about politicians depict blood and gore everywhere...its part of his style.

At this very moment there is a cartoon in the British News paper the Guardian by a cartoonist named Steve Bell.This Steve Bell has posted numerous nasty racist and sick anti-Israeli cartoons.The Guardian would have to be the worst,when it comes to anything to do with Israel.Posters here should go on that sick website,and defend Israel there.

Yes, it looks vulgar and nasty. Nevertheless, in its symbolic fashion, it depicts nothing less than the absolute truth about Zionism.

No NGO, Academic or Trade Union help needed. It's been done by IDF and the conduct of YOUR politicians. It's not an 'image', it's REALITY.

The 'blood libel' was a sickening slander. And Scarfe's cartoon had nothing to do with it. Plenty of Palestinian blood has been spilled on Netanyahu's watch. Can no one mention that because of something that happened nine hundred years ago? The cartoon does not represent blood-drinking, a kidnapped child, or an occult ceremony, it is a critique of Netanyahu like any other editorial cartoon. This fake outrage is just another attempt to stifle criticism of Israel's policies by crying anti-semitism.

the vicious dehumanisation of jews that goes back for over a thousand years has been ingrained in the collective consciousness of the christian european populations and subsequently adopted by the later emerging muslim masses. let us not be fooled by the secular authors and caricaturists of present day europe. they are not in any way different from their barbaric ancestors who burned jews at the stake for the simple reason that they were jews.

Zionists have murdered thousands in the past ten years, no wonder the blood is oozing on those stupid walls you are building around you cavern

I've read a lot about the history of Jews in England but this is the first time that I've heard about all the Jews in Norwich being murdered. Can anyone confirm this "fact"?

Thank you for this well written article.

look up "William of Norwich" and "Hugh of Lincoln". Thus the need for the wall.

you and your supporters prove the difference between valid criticism and racism. You say "plenty of blood" without context. How much blood is plenty? In the past week, Hollande has slaughtered more black Africans than Arabs Israel killed in 10 years. Why? In an illegal war, Cameron and Sarkozy massacred more Libyans (mostly civilians) than Israel killed Arabs since 1973. Why did they do that? Israel kills very few people, mostly armed soldiers who attack her civilains, yet you criticize Israel. At the same time, others kill far more people, mostly civilians, for no reason and you are silent.

...society and state: the epicentre of the UNHOLY TRINITY phenomenon. Consisting of three elements in society that seemingly have little to do which one another, have come together: 1. classic anti-Semites 2. "Progressive" anti-Jewish racists 3. 7th century-based Islamists The three, obsessively, drive to single out Israel, the national home of the Jewish people, do demonize it, to de-legitimize it, to seek its very demise, precisely because it is the nation-state of a singled out people, that of the Jewish people. The UNHOLY TRINITY sunk a deep root in British society and has produced "classics" such as the Guardian, the BBC, the London Review of Books, the New Statesman, the Independent along with the thousands of pamphlets, articles, books, lectures and other interrupting activities of normal society, all by way of spewing hate at the Jewish people, its independent national home and its leaders. This is the face of the 21st century's anti-Semitism/anti-Jewish racism.

Check out the burning of the Jews of York in the Tower may be linked to that factual history of around the 1200's. Looks like we have an anti Israel raid with these comments. What shocks me is that Ynet allows them to be published thereby adding fuel to blood libels as these accusations by posters are clearly lies. I am a zionist and dedicated to Israel yet they censor my posts often enough by not publishing them. Yet they seem to have no qualms about publishing blood libels against us. Is Ynet becoming Ha'aretz the worthless rag that is the mouthpiece of our enemies?

Alex an old man, who posts because his day is not complete without fighting the enemies of his god, better known as satan. This man is consumed by Jew-Hatred. Perhaps ynet is too committed to the enemies point-of-view to not recognize this.

