The list of Participants in
International Cartoonet Festival
About Danish Cartoons and Holocaust
International cartoon contest-Holocaust
Administered by Hamshahri Daily with the Cooperation
of Iran Cartoon "International Cartoon
Holocaust
West's reaction towards holocaust creates serious questions
 in the mind of world's peoples, such as:
1) Why discussion is not allowed concerning
holocaust, if it is a historical fact.
2) The holocaust had been finished and
nothing can be done for it. But the bigger holocausts are happening in Iraq,
Palestine and Afghanistan and we can protect their victims.
3) Why suppressed and suffered people of Palestine living hundreds kilometer
 away from Poland and Germany should pay the price for holocaust?

 

To whom it may concern:
Having participated in the Irancartoon-Hamshari contest, we would like to affirm
that we are not anti-Semitic and do not agree with the way this contest
is being used and manipulated by the Iranian government as a revisionist action,
 which purpose is to incite Israel and the US.

We are professional cartoonists and have participated in many other international cartoon contests.
As artists, we are deeply concerned about various issues. The recent war in
the Middle East is one of them. (the heavy attacks by Tsahal
(Israel Defense Forces) in Palestine and Lebanon, and the response of the Hezbollah...)

When we participate in a cartoon contest we usually accept its rules.
 The organizers usually have a professional ethic
(they do not change the rules), independence and they respect the ideas of
the cartoonists. But unfortunately, we noticed that the Iranian Cartoon House
used our trust for the Iranian government's benefit. The Iranian government states:
 "the Holocaust on Jews never existed". For us this is a historical fact
and we want to make clear that we are against all kind of revisionism, anti-Semitism,
 racism or xenophobia. We do not at all deny that millions of Jews were horribly murdered by the Nazis.

As cartoonists, our aim is not to revise the historical record. That is the realm of historians.
 On the other hand we certainly do not deny our responsibility concerning
 the personal work we created relating to the contest initially titled
"What is the Limit of Western Freedom of _Expression?".
We would like to insist on the fact that our intention was not to mock in a
 funny way the Holocaust. Our drawings are political and aim to arouse reflection in the people’s mind.

All of us are anti-war proponents, and most of us democratically support the
"weakest and oppressed ones" and thus draw in their favor.
That's why we supported the Palestinians and Lebanese in
 the war that Tsahal wages on them. This doesn't mean at all we are "revisionists".

We have not received any information from the Iranian Cartoon House
telling us that the intention of this contest was to link the exhibition
to a specific governmental action.
We strongly protest against such decision without our knowledge.

Dear Fiuz Kutal, Ben Heine, Marcin Bondarowicz and David Baldinger

Hi

Thanks a lot for your attention
I  inserted  the gallery of holocaust cartoons in our web ,
About my opinion:
1-we are also not anti-Semitic, I have two Iranian Jewish friends,
 In my country many of Jewish people live together with us,
And The Iranian Jewish have the members in our parliament.
2-We are not support by  Iranian government,
We are working for municipality of Tehran as you know,
the hamshahri newspaper is working for Municipality too.
3-We never speak about   "the Holocaust on Jews never existed",
 if you see something about this opinion, this is a lie!
 I spoke with many of mass media, but I spoke only about 3 questions (The Regulations of our contest):
1)  What is the Limit of Western Freedom of _Expression?"
 II) The holocaust had been finished and nothing can be done for it.
But the bigger holocausts are happening in Iraq,  Palestine and Afghanistan and we can protect their victims.
 III) Why suppressed and suffered people of Palestine living hundreds kilometer
  away from Poland and Germany should pay the price for holocaust?
 we are against all kind of  anti-Semitism, racism ...
4-I believe you about : Our drawings are political and aim to arouse
reflection in the people’s mind and also  All of us are anti-war proponents,
and most of us democratically support the "weakest and oppressed ones" and thus draw in their favor.
That's why we supported the Palestinians and Lebanese in the war that Tsahal wages on them.
 This doesn't mean at all we are "revisionists".
5-My dear friends ,You are sure, Iranian house of cartoon working about Peace and
anti war( in Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Palestine & ...), we are not support by our government.
You are my best friends in the world, we try to stop the war in all over the world, we are not anti-Semitic,
I am sorry if in your country some of persons like reporters 
try to imposing we are anti-Semitic or new Nazis, and I know you are under stress ,
You are very brave men to drawing cartoons about Palestinian holocaust, American Holocaust, but  not the history of holocaust.
The Irancartoon is a democratic, non-anti Semitic, non governmental ,
 independent and peaceful organization.

 This contest purpose was just to challenge the
 limits (redline) of Western Freedom of expression.

please accept my best wishes
