If you’re unaware of the Iranian Holocaust cartoon contest, then you’ve probably never been here before. Go ahead and catch up here.
After 8 months and 1,193 drawings from 62 countries, a winner has been chosen. Moroccan cartoonist Abdellah Derkaoui, took first place with the cartoon shown here. It depicts a crane with a Star of David sign, putting up blocks making a wall separating the Muslim shrine, the Dome of the Rock, from Jerusalem. The wall has a gate, shown in the distance, that looks like one at the Auschwitz concentration camp, where Jews were incarcerated and killed.
For his hard work, Derkaoui received $US12,000 and bragging rights for a year as winner of a contest that targeted people who hadn’t even drawn the Muhammed caricatures in the first place.
What I find amusing is how the presenter, Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister Mohammad Hossein Saffar-Harandi, praised Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who has described the Holocaust as a "myth".
The holocaust is about as much of a myth as the moon landing. People claim it was filmed in a Hollywood studio. Well I guess all the WWII footage of the concentration camps was filmed there too. Oh, and all the documents that the Germans kept at the camps was forged as well.
I hope this is the last battle in this ignorant cartoon war.

WHat an amazing piece of art, I can not believe there are still people out there who do not believe the holocaust happened.
I wanted to make sure i commented on this subject.
I am enjoying your dicussion.
the myth isn’t that it didn’t happen. it’s that they were sold out by their own to further an agenda.
It might seem as though a franchise would be too expensive for you, but there
are some that will cost you little upfront so you can roll up your sleeves and dive right in. If you do decide to use the services provided by a company found on one of the
previously listed sites, it would be a good idea to leave them a review.
Tell the company you have a coupon before giving payments.
