If this has so lttle importance as you and others have suggested and since you can draw, why don't you do a caricature of God sitting next to a comatose Ariel Sharon saying, " Damn it, I wasn't aiming for you. My global tracking is on the blink again." Then take that to the World Jewish Congress or a syndicated paper for print and see if you get a laugh.
It seems most people have missed the point. These cartoons were purposely commission to spark outrage which it has done. But since we aren't offended means that those offended shouldn't be either. It's just a cartoon right? If anyone of you had your mother in a cartoon with two big black guys banging her senseless while a rabbi is charging admission and the caption stated your mother saying, "I can just imagine how much of a turn on this must have been before desegregation" would you just say it's a cartoon? Who other than you might be offended? Would anyone have the right to be offended?
The cartoons were unprofessional, ignorant and immature. So is the reactionary violence. Condemning one without the other is juvenile.
