On Thursday, Jewish community organization B'nai Brith Canada accused Satan -- who signs his work "da hoof" -- of depicting what looks like a pentagram, which was used on the Seal of Solomon.
"This rip-off is disgusting," said Frank Dimant, executive vice-president of B'nai Brith Canada. "It's the kind of classic caricature that we saw throughout the ages of Jews controlling government, Jews controlling banking institutions."
Satan comments "I will not be seeking defamation compensation as a professional courtesy to my zionist friends, despite working overtime and bending over backwards to manage the promotion of their agenda. "

OK, this much ado about nothing CRISIS begged for a parody! But poor Satan - much like Palestine, the zionists don't believe there is a place called Hell.

Frank Dimant: a caricature of intolerance
Cartoon draws ire of Jewish group
*************************************************************
...here it is straight from the horse's mouth...Frank's quote in the article.
"It's the kind of classic cartoon that we saw throughout the ages of Jews controlling government, Jews controlling banking institutions."said Frank Dimant
Is it just me or is this statement a little incriminating? Is there missing punctuation or is it a Freudian slip? Or just too darned interpretive? And are we living in those ages, currently? If so, I believe he forgot to mention media control and manipulation.
But you know it has got to be a totally ridiculous assertion by Mr. Dimant when anti-Semite opportunist Bernie Farber isn't on board and provides a level headed response. I wonder whose position on the cartoon embarrassed the other more, Bernie or Frank?
Canadian Jewish Congress backs cartoonist
"The Canadian Jewish Congress has come to the defence of a Quebec cartoonist accused of inserting anti-Semitic imagery into an illustration of Parliament Hill."
Bernie Farber, CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said cartoonist Guy Badeaux is "the opposite of an anti-Semite."
"Farber noted that Badeaux has worked with organizations like Cartooning For Peace to promote co-operation between Palestinians and Jewish people..."
Maybe in Frank's world, that was Badeaux's fas paux! Frank would be out of job if unity were to prevail!

According to O.J. Graham (York U.), the Star of David, a freemason symbol, is not what it is said to be.

