Official PA Daily demeans the Holocaust with horrifying cartoon

Cartoon published in the official PA daily

The cartoon is split into two halves, with the right half marked “1945” and colored gray to indicate a black-and-white photo, and the left half marked “2023.” In the center of the cartoon running from the 1945 half to the 2023 half is a grotesque depiction of a Jew with peot (Jewish traditional sidelocks) and a kippah (Jewish skullcap). The right side of the Jew in the 1945 half is dressed in a Nazi death camp prisoner uniform with a yellow Star of David badge, and he is running away from a massive fire. The left side of the Jew in 2023 is depicted as a “settler” with an assault rifle slung over his shoulder and carrying a torch to apparently burn Palestinians and Palestinian property.
