PA Papers Ridicule U.S.
Arutz Sheva ^ | 9-12-02

Posted on 09/12/2002 5:10:51 AM PDT by SJackson

The official Palestinian Authority daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida chose the anniversary of the Moslem 9/11 attacks on the United States to print two political cartoons ridiculing the U.S. The first cartoon shows the date “September 11” attached to a pair of legs chasing Uncle Sam as he runs away in fright. The second one depicts the US response to 9/11 as immoral by portraying the Twin Towers over a mass of dead bodies - supposed “victims of American imperialism.” The famous date is shown by the word “September” and the towers in the form of number 11. One of the towers has an arrow pointing downwards, referring to "Rights of Nations.” The other tower has an up-arrow with text reading “American Hegemony.”

This is not the first time that the PA official daily has used political cartoons to ridicule and spew hatred against the United States. Last week, for recent instance, the paper printed political cartoons depicting George Bush and Tony Blair as Nazis and portrayed the US war on terror as a cover for American policy aimed at controlling Arab oil.

I hope Israel builds 20 times as many settlements as there are now.

I am so sick of their lies! And we hope to bring about a nation for them?!

If only we *had* been running...straight for our bomber planes!

I wonder how they feel about the $500 million dollars in US aid they have received over the past few years...

They may be contrasting it to the 98 billion we've given Israel.

Yeah, we've really got our nerve, giving more money to the people who are not trying to kill us.
