Iran Says Tom & Jerry Zionist Plot

Following in the footsteps of Tele-Tubbies and Sponge Bob Square Pants, Tom & Jerry has now entered the hallowed pantheon of subversive "toons."

Hasan Bolkhari, Iranian “mass media expert” and cultural advisor to the Iranian Education Ministry has come to the conclusion that:

The Jewish Walt Disney Company gained international fame with this cartoon. It is still shown throughout the world. This cartoon maintains its status because of the cute antics of the cat and mouse – especially the mouse.

Some say that the main reason for making this very appealing cartoon was to erase a certain derogatory term that was prevalent in Europe . . .

(In Hitler's Germany the) Jews were degraded and termed “dirty mice.” Tom and Jerry was made in order to change the Europeans’ perception of mice. One of terms used was “dirty mice.”

I’d like to tell you that... It should be noted that mice are very cunning...and dirty . . .

No ethnic group or people operates in such a clandestine manner as the Jews . . .

You can read the whole thing at MEMRI TV.

PS: T & J were, of course, an MGM production and not Disney.
