Iranian cartoon obsession with Israel betrays official state antisemitism

The Ahlul Bayt News Agency, an Iranian website geared towards a pro-Shiite agenda, publishes regular editorial cartoons.

Since May, it has published 57 editorial cartoons.

53 cartoons of them are anti-Israel, 3 are anti-US, and only one that is about the rest of the world.

And it is not like they have only one cartoonist. They choose cartoons from multiple sources - including Carlos Latuff in Mondoweiss - that are all fixated on hating Israel, and often with antisemitic motifs.

The editors don't want you to hate the Israelis because of their alleged actions. The reader's are supposed to increase their hate because the Israelis are Jews.
