Spain - Antisemitic Cartoon in El Pais

The Spanish newspaper El Pais published a blatantly antisemitic cartoon accusing Jews of using their financial power to enable Israel to "violate...all human and international laws."

The cartoon, which features a stereotypical orthodox Jew, was drawn by the cartoonist Romeu.

The Romeu cartoon, published on June 29, shows a character who asks: "But how is Israel able to violate with total impunity all human and international laws?" The orthodox Jew answers: "It costs us a good amount of money."
