| ARAB PRESS MORE ANTI-SEMITIC THAN EVER Jerusalem Post By Hilary Leila Krieger Apr. 2, 2006 The Muhammad cartoon controversy greatly increased the amount of anti-Semitic material in Arab and Muslim newspapers, according to a report issued by the Anti-Defamation League over the weekend. The report highlighted cartoons and opinion pieces that demonized Jews, Israel and the Holocaust in media across the Arab world and in Iran.

To see such a crucial pivot point slip silently beneath the waves without the least hue and cry is simply disgusting. |
