The official Palestinian Authority daily published a cartoon that depicts Israel as a demonized religious Jew holding a knife dripping with blood.
The message of the cartoon is to criticize the United States. President Obama is shown reading a newspaper and reassures the Jew that the American media has not reported on the crime he must have committed with the bloodied knife.
Text on sleeve of Jew: “Israel”
Text on newspaper: “American media”
Obama to Jew (Israel) holding a knife dripping with blood:
“Don’t be afraid. There are no pictures or articles about you.”
The cartoon originally appeared in the Al-Khaleej newspaper (United Arab Emirates).
