Posted on Feb 16, 2006

Amitai Sandarovich, a cartoonist for the Yediot Ahronot daily, said he came up with the idea for the competition after an Iranian newspaper launched a contest for cartoons about the Holocaust.

The Jews are brilliant satirists. The Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible, or the Old Testament, the Christian Bible, is actually brilliant satire against the violent god, Yahweh.

To read the satire the ancient writers intended, go to http://www.godisajoke.com/

Learn how the “Manna” was actually the larvae of roundworms. That is the most recent post.

Read how mockery, satire, was actually high worship.
