Israel's Annapolis Partners Show Off Peaceful Intentions With Vicious Anti-Semitism

The Oldest Hatred

Hey, remember that time when Bush got Olmert to agree to a peace conference by promising that only countries ready for normalization with Israel would be invited? And then a bunch of countries got invited who refused to let Jewish Israeli reporters talk to their ambassadors in DC and ran a bunch of vicious anti-Semitic cartoons in their government papers back home:

While Arab leaders trekked to Annapolis for the summit, Arab newspapers, many of them government-funded, have been running cartoons depicting Israel as violent and untrustworthy, according to a survey of Arab media conducted by the Anti-Defamation League. The cartoons often use anti-Semitic themes, such as depictions of ugly, greedy Jews in religious garb, to convey their messages. While some of the cartoons come from places with declared belligerent policies toward Israel, such as Syria and the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, others come from what the American government has called "moderate" states, such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar, and even government-funded newspapers in Jordan and Egypt... An example of classical anti-Semitic depictions came from Oman's Al-Watan paper, which published a November 16 cartoon showing a religiously-attired Jew standing behind a gagged and seated Uncle Sam and speaking in his stead to a crowd of Arab listeners.

Oh wait. That was right now. Good to see that the peace deals with Egypt and Jordan are working out so well. Getting that kind of peace with Saudi Arabia and Syria is definitely worth tearing Israel apart and voluntarily accepting blame for refusing to be wiped out in the Six Day War. Sign us up for two. Because it's so normal and peaceful, you see.
