Mr. Graff, Who Is Most Like The Nazis ?

Invoking a scene from the film Schindler's List, one of Norway's largest newspapers recently published a political cartoon comparing Prime Minster Ehud Olmert to the infamous commander of a Nazi death camp who indiscriminately murdered Jews by firing at them at random from his balcony.

The caricature by political cartoonist Finn Graff appeared on July 10 in the Oslo daily Dagbladet. It has prompted outrage among the country's small Jewish community and led the Simon Weisenthal Center to submit a protest to the Norwegian government. In the cartoon, Olmert is likened to SS Major Amon Goeth, the infamous commandant of the Plaszow death camp outside of Krakow, Poland, who was convicted of mass murder in 1946 and hanged for his crimes.

It appears that Herr Graff of Oslo had failing grades in history and has forgotten what really happened. Olmert and the Jews have to fight this:

So that this does not happen again:


My Father and his friends had to go to Europe to fight because of these attrocites inflicted on the Jewish people by the Nazi Army.


Olmert is not the terorist. Mr. Graff and his ilk cannot recognize terror in their midst. Perhaps that's is why Norway remained a neutral country throughout part of WWll. Graff may recall that it was in April of last year that Norway issued an official apology to it's women that had sexual relations with Nazi soldiers. Gosh, that's only 60 years after the fact. I'd say it's a pretty lengthy time to hold a grudge.