A review of the book on Amazon.com
The Magen David/Star of David/Seal of Solomon/Hexagram is NOT of Jewish origin, but instead finds its origin in pagan idolatry towards Ashtoreth which was adopted by Israel's king Solomon in defiance of God's commandments.
The six pointed star was used in Gnostic and even Islamic artwork and symbolism before it came to use among Jews. It was adopted by Cabalists who got their beliefs from the earlier heretic Gnostics who believed the God of the Old Testament was evil and worshipped Lucifer. Issac Luria was a Cabalist who popularized it in the sixteenth century and it was used on a coat of arms by the banking family of Rothschild. Further on down the line the hexagram was utilized as the symbol for Zionism and became the emblem of the Israeli flag.
Much of the controversy surrounds the star's meaning. Jews claim that it was actually used by king David in the Bible, but in fact it may have been named after other Davids in history who were popular Jewish leaders. Also proposed is that the triangle pointing up represents God and the triangle pointing downward represents man. The symbolism is, however, a Cabalistic representation of the opposing forces (like the Eastern Yin Yang) that involves sexual congress and the loss of difference between male and female.
It can also be a simplification of the more complex symbol that represents the Zodiac. The hexagram has the code for the Beast of Revelation in it--6 sides clockwise, 6 counter-clockwise, and 6 sides that form a hexagon in the middle of the figure. As a note, the author points out that the number six represents imperfection in the Bible, as opposed to seven which represents the fullness of God and His creation.
Of course the book was deemed "anti-Semitic".
"O.J. Graham claims the book is about the six-pointed star, and its pagan roots, but he devotes considerable space to attacking Messianic Judaism, Zionism, and even Israel. In it he also attempts to prove why Israel is not a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. He waters down the suffering of the Jewish people and the holocaust. "
Some Wikipedia background on the Star of David origin
By modern times, the Shield of David hexagram has become a widely recognized symbol to represent the Jewish people. However the origins of this use are complex with obscure developments emerging since medieval times.
The name 'Shield of David' was used before the hexagram symbol was used. The phrase occurs independently as a Divine title in the Siddur, the traditional Jewish prayer book [whose text stabilized roughly around 1000 AD], where it poetically refers to the Divine protection of ancient King David and the anticipated restoration of his dynastic house.
Regarding the Jewish use of the hexagram symbol, early Jewish literature does not mention it. The Torah and the rest of the Bible (whose texts stabilized mostly c. 6th century BC), the Mishna (stabilized at the end of the 2nd century AD) and the rest of the Talmud (stabilized c. 6th century), all lack any reference to it.
Similarly the medieval scholars, including Rambam (Maimonides 12th century AD) and the kabbalist Ramban (Nachmanides 13th century), lack any reference. The Zohar (13th century), being the central document of Kabbalah, likewise lacks any reference to the hexagram despite the prominence of the symbolic meaning of six plus one.
In 1354, King of Bohemia Charles IV prescribed for the Jews of Prague a red flag with both David's shield and Solomon's seal, while the red flag with which the Jews met King Matthias of Hungary in the 15th century showed two pentagrams with two golden stars. The pentagram, therefore, may also have been used among the Jews as early as the year 1073.
Some Orthodox Jewish groups reject the use of the Jewish Star of David because of its association with magic. Neturei Karta and Satmar reject it because they associate it with Zionism.
The vast majority of Spanish and Portuguese Jews do not use the star either. This probably reflects the trends before the forced conversion in Portugal and also its use is Spain. Their symbols are connected with the survival from the Inquisition, like the bird Phoenix.
Star-of-David Nanoparticles Discovered by Israeli Researchers
"A new type of nanoparticle that resembles the six-pointed Star of David, a Jewish symbol which appears on the flag of Israel, has been discovered by researchers at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. " What a quinky-dink! The S of D is now embedded in our nano subconscious!

The Destruction of the Mamilla Cemetery: Desecration of a Sacred Site
The Ma’man Allah (Mamilla) Cemetery was the oldest Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem with graves dating back to the seventh century, comprised of 33 acres and tens of thousands of graves. After 1948 the Israeli ministry that maintained the site reassured world leaders that this important religious site would be cared for in perpetuity.
Less than fifteen years later, in the 1960s a park was built in part of the cemetery and a parking lot covered another part. These were followed by a school, football field, underground parking garage, and road. Electrical wires were laid in other sections.
The final few acres were dug up just before the beginning of Ramadan, in the middle of the night so that Israel can build the Museum of Tolerance in conjunction with the Simon Wiesenthal Center in the United States.

Israel again refuses to join nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
"Israel is not the only member state ... that has exercised its sovereign right not to accede to the NPT due to its national security considerations," Israel's Atomic Energy Commission chief Shaul Chorev said.
"Yet Israel is the only state that has been singled out, and is called upon to take a decision which is against its best national interests," he told the conference.

Ottawa pumped millions of dollars into training a Palestinian security force “to ensure that the PA [Palestinian Authority] maintains control of the West Bank against Hamas,” as Canadian ambassador to Israel, Jon Allen, was quoted as saying by the Canadian Jewish News.

To wrap this up...Interesting that a cartoonist might accidentally depict a Star of David, a symbol which possibly has little historic significance to Judaism and then the cartoonist is called an anti-Semite by an individual that is most likely a Ashkenazim Jew, with little or no Semite blood in them.
This individual has been well trained to create a media sensation from the mildest scent of anything "Semite" which comes wafting his way and turn it into a crisis on behalf of a political entity whose agenda is not to sincerely defend or prevent persecution of Jews, but to utilize that posturing as a justification of their criminal behaviour to achieve hegemony in the mid east.
I wonder if the Toronto Maple Leafs would pull their team logo because I strongly believe it defames and infringes upon the symbol of my national identitiy as a first generation Canadian?
