Chazal have already said that this world is alma d’shikra (the world of falsehood). Saying it is alma d’chanufa (the world of hypocrisy) isn’t much of a stretch.

I think he misses the point entirely. The issue is not a First Amendment right for a politician like Mccain or anyone else for that matter, to express oneself in any way one wishes. I think the use of such bizarre cartoon steretypes of ANY sort by a jewish publication will only legitimize the worst sort of blood libel cartoons and graphic illustrations which have been used through the centuries to malign yidden. We should stay out of that particular form of mudslinging and slime. We should not engage at that childish and boorish level.

The Iranians are caucasian. They look like us. The word “Iran” means “Aryan”. That’s “Aryan” as in Hitler, Auschwitz and the Third Reich (which Iran tried to join but were “talked” out of it by the British and Soviet intelligence services).

Being “dan le-kaf zachus” towards those complaining, since the Iranians are created in Ha-Shem’s image, even their president, one can argue that no human should be compared to a monkey since by doing so we are making fun of an visage created in Ha-Shem’s image. However the people criticizing McCain don’t believe that.
