Tom and Jerry and Jack and Will

I thought I'd seen another picture of Israel's Defense Secretary Peretz with covered and backward binoculars in the past, but I've been assured that the only other person to do that in the past is the current President of the United States.

One thing I remembered correctly though was that the idea of Tom and Jerry being a sign of Jewish conspiracy. Why it's resurfaced (at Instapundit and Roger L Simon for example) a year after it's initial appearance, I have no idea.

As one of Roger's commenters noted this story was originally at MEMRI.

But MEMRI tells us that those sinister Zionists weren't just spreading their influence through a cat and mouse game (incorrectly) attributed to Disney, but also through Jack and Will - that Captain Jack Sparrow and Will Turner - the Pirates of the Carribean (correctly) credited to Disney.

Having seen Dead Man's Chest, I can't say I recognized anything remotely Jewish about it. Ah but there's more.

"In 2004, Disney supported the Bush administration's expansionist policies, and refrained from screening the film Fahrenheit 9/11, which harshly criticized Bush's policy in attacking Iraq. This film, which won the Palme d'Or award at the Cannes film festival, became the bestselling documentary in the history of the film industry. Disney's move brought it nothing but disgrace.

This is lovely. The Iranians are citing Michael Moore's false claim that Disney refused to distribute Farenehit 9/11 out of deference to the Bush administration. (I doubt that it even bothers Moore that his own arguments are being appropriated by folks trying to show the world domination of the Jews.)

So remember Jews aren't just spreading their influence through Tom and Jerry, they're also doing it via Pirates of the Carribean.
