The only thing worse than having a grown adult passionately explain how deep and complex a children’s cartoon may be beneath its surface, is having theocrats and conspiracy theorists actually believe such assessments.
A few years ago, Saudi Arabia’s highest religious court ruled that Pokémon should be banned for possessing children’s minds and “promoting Zionism”.
And here I thought it was all just a multifaceted marketing blitz with lots of cute monsters! I should have known the Joooooos would find a way to spread Zionism through their unbeknownst servant animators in Japan.

Well, we do what we can with the material at hand, you know ;-)
I wonder what other cartoons have hidden Zionist agendas. I think it would be a hoot to be a fly on the wall during the religious discussions Saudi’s highest court brought about concerning Pokemon. I laugh every time I picture a bunch of shrouded traditional men watching Pokemen with great observance.
Well it seems that any excuse is a good excuse to blame the Jews or Israel for something!
Oh dear, oh dear. I thought Falwell had taken the biscuit when saying the Tellytubbies promoted homosexuality. I was wrong.
Perhaps they saw the name Pickachu and thought it said pick a jew....
With Barbie(TM) dolls they didn't even both using the "anti-Zionist" moniker, they simply denounced the dolls as "Jewish" and a "threat to Islam."
