Israelis Object: These Political Cartoons Portray Us As "Bloodthirsty Monsters"

I've been playing around with an idea for a political cartoon about flu shots. While looking for some images I could use, I came across a website entitled the "Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at the Israel Intelligence Heritage & Commemoration Center (IICC)"

The introduction, in a large, bold, red font, complains:

"The hate industry: Hamas uses the Internet to disseminate anti-Semitic cartoons to Russian speaking target audiences. The prominent theme of the cartoons is that Israel and the Jews are bloodthirsty monsters engaged in a holocaust of the Palestinian people...and put great emphasis on the themes of comparing Jews and Nazis...and the claim that the Jews use the Holocaust to justify their own holocaust of the Palestinians"

The "Appendix" includes more than a dozen excellent political cartoons which, according to the website, "have appeared in the Russian version of Palestine-info (as of July 18, 2007), and were taken from the Iranian site, IranCartoon.ir."

I can see why they're concerned--the cartoons are very effective in making their points. You may have seen some of these, but I hadn't seen any of them.
