An Iranian scholar says that Tom and Jerry cartoons are a Jewish conspiracy

Professor Hasan Bolkhari is loonier than Ahmadinejad.

A web site reader has called my attention to this YouTube video of an Iranian scholar, Professor Hasan Bolkhari, explaining how Tom and Jerry cartoons are a Jewish conspiracy. Take a listen -- I couldn't stop laughing:

The lecture appeared on Iranian TV channel 4 on February 19, 2006. It was recorded and translated by MEMRI (The Middle East Media Research Institute). Here is MEMRI's transcript of the lecture:

"Hasan Bolkhari: There is a cartoon that children like. They like it very much, and so do adults - Tom and Jerry. ...

Some say that this creation by Walt Disney will be remembered forever. 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. ...

If you study European history, you will see who was the main power to hoard money and wealth, in the 19th century. In most cases, it is the Jews. Perhaps that was one of the reasons which caused Hitler to begin the anti-Semitic trend, and then the extensive propaganda about the crematoria began... Some of this is true. We do not deny all of it.

Watch Schindler's List. Every Jew was forced to wear a yellow star on his clothing. 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. ...

Read the history of the Jews in Europe. This ultimately led to Hitler's hatred and resentment. As it turns out, Hitler had behind-the-scene connections with the Protocols [of the Elders of Zion].

Tom and Jerry was made in order to display the exact opposite image. If you happen to watch this cartoon tomorrow, bear in mind the points I have just raised, and watch it from this perspective. The mouse is very clever and smart. Everything he does is so cute. He kicks the poor cat's ass. Yet this cruelty does not make you despise the mouse. He looks so nice, and he is so clever... This is exactly why some say it was meant to erase this image of mice from the minds of European children, and to show that the mouse is not dirty and has these traits.

Unfortunately, we have many such cases in Hollywood shows."

Tom and Jerry

Tom and Jerry

There are many factual errors with this:

Tom and Jerry cartoons are from Hanna-Barbera, not Walt Disney.

According to one web site, Walt Disney was a Congregationalist Christian, not a Jew.

There isn't a snowflake's chance in hell that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera had any of the lecturer's ideas in mind when they created the cartoon. The cartoons were created for entertainment.

If you'd like to see more of this kind of scintillating entertainment, here's another lecture by Hasan Bolkhari explaining how Jurassic Park is part of the Jewish Crusade against Islam.

As funny as this is, let's not get too smug about it. Remember that the politicians, journalists and analysts in Washington constantly say things about the Mideast that are just as moronic and ignorant as the things that Hasan Bolkhari said. (29-Mar-07) Permanent Link
