Tom and Jewry?

Tom and Jerry cartoons are a Jewish plot.

At least, that's what Prof. Hasan Bolkhari, a cultural advisor to the Iranian Education Ministry, said.

According to the professor, "Tom and Jerry" was created to irradicate the association between mice and Jews created in the minds of Europeans by Hitler.
"If you happen to watch this cartoon tomorrow, bear in mind the points I have just raised," said Bolkhari, "and watch it from this perspective. The mouse is very clever and smart. Everything he does is so cute. He kicks the poor cat's a--. Yet this cruelty does not make you despise the mouse. He looks so nice, and he is so clever. ... This is exactly why some say it was meant to erase this image of mice from the minds of European children, and to show that the mouse is not dirty and has these traits."

And then there's Bugs Bunny, kicking the – er – anatomy of one Hassan, who seems to know only two words: "Hassan chop!"
