Today's example is a little different. Instead of publishing antisemitism from neo-Nazis, this Holocaust denial article was written by Dr. Sabir Abu Maryam, Secretary General of Palestine Foundation Pakistan.
The illustration is one of the entries in Iran's Holocaust Cartoon Contest showing a Jew sweeping the rubble of the Jerusalem he is destroying under a rug labeled "Holocast" [sic.]
It is pretty clear that this "pro-Palestinian activist" calls all Jews in history "Zionist" to avoid being called antisemitic:
The Holocaust refers to those people belonging to the Jewish religion, about whom the Zionists have propagated to the world on the basis of lies and deception that they were brutally murdered by the German Nazis between the years 1933 and 1945.Zionists called the Nazi killing of Jews a systematic state-sponsored massacre, and hence it is now referred to as the "Holocaust."The Zionists, who were responsible for starting the First World War in the world, have always made efforts to destabilize governments through riots in different countries around the world. The fall of the Ottoman Caliphate was also an example of the Zionist rebellion.After the First World War, there was a number of Jews in Germany. In the First World War, Germany had to suffer a lot, which was actually the Zionist movement under the guise of which the First World War was started. In fact, the Zionists wanted to burn the world in the fire of war and implement the plan of occupying Palestine only so that their influence in the future region would be established.
Iran insists that it is not anti-Jew. The regime's own actions prove otherwise. But even more so, its media - whether state-run or merely aligned with the state, as the Tehran Times is - is unabashedly antisemitic.
While the world roundly condemned former Iranian president Ahmadinejad's Holocaust denial, this explicit Jew-hatred in Iranian media today gets ignored. But it is there and it is systemic.
In this case, the link between "pro-Palestinian" and antisemitic is as clear as can be.
