MORE THAN A CARTOON
The cartoon that appears on the cover of this issue is far
more than a mere cartoon. It represents
a mindset, a culture, a way of life that is steeped in cruelty and savagery and
blood. It is the real face of Ishmael.
It is a cartoon that appeared in a major Jordanian
newspaper (Al Rei, August 8, 1990) following the brutal murder of
two youngsters in Jerusalem by Arabs who stabbed them tens of times and
mutilated their bodies. The cartoon,
which glorifies the deed, shows the two in the form of long-nosed,
Star-of-David-hatted Jews impaled on a bloody scimitar that makes up part of
the Arab name of Jerusalem, Al Kuds.
It is more than a cartoon.
It is the graphic and naked face of Ishmael, of the Arab mentality and
mindset, of an Islam-Araby that is at total odds with the moral values of a
civilization grounded in the Divine seven commandments of the children of
Noah. How easy, how obscene, for the
liberal-left and humanist twisters of morality to sit in the shadow of Lincoln
Center or the Golden Gate or Beverly Hills or Harvard Square or the salons of
elitism and discourse on a world they know nothing about. How gratifying to comfortably discourse on a
world they know nothing about. How gratifying to comfortably babble about
ethics and morality and humanism when it is so safe (so very safe) a theory,
and when it is the other person who is called upon to be “moral.”
How satisfying to the parlor-café liberal to bandy about the
phrases we all so love to rail against: “racism,” “intolerance,” ad
nauseum. The cartoon is the reality,
the liberal humanists are the caricature, living in their own plastic,
egotistical world. Unwilling to make
real sacrifices of money and body, they pay instead a huge lip tax to
“humanism” and “morality.”
The reality lies well without them. It exists in the fresh
graves of two young Jews of Jerusalem brutally and terribly murdered by a
people that glorifies the act with a cartoon of blood. One thinks back just a few years ago to the
steps of a Cairo government building, where lay the Foreign Minister of the
very same Jordan. He had just been shot
by a “Palestinian,” another cultural product of Islam-Araby. The “Palestinian,” having shot him, now
proceeded to drink his blood.
