The U.S. Presidential Candidates: Cartoons in the Arab Media


Posted: July 23, 2008

As part of ADL's ongoing monitoring of anti-Semitism in the Arab and Muslim media, this report documents recent cartoons on the theme of the U.S. presidential election campaign.

The American elections have provided an excuse for the Arab media to promulgate perverse, bigoted and age-old conspiracy theories that portray Israelis and Jews as controlling the candidates. Appearing in Arab and Muslim newspapers published in the Middle East and the Gulf countries, the cartoons and caricatures focus on four main themes which reflect a deeply rooted sentiment in the Arab world:


The close relationship between America and Israel and/or the Jews;
The influence of the Jewish lobby on American decision makers;
Jewish control of the Western media and economics;
The American administration's unwavering desire to satisfy Israel and American Jews.
The Arab media use these ideas to feed into another common theme: that Jewish/Israeli control of American politics and America's desire to cater to Jewish/Israeli demands is the cause of the Arab suffering and oppression.

The following is a collection of cartoons that appeared in the Arab and Muslim newspapers from March to July 2008.


Regional Examples

Palestinian Authority

What a horrible cess pool of satanism.

The first one from Jordon is pretty funny, look at the picture of Obama in the background, has him doing a gang sign in the shape of the star of david.

But you can tell a lot about a culture from their cartoons, thanks Canuck for revealing how hateful the arabs are.

both of you,semites,are from Filadelphia ,the city of brotherly love.

The khazars have no sense of humour.

Spell check. Like I care

im not the least bit religious, BUT, as soon as just ONE arab cartton depicts anything from the bible, or comes close to doing so, we need to obliterate the country it came from. thats how they talk about comics from the west, thats how we should play their game too. by their rules.

Well done and very accurate poltical cartoons.
