1. OK to be anti-semitic. Islamaphobic - NO WAY
Steven Gilbert ,   Teaneck   (04.19.12)
Put a Khaffiyah on the character and they' call you Islamophobic. Call him the "Prophet" and they'll kill you.
2. That would be funny if it wasn't so hateful.
Stan ,   USA   (04.19.12)
3. Nasty bit of work, some things like hatred don't change
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (04.19.12)
Goebbels would have loved this cartoon and might have awarded a Nazi medal to the "cartoonist". Anti-Jewish hatred, racism was his business . .
4. There has to come a day
Mike Lumish ,   Oakland, CA   (04.19.12)
when progressive-left Jews realize that they are supporting a political movement that acts directly against the general well-being of Jewish people. In the mean time: Israel Thrives http://israel-thrives.blogspot.com/
5. Can they be at least a bit more original?
Arad ,   Arad   (04.20.12)
It´s getting boring to see these kind of campaing. By the way, with UN being completely agresive toward Israel, it´s just stupid the whole idea
6. Occupy Wall Street Not Anti Semetic.
hyp3rcrav3 ,   Seattle, WA USA   (04.20.12)
I would like to write regarding the recent story headlined "US protest group posts anti-Semitic cartoon online". I can guarantee that this is not the official position of Occupy Wall Street. In fact I am unable to find the image so I am assumeing it has been removed by the administers of the facebook page.The NAZI philosophy is openly and repeatedly rejected by OWS. Occupy Wall Street has come under attack from NAZI groups since nearly its inception. An IRC chat room for OWS was attacked by a DDOS attack and its source was traced to an illegal NeoNazi group in Germany. Occupy Las Vegas had their web site hacked and links to their page were redirected to a US Nazi Party web site. Anti Semites get banned from the chats. The propaganda is exposed whenever it rears its ugly head, (Like that tripe "American Nightmare.") NAZIs are shuned by Occupy Wall Street. I do apologize that that image was posted but be sure it was as much an attack on OWS as it was on Jews. It is a means of making people misunderstand or ignore our message. Please don't judge the movement by the actions of a one or two psychos. hyp3rcrav3
7. #5, Originality.
Jacob ,   Holon, Israel   (04.20.12)
While the depiction of the jewish guy in the cartoon isn't that original, I don't think I've seen the use of the UN Logo as a steering wheel before or Obama's head as a stickshift. Those both seem original to me.
8. Sub-Human Savages. SUE THEM!!!
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (04.20.12)
This internet crap has to stop! Hate speech must be completely removed from all online sites and those who perpetuate such hatred held financially accountable or imprisoned. This is damaging our world, endangering lives and dumbing the population down to a level of knuckle-dragging mongrels.
9. Occupy Movement Is Out Of The Closet
Baruch ,   Houston/Israel   (04.20.12)
The language has been shifting and the targets getting more specific. The real tell tale is that the Jewish targets have been repeatedly attacked. This is not a left nor right movement this is the movement of mifits that gave rise to the Brown Shirts. It is nothing new that we have to look out for ourselves. Let's not be foolish and lend these ones any support at all. This type of imagery is no chump change and is well beyond a reasonable doubt, proof that the roots of the movment are anti Semitic. Expect more. These misfits really hate people who work hard to learn and earn, have a critical view of the world, and participate in a meaningful way in the community.
10. #4..Mike - Thanks, I went to the site, it's excellent
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (04.20.12)
informative and it's a "must read " for Jews to be alerted to what is happenning.
11. To number 6
Shimon ,   Poleg   (04.20.12)
How about an apology on the website and an expression of condemnation of Jew-Hatred and a statement of support of the Jewish people and their country Israel? Thought not! This group is lower than any Nazi group since these leftists actually are in denial of their overt racism!
12. Not a surprise from leftists
Carl ,   USA   (04.20.12)
They have gone full circle in their ideological beliefs to connect with naxis and Islamists when it comes to Jew-hatred and anti-zionism. Suggesting that Jews control the UN is just mind-bogglingly absurd when the bulk of what this organization does is to reflexively condemn only Israel among all nations on the planet!
13. tsk tsk: Don't get worked up, please!
Tom ,   USA   (04.20.12)
Remember the Muslim rage over the Danish Mohamed cartoons? Do you want to look like those raving idiots - because of a cartoon? Shrug and ignore it.
14. Group supported by leftist Jewish money
Tomas ,   NY   (04.20.12)
Accupy Wall Street is racist, anti-semitic group supported mostly by leftist Jewish money. You wonder what kind of mental disorder those leftist Jews have?
15. #14. Thomas: answer in the library
Tom ,   USA   (04.21.12)
Read Marx's "On the Jewish Question" -1843. The apotheosis of Jewish self hate which lives on in N.Y. C.
16. Not funny.
Rachel ,   United Kingdom   (03.10.13)
But whatever it is, "official" or not, it is still anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic, and the followers are constantly inciting anti-Israel hatred. The photograph of Obama at the Western Wall wearing a kippah with the question, "What do you think of our president?" raised so much hate that it is truly sickening. If the movement is indeed impartial then it needs some better security to prevent it being hacked, no?
