United States government hasn't got the balls to oppose them.
I can remember being pro-Israel back when I was an ignorant, ill-informed teen-aged Florida cracker. Now with years and years of reading, watching film, and hearing radio broadcasts about the continuing shit storm Israel has blown all over the Palestinians, I am a bit better informed. I still detest the bombers, but I have come to detest the Israel government equally as much.
If Israel isn't reined in, they will continue to kill and steal the lands of non-jews. It is way past time for that to stop.
I hear ya, jeg43.
I remember being in High School and watching the stuff from the Six Day War. I was pulling for the Israelis to 'beat them Arabs'. Even did a term paper on them.
How things have changed with the way I look at them now.
