Here is a transcript from Iranian TV which featured a seminar on how the Jewish Walt Disney company created the cartoon Tom & Jerry as a public relations ploy to erase the European view that Jews were like "dirty mice."
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.
The Wall Street Journal reports that just outside Paris, France, Ilan Halimi, a 23-year old Jewish man, was kidnapped, tortured, stabbed, and brutalized for 24 days by Muslim men who invited Muslim neighbors in to torture him while they talked on the phone with the family about a ransom and while his screams could be heard by the family in the background. Although some French authorities tried to classify the crime as simply a case of kidnapping for ransom money, it quickly became apparent that he was targeted precisely because he was Jewish. There have been other attempted kidnappings of Jews in France, and one other Jewish man was murdered because he was Jewish. [Thanks to A.B.]
