Norwegian Cartoonist likens Olmert to Nazi

Meanwhile, the virus of anti-Semitism continues to conquer the Norwegian leftist 'elite'. This is arguably one of the sickest twists of the 'progressive' logic: accusing the Jewish leader of the crimes of none other than Hizbullah and painting him, who takes infinitely more precautions than his adversaries, as a blood-thirsty Nazi. Read the full story to see the actual caricature.

Invoking a scene from the film Schindler's List, one of Norway's largest newspapers recently published a political cartoon comparing Prime Minster Ehud Olmert to the infamous commander of a Nazi death camp who indiscriminately murdered Jews by firing at them at random from his balcony.

The caricature by political cartoonist Finn Graff appeared on July 10 in the Oslo daily Dagbladet. It has prompted outrage among the country's small Jewish community and led the Simon Weisenthal Center to submit a protest to the Norwegian government.

Leftists likening Jews to Nazis for having the chutzpah to, gasp, defend themselves is quite in fashion these days. They only Jew they approve of is a helpless and weak one.

Are there Jewish riots over the cartoon? I guess that civilized human beings don't do that kind of thing.

If this Norwegian cartoonist had a first hand recollection of his own country's recent history,it's unlikely that he'd be making such comparisons.

I think.

Perhaps I shouldn't jump to any conclusions about those who utter "Hitler" as easily as this clown seems to do.
