WHo says so, Sawz? I don't know anyone who doesn't think Muslims caused 9-11, or who thinks of Jews as murderers, so I am not at all sure what you're on about. The exception, of course is exactly the kind of hate literature you linked to, in which feelings of hatred are stirred up between Israelis and their neighbors by depicting the Israelis as murderous. DIfferent regions, different buttons.   And there have been times when they have been, but it has been equalled or exceeded by similar acts on the other side. Both factions have acted stupidly for yers. In Somalia, recently, with the reinstatement of Sharia law, a woman was buried up to her neck and then stoned to death by a crowd, as punishment for having indulged in adultery. But with very few exceptions, a depiction of Ms Palin in a Western cartoon being buried up to her neck in sand would not spark much outrage. It wouldn't push the buttons.
