Antisemitic cartoon contest - we have a winner!

Well it's been a tense few months since my previous article on the contest, but I'm pleased to say that the results are in, the judges are happy and we have a decision!

The winner of Iran's "Gratuitous Jew-Hate" cartoon contest is....Mr Abdollah Derkaoui from Morocco.

If gambling wasn't haram, I reckon you'd have got good odds at any Tehran bookies for Abdollah's entry. Most people's money would surely have been on one of the many entries featuring Jewish vampires.

But perhaps such classical motifs are now considered too "obvious", or maybe even a little passé, in the increasingly sophisticated world of Judeophobia.

The cognoscenti were possibly rooting for this hilarious cartoon of Adolf Hitler raping Anne Frank.

In fact, the judges surprised everyone and went for Derkaoui's more subtle entry -a work featuring Israel's infamous security barrier being compared to Auschwitz.

Although the wall in question has saved hundreds of lives since its construction, I doubt the cartoon was picked for its irony.

More likely, they just sifted through the mountains of racist crap until they came to an entry that would appeal to political antisemites sorry - my bad - "antizionists" in the West.

However, on announcing the winners, Iranian Culture Minister Mohammad Hossein Saffar-Harandi couldn't resist adding

"The Holocaust is a myth and this issue has finally made waves thanks to the action of President (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad in daring to express himself on the subject and break the Holocaust taboo"
The contest was held in retaliation to the Danish Mohammed cartoons, but rather than asking people to contribute work derogating Danish heroes, bacon, little bronze mermaids or Norse gods, participants were invited to send in their "Holocaust Funnies".

You'd have to have black belt in radical Islamism to see the connection. Certainly Denmark lost Jews in the holocaust, but these days the country is overwhelmingly Lutheran.

Perhaps, I'm looking at this too deeply. The organizers said they chose the holocaust angle for its "shock value". Sure - it was just "Springtime for Hitler" reworked. The Iranian regime aren't just a bunch antisemitic motherfuckers.

"...a gay romp with Adolf and Eva in Berchtesgaden . Fantastic!"

Finally, a big "mazeltov" to Derkaoui, pockets $12,000 for his work. I wonder what he'll spend it on.
