So, what we have here is a Jew, drawn with exaggerated features (in classic Anti-Semitic fashion), dragging a reluctant cowboy, representing America, over a sheet of paper entitled "Human Rights." The meaning is obvious and the implications ironic.
This is a depiction of the Grand Conspiracy (Jews using America to destroy Goodness), of which many of the smaller theories (e.g. 9-11, 7-7, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, etc.) are only a part.
As the premier Pan-Arab news outlet, I think it's alarming that Al-Jazeera publishes this kind of incendiary material. Imagine the BBC or the New York Times publishing such commentary. But conspiracy theories are a major part of the way that Middle Easterners explain the world (read here), whereas they are isolated to the fringe in most Western societies.
I would like to begin a discussion on World View.
What are some major components of your world view? What aspects would people in other cultures find agreeable? What would they disagree with?
And finally, what importance, if any does world view in determining the success of an individual? How about for a culture?
