There are several incidents involving controversial caricatures in the press media.
Many Muslim Middle Eastern newspapers have frequently published cartoons with allegedly antisemitic themes, or those created or inspired by Nazi-style propaganda.
These newspapers have generally claimed to be anti-Israeli but not anti-Jewish.
Some examples:[citation needed] On 27 March 2006, Indonesian daily Rakyat Merdeka published a cartoon on its front page depicting the Australian Prime Minister and Foreign minister as dingoes discussing the acquisition of the Indonesian region of Papua.
The Australian responded on 1 April with a Bill Leak cartoon depicting the Indonesian President as a dog copulating with local Papuans.
