Cartoon comparing refugees fleeing for their lives to escape the likes of ISIS to rats

For a refresher this is what passed for an editorial cartoon in 1939 Austria…

And today the same sort of bigots and demagogues are leading the mob…
Like Marine le Pen and the National Front:

I am sure it will come as no surprise that the National Front has a sordid history of antisemitism…

Meanwhile it seems the terrorists were mostly – if not completely- french and Belgian nationals… but that wont matter… the refugees are out of the frying pan and into the fire… and while it suits their purposes the right wing in Europe and in the US will condemn them all as murderers…
