I like that whenever this poo poo comes up the progressive forum starts edging closer and closer talking about poo poo like how 'it's in the best interests of jewish groups to be pro-israel' and how woah woah woah he didn't cal anyone a kike so you're being a little sensitive aren't you? So far we haven't ticked off any pussyfooting around with stuff like 'but no I'm just saying there ARE a lot of Jews in Hollywood sooo' but I assume the it's a matter of time before he makes a comic about how the goddamn jew media is manipulating Uncle Sam and then we can hear some of that.

This is acting like Latuff engages in Dees-level crap on any kind of regular basis, which he doesn't.

He's not a McCoy drawing big purple lips every other day. He didn't give the SWC guy in his :smug: cartoon a giant hooknose or pockets full of money or whatever racist thing he could have done.

This, though, is maybe my favorite post in the scale of 'legitimately doesn't understand anything' field, though. I agree, he's not drawing us sucking the blood out of Christian babies so really have we any right to complain?

I don't think Tinsley ever drew Obama as a slave talkin shoeshine boy either, thank god drunk duck isn't racist.

The most actually anti-Semitic Latuff cartoon I can think of is the one where, to illustrate his opinion that Abbas is too conciliatory toward Israel, he drew him as a Haredi Jew (complete with payos and black hat and beard and tallis etc) praying at the Wailing Wall. Although that one where he drew people who don't like him as Jewish neckbeards jerking off in their pants was pretty :stare:

Also:

hmmmm

There's a Guardian profile of Latuff in which he directly addresses charges of anti-semitism:

quote:

Not everyone has been so flattering. Since visiting the West Bank in 1999, Latuff has become known for his support of the Palestinian cause; some campaigners claim his work is antisemitic. "Part of the supposed 'evidence' for my antisemitism is the fact that I've used the Star of David, which is a symbol of Judaism," he says wearily. "But check all my artworks – you'll find that the Star of David is never drawn alone. It's always part of the Israeli flag. Yes, it's a religious motif, but in Israel it has been applied to a state symbol; and it's the institutions of the state – the politicians and the army – that I'm targeting. Including the flag of Israel in a cartoon is no more an attack on Judaism than including the flag of Turkey would be an attack on Islam."
There's a fairly balanced critique of Latuff by the CST (a British Jewish group) here, although some of the complaints are surely stretching it a bit - not every depiction of blood has to reference blood libel, surely?

Dees would have put Stars of David on everything in that image.

Tbf it reads more like 'Jewish Hollywood' being complicit in American militarism than a critique of Israel in any way, but I think he is definitely a believer in the idea of Jews controlling Hollywood and controlling output, which is edging towards Dees territory.

I guess that was why LF liked him so much. And to think I kept trying to find him okay because everyone here kept saying how he actually isn't antisemetic at all.

"Good American Guys vs Bad Arabs Guys" is a terrible movie and Comrade Latuff is correct to bring to our attention the Jewish Hollywood conspiracy that finances and directs this filth. Seriously though, loving hell Latuff. This is what I get for tuning in only from 2006 onwards. I can only hope that he's not this dumb any more.

In that other one I'm pretty sure Latuff isn't denying the use of zyklon-B, unless he also thinks the Waffen SS, Nazi party and Nuremberg were fictional.

Fake edit: Holy poo poo

quote:

Dear Mr. Baraka,

I became aware of controversy caused by your recent poem "Somebody Blew Up America", followed by allegations of anti-Semitism from conservative sectors of American society, including notorious Anti-Defamation League. I am writting you to express my solidarity and support.

Those people whom are pointing fingers at you are the same responsible for billions of dollars sent to Israel to carry out an immoral and illegal occupation of Palestinian territories. They want to commit war against Iraq because Saddam Hussein is not following resolutions from United Nations, but allow Ariel Sharon to keep defying all resolutions from U.N. demanding an end of occupation. Those people whom say you are anti-Semite are turning United States into United Police States, revoking civil rights, repressing peaceful demonstrations, suppressing freedom of speech.

In the matter of fact, Mr. Baraka, those people are the same that, in a not-so-far past, had fun hanging Black people in trees and electric poles. You are a Poet Laureate AND a Black man. Probably many people get stuck with this. Altought seen as "land of the free" we both know that United States is still a nation where a Black citizen can be tied up to a van and be dragged to death.

They are trying to lynch you, Mr. Baraka, as well as everyone who dare to raise a fist, a voice and a poem. Because they know you are too dangerous to the System, since you have the most powerful weapons: your art! But remember, when a regime need to use force as social control, is because are LOSING control. And everyday many other people are raising their fists, voices, poems, movies, songs, cartoons. They are growing daily and soon nobody will be able to stop them.

I leave to you a quote on today's anti-Semitism from Uri Avnery, a Jewish activist from major Israeli peace group Gush Shalom:

"Sharon's propaganda agents are pouring oil on the flames. Accusing all critics of his policy of being anti-Semites, they brand large communities with this mark. Many good people, who feel no hatred at all towards the Jews, but who detest the persecution of the Palestinians, are now called anti-Semites. Thus the sting is taken out of this word, giving it something approaching respectability"

You are among these good people, Mr. Baraka, definitely. Please, keep rubbing poems in faces of war mongers. Don't get down by false allegations of anti-Semitism. It's an old-fashion way of Israel warmongers to try to demoralize any criticism. Many people worldwide are now with you (including myself). Keep strong!

In solidarity,

Latuff
Amiri Baraka was attacked for writing a poem titled 'Somebody Blew Up America?', which contained the lines:

quote:

Who knew the World Trade Center was gonna get bombed
Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers
To stay home that day
Why did Sharon stay away?
[...]
Who know why Five Israelis was filming the explosion

And cracking they sides at the notion
Apparently it wasn't anti-Semitic because he said 'Israeli' instead of 'Jew'. Uhhhhhhhhh
