Western Wall (Street)
Jews love money and have big noses. If you thought these false, inappropriate, anti-Semitic stereotypes disappeared, think again. In Iran, a comic portraying Jews praying to Wall Street (made to look like the Western Wall; click all the way through to see the photo) claimed first prize in a "International Wall Street Downfall Cartoon Festival" sponsored by the Fars News Agency. Radio Liberty Reports:
A cartoon by an Iranian illustrator that portrays Jews worshipping the New York Stock Exchange has won first prize in the inaugural "International Wall Street Downfall Cartoon Festival."
The festival was co-sponsored by Iran's semiofficial Fars news agency in an attempt to show solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement and "help people in the United States take their message out to the world."
25,000 Jews currently live in Iran; are they running Wall Street while under US sanctions?
