Latuff's just mad because Israel doesn't pay him the way Iran does.

Oh! Sorry! I forgot that was a forbidden fact here!

The point of the cartoon is still vaild...

05.10.2009 17:26

That's a distortion of the truth. He won some money, i think, in an Iranian cartoon competition; something I'm personally not happy about, but I still agree with the messages most of his cartoons display. The cartoonist might not be the most wholesome person in the world, but it isn't like hes an anti semitic neo nazi. Recent and past Israeli actions are still unjustified, no matter how much you personally attack the people who make the accusations.

Also, don't be one of those rediculous "theres no free speech on Indymedia" loonies, you have just as much right to argue your point as anyone else, its completely irrelevant if loads of people shoot you down (metaphorically ofcourse!) for it, and if they do don't pathetically retreat to your 'I demand free speech (which you already have here)' card.

That competition

05.10.2009 21:11

He won his money in the Holocaust Cartoon Competition, which was set up to (a) whine about the Muhammed cartoons, and (b) "challenge Western accounts of the Holocaust." You know, like the "International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust", ("The goal of the conference was to discuss the reality of the Nazis' extermination of Jews during World War II") and the Press TV article by Nicholas Kollerstrom, noted denier, which I cannot link to here or the post will be deleted. And he has taken money from this regime- a regime that also hangs gays and sexually active women, by the way. Think about that (if they let you read this post!)

Latuff cartoons here are always attacked by pro-Israeli posters, even when the cartoons aren't about Israel, in the same manner state propagandists. You have thought they'd have the sense to just ignore this one due it's title but they seem to have taken that as a personal challenge.

You won't find a cartoonist of any political persuasion, even in Tel Aviv, who isn't impressed with the quality and quantity of Latuff, and the audience he reaches. Cartoons are an art and cartoonists are artists, IM-UK is bettered by his drawings. If his critics genuinely believed that his cartoons don't deserve to be here then they are free to post better cartoons of their own. Typing snide complaints is far easier than cartooning though.

The message the Iranian cartoon competition sent to the rest of the world was 'Same rules apply'. We attacked their 'holy cows' -images of the Prophet, US troops pissing on the Koran - so they attacked ours, collective European guilt and sensitivity about the Shoah leading to laws imprisoning deniers of one of many genocides. Not many people do deny Rwanda or Cambodia happened though, and while it is ridicilous for any individual to deny any mass event as recent as the Shoah it is more ridiculous for a state to imprison people for what they believe.

"The War of Jenkins' Ear" is currently the most ridiculous excuse of a name given to any war ever in history, you can tell the governments were looking for any excuse for trouble to blame it on an ear. "The Cartoon War" is too ridiculous not to challenge. I see the papers are claiming Ahmadinejad was born Jewish - that could be be propaganda but either way the Jews really behind it! I recently found out the Pashtun consider themselves one of the lost tribes of Israel, which explains the war in Afghanistan too.

Seriously, name me one cartoonist of any religion or political persuasion who is dismissive of Latuff as an artist. A cartoon is a basic image trying to represent a complex idea, it is not just the art of drawing and the skill of rhetoric combined. If your criticisms of Latuff were valid, you would do so by cartoon and not by plain text smear.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.

Yet all Powers of obdurate Fate
Are o'ermatched by Indymedia UK;
For their Moving Finger cancels at Whim
Any Argument theyve lost that Day.

And, yes, dear reader, Carlos Latuff was paid thousands of pounds for winning an anti-Semitic cartoon contest from Iran; and no, reader, you are not allowed to know this, and you will be protected from this knowledge.

not critical enough of teh j0000z

06.10.2009 17:19

Hey Not Fitzgerald - Make it about Isreal and Zionists and they won't delete it! Here's one I made earlier:

Isreal is evil
yes it really is
the so called Zionists
with their so called country
that didn't even exist before 1948, for some reason, they must be evil
blah blah blah
dropped depleted plutonium and anthrax on the Palestinians
balh blah blah
poisoned the wells
blah blah blah
and own all the media
blah blah blah
they say you're antisemitic if you point out the truth about teh Zionists
that they eat babies and control the media
but I say - everyone's a semite in some convoluted way


There you go- one Indymedia-correct poem!

blah blah blah

The point of the cartoon is still vaild...

05.10.2009 17:26
That's a distortion of the truth. He won some money, i think, in an Iranian cartoon competition; something I'm personally not happy about, but I still agree with the messages most of his cartoons display. The cartoonist might not be the most wholesome person in the world, but it isn't like hes an anti semitic neo nazi. Recent and past Israeli actions are still unjustified, no matter how much you personally attack the people who make the accusations.

