Medieval artists created pictures showing that Jews had sexual contact with pigs, drank the blood of abducted Christian children, were in league with the devil, had horns, etc. They used their artwork to depict hate-provoking, blood curdling images of such scenes. Once believed as literal truth, these inflammatory depictions can now be found, disguised as metaphors, in current political cartoons. These hate-laden images form an arsenal of what can be called "Secret Codes".
To examine the cartoons that we've collected so far please click on a specific code listed alphabetically in the column to the right.The Codes are also listed below (not in alphabetical order) with descriptions.

Family: Moral Inversion
Family: Moral Inversion:
The Nazi Holocaust and the contemporary targeting of Jews and Jewish Institutions by terrorist organizations are an impediment to the portrayal of the Jew as the powerful “devil” used as a unifying force needed by mass movements in their quests for power. Memetically, Antisemitism and the Antisemitic image-codes needed to evolve into a form which would deny Jewish victimhood. Moral Inversion Codes depict the victims as the perpetrators. Thus the Jew becomes the Nazi or the terrorist suicide bomber, rather than their target and victim!
