so can we see the cartoons or what?
The cartoons have nothing to do with Holocaust it seems, but propaganda against Israel and Jews (and the US while we're at it)...if that's not absolute insanity, I don't know what is - Dutch newspaper prints a cartoon about the prophet Mohammed - Yes it's Israel's and the Jews' fault, as a result we'll start a cartoon fair (not one cartoon but a fair) about the holocaust... And that's from a leader that adamantly denies the holocaust.
What scares me is that this guy is actually quite smart and people start following his insanity...
Here are some of the cartoons according to Yahoo news:
^ The statue of liberty with David's star on it's head
^ Something against the US obviously...
^ OH so THAT'S what the holocaust was about...damn I was confused...

Dude, haven't you learned by now.... EVERYTHING IS THE JEWS' FAULT! From the great depression to loseing your car keys or stubbing your toe. They are the great scapegoat of history.

Nothing is random.... I suggest you head down to the nearest diamond wholesaler and just start beating the guy behind the counter until he tells you who has the keys..... they all know each other and are all in cohoots so any jew is fair game.

but you do realize that it would be illegal to post them in canada under hate crime laws.
Thats the problem with laws that restrict freedom of speech in whats supposed to be a free country and thats exactly why this guy is holding this contest. Inevitably people in the west will display them and then end up going to jail exposing the hypocrisy that we live under.
i say we allow people to display both cartoons and then let the public decide whether or not its in good taste. Not some bureaucrat.

Jay have a look at the 3 cartoons published by Yahoo News above, they clearly have nothing to do with the Holocaust, while I'm sure that other's do.
I think the difference is that nobody will start a worldwide uprisizing, flipping cars, and riots...
The cartoon fair really doesn't have anything to do with freedom of speech - out of all places I highly doubt that Iran has any freedoms of speech - last time I remember they murdered a Canadian woman in jail, and only a few weeks ago shut down the organization for female rights in Iran - led by a Noble Prize winner
*EDIT*
I actually agree that some of our laws are not perfect I just don't think that this should be used as an example as to why they need to be changed...

this obviously isnt being used to promote our freedom of speech. He is doing this to try to demonstrate hypocrisy in western society. I think his point is that both cartoons should be banned. Whereas i would use the same arguements to demonstrate why they SHOULD NOT be banned at all.

Not only that, why didnt he make it a Jesus cartoon fair? He'd have offended WAY more people than with the Holocaust cartoon fair. But you see, his point is to just single out the Jews, period.