Also, don't be one of those rediculous "theres no free speech on Indymedia" loonies, you have just as much right to argue your point as anyone else, its completely irrelevant if loads of people shoot you down (metaphorically ofcourse!) for it, and if they do don't pathetically retreat to your 'I demand free speech (which you already have here)' card.

That competition

05.10.2009 21:11
He won his money in the Holocaust Cartoon Competition, which was set up to (a) whine about the Muhammed cartoons, and (b) "challenge Western accounts of the Holocaust." You know, like the "International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust", ("The goal of the conference was to discuss the reality of the Nazis' extermination of Jews during World War II") and the Press TV article by Nicholas Kollerstrom, noted denier, which I cannot link to here or the post will be deleted.

Israel Propaganda Machine - live!

05.10.2009 23:36
Latuff cartoons here are always attacked by pro-Israeli posters, even when the cartoons aren't about Israel, in the same manner state propagandists. You have thought they'd have the sense to just ignore this one due it's title but they seem to have taken that as a personal challenge.

You won't find a cartoonist of any political persuasion, even in Tel Aviv, who isn't impressed with the quality and quantity of Latuff, and the audience he reaches. Cartoons are an art and cartoonists are artists, IM-UK is bettered by his drawings. If his critics genuinely believed that his cartoons don't deserve to be here then they are free to post better cartoons of their own. Typing snide complaints is far easier than cartooning though.

The message the Iranian cartoon competition sent to the rest of the world was 'Same rules apply'. We attacked their 'holy cows' -images of the Prophet, US troops pissing on the Koran - so they attacked ours, collective European guilt and sensitivity about the Shoah leading to laws imprisoning deniers of one of many genocides. Not many people do deny Rwanda or Cambodia happened though, and while it is ridicilous for any individual to deny any mass event as recent as the Shoah it is more ridiculous for a state to imprison people for what they believe.

"The War of Jenkins' Ear" is currently the most ridiculous excuse of a name given to any war ever in history, you can tell the governments were looking for any excuse for trouble to blame it on an ear. "The Cartoon War" is too ridiculous not to challenge. I see the papers are claiming Ahmadinejad was born Jewish - that could be be propaganda but either way the Jews really behind it! I recently found out the Pashtun consider themselves one of the lost tribes of Israel, which explains the war in Afghanistan too.

Seriously, name me one cartoonist of any religion or political persuasion who is dismissive of Latuff as an artist. A cartoon is a basic image trying to represent a complex idea, it is not just the art of drawing and the skill of rhetoric combined. If your criticisms of Latuff were valid, you would do so by cartoon and not by plain text smear.

Latuff won thousands of pounds in a state-sponsored anti-Semitic cartoon contest. To most people, that says a lot. To you, he's a hero.

"If your criticisms of Latuff were valid, you would do so by cartoon and not by plain text smear."

Ha! And if you don't like a crap opera, you can only complain by singing an aria.

Latuff won thousands of pounds in a state-sponsored anti-Semitic cartoon contest. To most people, that says a lot. To you, he's a hero.

Hah!

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.

Yet all Powers of obdurate Fate
Are o'ermatched by Indymedia UK;
For their Moving Finger cancels at Whim
Any Argument theyve lost that Day.

And, yes, dear reader, Carlos Latuff was paid thousands of pounds for winning an anti-Semitic cartoon contest from Iran; and no, reader, you are not allowed to know this, and you will be protected from this knowledge.

not critical enough of teh j0000z

Hey Not Fitzgerald - Make it about Isreal and Zionists and they won't delete it! Here's one I made earlier:

Isreal is evil
yes it really is
the so called Zionists
with their so called country
that didn't even exist before 1948, for some reason, they must be evil
blah blah blah
dropped depleted plutonium and anthrax on the Palestinians
balh blah blah
poisoned the wells
blah blah blah
and own all the media
blah blah blah
they say you're antisemitic if you point out the truth about teh Zionists
that they eat babies and control the media
but I say - everyone's a semite in some convoluted way


There you go- one Indymedia-correct poem!

Did your clever little comment get hidden again?

Why don't people like, wake up to the fact that if a zionist don't like what you say, you is a anti semite

I mean, if you aren't going to give israel your 100% support, you must be a fascist or anti-semite or supporter of hitler

It is either zionism or hell for us