Google "Jews in Norwich" and read about William of Norwich. Many other comments here are just SOOO not worth responding.

you are right, but they all DESERVE IT. he depicted bashar al assad covered in the blood of his innocent people. now, how can anyone possibly compare what assad is doing to netanyahu. one has to be crazy to even draw a parallel. additionally, how can scarfe say that natanyahu is ethnically cleansing the palestinians (as depicted by his cartoon) when in fact, THE PALESTINIAN POPULATION IN BOTH ISRAEL, GAZA, AND THE WEST BANK HAS QUADRUPPLED SINCE 1948.

if israel and netanyahu are accused of ethnically cleansing the palestinians and committing genocide, THEN HOW COME THE PALESTINIAN POPULATION HAS QUADRUPLED SINCE 1948 AND DOUBLED SINCE 1967. i guess this israeli genocide against the palestinians kind of works in reverse. some genocide, ha? when the palestinian population explodes doubles year after year. i believe darfurians and syrians as well as africans and sudanese WOULD LOVE TO EXPERIENCE SUCH AN ISRAELI GENOCIDE, don't you think? nothing wrong with zionism. it is the self determination of the jews. simple. period. if you have anything against it and at the very same time accept the self determination of all other races and people except for the jews, then you are simply, yes, an antisemite. in your case, it is not zionism per say that you object to. it is your nasty catholic replacement theology that causes so much of your hate and animosity towards jews in general and towards israel as the nation of the jews. hameed aboughaze, iranian

That is the Jews land unlike you invaders of the US

call it what it is: Antisemitism. And make it against the law.

= O. Not a single jewish cartoonist exist in the world ? No, look to Arutz News cartoons. Netanyahu builds the wall, smiling. Before it arabs are protesting, with bloody hands,on hills of murdered israelis. " We demand freedom of massacres ! "

Now that Britain is over run with Islamist we are seeing more and more hatred towards Jews. How can we change the attitudes of those who hate us?

Something that happened 900 years ago?? Are you totally insane or just blinded by Jew-hatred?? Did u not hear of the Shoah.What planet do u live on??

Geoff perhaps you are not as well read as you think. The Jews of York committed mass suicide at Cliffords Tower in York rather than be burnt to death or face being executed by the towns folk. reason the blood libel spread North from Norwich.

Britain has nothing to do with the Arabs living in and around Israel. It has to do with a fine tradition of Jew hating, anti-Semitism, a historically ingrained, endemic and very much kicking British demonizing and punishment of the Jew because he is a Jew. Period !!! The so-called Palestinians should better look into their own courts and yards for answers like obstinance, lack of total respect of the other, absolute intransigence in dealing with anyone else, recourse to killing and destruction of public property and most of all, the ardent wish to obliterate the Jewish people under the false and criminal pretense that they are only Israelis.

Your mantras are getting boring. As they never have any basis in fact, why don't you invent some new ones?

I think it is the nature of being a satirist that you exaggerate to a certain extent. However , either way I can totally sympathise with Israelis feeling hurt as Israelis ( this is basic nationalism 101 for people living in small nations) however is it antisemitic ? No it is not. Go to Asian forums for similar expressions of hurt feelings and outraged nationalism among Koreans, Japanese, Chinese etc over perceived unfairness. They make you guys look like amateurs in the outraged feelings dept.

Haaretz is Hadash/Balad newspaper. Ynet is only Meretz far left newspaper. And contrary to Haaretz, Ynet is not against Jews serving in IDF.

1144 was the case of the blood libel in Norwich, which birthed the Christian cult St. William, named after the murdered boy. The cult had a large following in the area, which later contributed to the massacres in the next generations. 1189-90 saw multiple attacks on Jewish communities in England, the most widely known one being the York Massacre. Norwich, however, also saw a massacre of its Jewish community - the *sole* survivors were a few who managed to make it to the castle. All the others were brutally murdered. As part of constructing works for a shopping center in Norwich, workers found human remains of 17 people in the site of a medieval well, of them 11 children. Forensic scientific examination concluded that they were likely from that very massacre in 1190 - and all of them were related, likely from one extended family. This was featured in the BBC documentary series "History Cold Case". Kill the Jew, cut his throat, dump in the well... an all too common occurrence.
