Talk:International Holocaust Cartoon Competition

we need a better picture for this article. Chavatshimshon 01:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't it make more sense for the winning cartoon to be put in the lead? 138.237.165.140 04:35, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think the cartoon needs to stay where it is. I don't get it though. I do find it ironic that the Muslims complained so much about the cartoons on the Jyllands newspaper controversy, and yet there isn't complaining by Jews here to remove this image.

How is that ironic? :-) I guess the Jews (notice the lumping of people into a homogenous group based on one characteristic) have a sense of humor. See Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoons Contest and Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan for example. --GunnarRene 01:51, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Alan Dershowitz claims

Dershowitz claims [1] that the 2nd prize in this competition went to a cartoon of him masturbating over dead leabanese. I had a look on the official site but dont see that particular cartoon. Is Dershowitz wrong?

Looks like hes right 2nd prize went to the artist who did the Dershowitz cartoon. Done by Latuff [2]

Surprised there isn't a link to the Muslim cartoon of Hitler in bed with Anne Frank. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.108.92.31 (talk) 11:08, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Category:Holocaust denial

Why is this article in Category:Holocaust denial? If any it should be in Category:The Holocaust or Category:Holocaust in popular culture. // Liftarn

confusing link

This link is in question:

• "Iran's Holocaust Cartoon Contest" --Official English International Website (parody from Holocaust Survivors and Remembrance Network)

It looks like a legitimate site - "Holocaust Survivors and Remembrance Network" - but this is just a site somebody set up randomly. It's no associated with any formal group, and has no authority to be "Official" in any way. Not to say that Wikipedia is censored, or that this matter is censored, but there's really no reason to link here, as far as I can tell, and that's the reason I've removed it. Yes it's inflammatory, offensive, etc. That's not necessarily a reason to move a useful or needed link. But this link seems unneeded and useless. If I'm wrong, explain why and add it back, but I see no need for it and believe it's misleading and doesn't merit inclusion. --Cheeser1 02:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Where are the cartoons?

Why are the cartoons not posted on Wikipedia like they are for Danish cartoons? 75.87.86.76 (talk) 21:34, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

wikipedia has double standards... they show all or atleast many of the danish cartoons but when it comes to iran's cartoons... none can be seen except one... you take all rights in the name of freedom of speech, but when others excercise those same rights, that becomes racism for you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.76.64.16 (talk) 12:46, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

That's actually a good question. I came on here to prove a point about the Muhammad cartoons being repeated simply for encyclopaedic purposes, and because of the WP:NPOV and WP:CENSOR]] [[policies of wikipedia (though counterbalanced by the WP:PROFANE ) and, much to my surprise, I found that there are no cartoons on here. These are double standards clearly in violation, and the cartoons ought to put back. Rlinfinity (talk) 01:34, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Contest poster

I found a contest poster on Daryl Cagle's blog, look for the entry dated "NOVEMBER 4, 2006". If you want it, I'll try to get permission. Reply here, I'm watching. Paradoctor (talk) 02:14, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

The lead image

Please take a look at the photo-montage . On the left hand side of this montage there is an image of the Holocaust. On the right hand side there's an image of West Bank security fence (Farmer and his animals alongside the security wall in Qalqilya). Only brainless antisemite could ever compare the two. In the middle of the montage is that brainless antisemite latuff caring his hate propaganda, antisemitic entry to the Holocaust denial cartoons competition. That [....] is listed on page 64 in appendix C ("Examples of Denial") of this report by the Simon Wiesenthal Center. No respectful site, no respectful publisher will ever publish that [....] with a purpose any other than to show how hateful and antisemitic it is. --Mbz1 (talk) 19:09, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

The oppression of any people is to be abhorred

I was not raised as a Jew, but was told early in my childhood that my last name is German (or an Ellis Island variation on a German name). Only after having lived for more than 40 years was I convinced by other people that my name is in fact one of Jewish origin. These other people did not bring this to my attention out of any sense of helpfulness, and in fact held some of the most delusional and ignorant beliefs about Jews in general and myself in particular.

I have never been one to deny the Holocaust. I find the evidence of its historic existence compelling -- and readily available. However, I have a somewhat harder time finding sources that discuss the Balfour Declarations at length, and their existence and nature were treated rather perfunctorily in my years of public education. Perhaps this is changing, or has changed already. It is all for the better that every significant moment of history be open to shared and public scrutiny, and yes, criticism, where it is warranted. No person or people ought to be above the judgement of History and historiography.

If you quote me on that, make damn sure you get it right. -- TheLastWordSword (talk) 17:26, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
