Proving that the best way to fight a lack of humor is with a sense of humor, an Israeli cartoonist has launched his own contest in response to an Iranian paper’s anti-semetic cartoon contest. Rather than go for the hackneyed response of running an anti-Iranian contest, Amitai Sandy is running his own Holocaust cartoon contest.

Amitai Sandy (29), graphic artist and publisher of Dimona Comix Publishing, from Tel-Aviv, Israel, has followed the unfolding of the “Muhammad cartoon-gate” events in amazement, until finally he came up with the right answer to all this insanity - and so he announced today the launch of a new anti-Semitic cartoons contest - this time drawn by Jews themselves!

“We’ll show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew hating cartoons ever published!” said Sandy “No Iranian will beat us on our home turf!”
