Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better ...
I
n one of my favorite moments in the HBO show "Curb Your Enthusiasm," somebody calls Larry David a "self-hating Jew" because he is whistling a melody by the anti-semitic composer Richard Wagner. David is incensed, and says, "I may hate myself, but it has nothing to do with being Jewish!"
Along those lines--well, kind of--an Isareli website, seeking to prove that no Arab can hate a Jew as well as a Jew can, is sponsoring an Israeli anti-semitic cartoon contest. (This in response to the Iranian newspaper that's sponsoring a best-cartoon-of-the-Holocaust contest.)
“We’ll show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew hating cartoons ever published!” says the creator of the contest. “No Iranian will beat us on our home turf!”
Now that's funny.
