The Anti-Semitic Cartoon Contests:

As a response to the Danish Mohammed cartoons, the Iranian newspaper Hamshahri sponsored a contest for anti-Semitic cartoons "about the Holocaust" in an attempt to show that freedom of speech in Western countries is not universally accepted on all topics.

An Israeli comic group called Boomka.org decided to out-maneuver the Iranians by sponsoring their own anti-Semitic cartoon contest, with the entrants to be drawn mostly by Jews themselves and the winners to be displayed at an exhibit in Tel Aviv.

You can see the results of both contests here:

Iranian anti-Semitic Holocaust cartoon contest submissions.

"Silver Linings of the Holocaust" would have been the funniest submission to the Iranian contest, but it was not included among the official entrants. (Hat tip: Erik.)

Of course, the Iranians didn't need to hold a contest to find anti-Semitic cartoons, since they're published frequently by the mainstream press in the Muslim world:
