The tyicall cartoon in the middle East is normally much more worst. They depict jews as being beast, and quite some of them generalizing saying that all jews are basically, well you name it.

And yes.. I am not sure if a cartoon because it is racist or anti-semitic it should be banned.

I can tell you that in Spain they are forbidden, yes. If a judge considers a cartoon or any statement blatantly racist or inciting the attack of any minority or majority it can be forbidden. There are examples of anti-semitic material banned. In a word, depicting Sharon as a killer is fine and legal, depicting jews as beasts killing innocents and commenting somehting like "all jews are evil.. all jews are evil..", yes it is forbidden. Attacks on the honour of a person would lead to fines and a "forced retraction"(they are literally ordered to pay for apologies in the newsmedia), general racist attacks and incitement lead to banning and prison.
