Zapiro Would Be Feted at the Ghoulish Iranian Holocaust Cartoon-Fest

An Iranian cleric visits the Holocaust International Cartoon Exhibition in Tehran August 14, 2006.

UPI describes some of the entries on display at the exhibition

Entries include cartoons of Ariel Sharon, the incapacitated former Israeli prime minister, in an SS uniform...

It seems our very own Zapiro could have sent one of his own cartoon's into the exhibition - he has also depicted Ariel Sharon in an SS uniform. I think that this piece of Zaptrash may have even earned him the $12,000 first prize!

Also of note - attending the exhibition's opening was one of our "partners in peace", the Palestinian ambassador to Iran, Salah al-Zawawi.

Thats a bit unfair!

Melloo, I really don’t think so. Zapiro is a favourite among neo-Nazi hate sites as well. His caricatures of Israel share many similarities with the Nazi propaganda rag Der Stermer. With hindsight, I am sorry I didn’t enter that infamous cartoon of his Steve posted. I tell you he may actually have won.

I don't think Zapiro sent his own infamous cartoon in, however others would have done so for sure. I don't think the Iranians are too concerned with Western copyright/permission to exhibit laws! Zapiro's cartoons have been raved on and praised on Muslim extremist websites and his other anti-Israel cartoons have been praised by jihadists and neo-Nazis alike.

Can somebody find out if Zapiro actually won a prize for his infamous SS cartoon, is there a website/blog showing all the cartoons at the exhibition and which ones won prizes? Maybe somebody out there can do the detective work...
