 The Russian version of Palestine-info carries a large number of anti-Semitic (and anti-Western) cartoons which do not appear on the portal's other language sites. The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center attributes this to Hamas' propaganda policy which calculates that Russian-speaking target audiences are ripe for anti-Semitic and anti-Western propaganda. It also stems from the expectation that such cartoons can promote the absorption and assimilation of other Hamas' messages of radical Islam, support for terrorism, hostility toward the United States.
The cartoons on the Palestine-info have not been specifically drawn for the site. They have been taken from an anti-Semitic, anti-American Iranian site (Irancartoon). It displays the work of cartoonists from all over the world, including Russia . The cartoons in the Hamas site put great emphasis on the themes of comparing Jews and Nazis, representing the Jews as bloodthirsty, Holocaust denial or minimization, and the claim that the Jews use the Holocaust to justify their own holocaust of the Palestinians.
