"When I Grow Up..." Cartoon Controversy

| 4 Comments

Reader RG Fulton pointed me at this cartoon from the Palm Beach Post, which is now up on CAIR's site as a protest project. Here's the cartoon:


I dunno, this seems to track quite well with survey data about Palestinian attitudes, what we read about incitement and education, and the pride expressed (with some few shining exceptions) at their childrens' murder-suicides.

As for the protest etc., here's what I told the Palm Beach Post:

Editor,

Outrage expressed against the "Kids and Parents" cartoon might be convincing, if it wasn't accompanied by such deafening silence about the deep evil of encouraging child suicide bombers. Organizations like CAIR, who called the convictions for the 1993 WTC bombing "a hate crime", denied Bin Laden's role in Sept. 11 until December of 2001, and support individuals and charities with links to Hamas, can go ahead and be offended. Their offense at the cartoon rather than the reality it represents tells us all we need to know.

If you also feel like sending your opinion to the Post, by all means email them!

This is regarding the cartoon of children "what i wanna be when i grow up".
Can we take the time to understand why the Palestinian child's vision is in fact not related to life - rather to the afterlife (death); probably because of the hoplessness of his life, and the powers that be are responsible for this tragic mission that has evolved for him.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
