[Foundation-l] Racism in Commons

[teun spaans]

May I assume that you oppose the cartoons at the bottom of the gallery?

It seems to me that the cartoons ridicule Sharon, not the Jewish people.
Though I can imagine that you take offence to these cartoons, i doubt you
can say they are racist, perhaps with the exception of the first, "Stop the
Zionazi hero"

kind regards,
