Western Cartoons

Jews Above the Law

This cartoon makes the allegation that Jews attack anyone they see as remotely critical of them, and employs a wealth of anti-Semitic stereotypes to make its point.

'The Jewish conspiracy against Europe!'

 

Printed during World War II in the Belgium city of Kortrijk, this French language poster reads “Le complot juif contre l'Europe!” or “The Jewish conspiracy against Europe!”

Spain: Jews Above International Law

Referring back to early Nazi propaganda, this cartoon implies that Jews, and the state of Israel, are exempt from international law. The bionic hand hints at mass destruction as justified by religion-- without regards to humanity. Similar ideas were spread in the 1938 German children’s book Der Giftpilz, which consistently described the Jews as devilish monsters who lie and cheat because their religious texts encouraged them to do so.

Quebec: Jews and Money

 

 

The cartoon above was featured in Quebec’s La Tribune. It depicts former Member of the National Assembly of Quebec (MNA) and leader of the Action démocratique du Québec Mario Dumont with dollar signs in his eyes. His hands are extended toward two, hook-nosed, yarmulke wearing, Jews with side curls.  All are classic anti-Semitic depictions of Jews.

In the caption, Dumont tells the two men, “Soyez les bienvenus mes amis!”, or “Welcome my friends!”

'The face of an anti-Semite'

Cartoon: ‘Jews Invoking Their Own Enemy”

 

This cartoon, featured on the openly anti-Semitic blog “Apostate III” illustrates a rabbi spray-painting a swastika on the wall of a synagogue.
