HAARETZ: American Jewish groups have denounced a "hideously anti-Semitic" cartoon on Israel, comparing it to cartoons in the 1930s that led up to the Holocaust.

The syndicated cartoon by Pat Oliphant published Wednesday in newspapers across the country depicts a giant goose-stepping uniformed figure wheeling a fanged Star of David that menaces a small female figure labeled "Gaza."

The Simon Wiesenthal Center, the group founded by a famed Nazi hunter which has more than 400,000 members in the United States, says the cartoon denigrates and demonizes Israel and mimics the Nazi propaganda. >>> By Haaretz Service and The Associated Press | Thursday, March 26, 2009
