I find it funny how many people are making the "too late the cartoonists already hosed them all" jokes vs. the "here's your virgins" jokes. Combined with the various CH cartoons' references to "semen" and "babes" it gives me the unsettling impression that European cartoonists might actually get laid once in a while.

Wolinsky has a daughter, Cabu had a son who died before him, and Tignous -- who also worked for role-playing game magazines! -- has four children... I don't know about Honoré. Charb refused to have kids because of the death threats.

This morning there was chat about Latuff. I went to school, came home, and saw nearly 300 posts had been added to the thread. I didn't feel like all that, so I skipped to the last page. People are still arguing about Latuff. Well done, goons.

The problem with talking about Latuff and anti-semitism is that you'll never convince his fans for the exact same reason you never convince a Tea Partier that a badly photoshopped inbox picture of Obama as a witch doctor or pimp is racist.

Why don't you think photoshopping Obama into a witch doctor/pimp is racist? Even if we were to ignore the overtly racist elements of those depictions on their own, Obama grew up in Honolulu and Jakarta and spent his entire adult life in academia and politics. He has no cultural connections to African tribal culture or inner city crime, so any association with either would be based entirely on his skin color. That's the textbook definition of racism.

Cartoons like this this, and the fact that Netanyahu forced his way into the march even when asked specifically by Hollande not to attend, is not going to win Israel any sympathy points within Europe. How can some of these people be so far up their own rear end?

I'm glad the French-Jewish assemble Netanyahu decided to give his little fear-mongering speech to decided to tell him just what they thought of his "suggestion" by singing La Marseillaise.

I'm 100% sure that Kirschen and people like him unironically want anti-Semitic attacks to go through the roof in Europe because it'll drive aliyah. People becoming so terrified that they have to flee their home country to avoid getting murdered or having their property destroyed is worth it in his eyes for just a liiiiiittle more control over demographics.

So Jews are under threat in Europe so they should come to Israel? But according to Kirschen's comics Israel is constantly under threat from his overblown boogeyman.

The one time I actually agree with a Kirchen.
Of all the people killed in the attacks, there were only one group who was targeted due to their ethnicity, the jews. Every media outlet I've seen has heavily leaned on the cartoonists and asked themselves what this could mean for muslims in Europe, but there was an actual antisemitic attack. Antisemitic attacks have increased in France for a long time and record amounts of french jews are moving to Israel. The only thing people learned from the attacks are that free speech are under threat, not that the jews in France/Europe are being hunted down. I think that's important to point out. As much as the Charlie Hedbo attack were a symbol of the threat to free speech, the attack on the kocher supermarket were a symbol of the growing antisemitism in Europe.

EDIT: I don't agree that jews should move to Isreal, I agree that the jewish attacks in Paris has been overlooked.

I'm pretty sure the attack on the supermarket was attributable to the constant and eternal anti-semitism within radical islamism. That's a pretty separate issue from why more right wing and left wing non-radical islamists have been beating up Jews and loving up synagogues: stupid lefties who seem to think it's some kind of smart way to protest Israel, far right groups who are on the rise. etc.

DnD argument process:

3. proceed to attack straw man.

No, dumbass, that is not what I said. I was saying that some 'stupid lefties' are part of the rising tide of anti-semites. If you're a left wing anti-semite you're stupid by definition - any kind, really. Anti-semitism isn't the exclusive property of any one group in politics. There is such a thing as left anti-semitism. I think it's probably the least problematic form, but it's real.
