The Mideast monitoring and analysis organization CAMERA has published an analysis of the anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish cartoons of Cartoonist Pat Oliphant, accusing him of "crossing the line" in his depiction of the so-called "Israeli mole" affair, and in a legacy of other unfairly hostile sketches.
Oliphant weighed in with his visual verdict on the so-far-unsubstantiated claims of an Israeli Pentagon "mole" on August 30, three days after the allegations were first reported. He sketched Israel as a dog urinating on the leg Uncle Sam's, who is reading a newspaper headlined "Mole in the Pentagon" and exclaiming, "What? Again?!"
As is typical of Oliphant cartoons, the star of David symbolizes Israel. It is affixed to a dog, with its leg lifted, who blithely observes: "I do this only in friendship." In the corner of the cartoon, two miniature figures comment: "That's becoming a habit-stop" and "The dog needs training."
The media watchdog CAMERA provides a blistering analysis of Oliphant's history of Jew-baiting and Israel-bashing.
