"Arab terrorists despise the United States and destroyed the World Trade Center with suicide attacks because Jews use money and the news media as weapons to control the United States," explains one comic strip in a book about the United States, published three years ago.

"New York became the target of terrorists because the city is the general headquarters of Jews," the strip added.

Another image in the book shows a man huffing up a hill only to find a fortress standing with a Star of David and STOP sign in front. "The final obstacle" to success for Korean-Americans, the strip says, "is always a wall called Jews."

Although South Koreans regularly denounce Japan for World War II atrocities, they tend not to pay as much attention to Nazi history. The Wiesenthal Center has protested bars in the country that have used Nazi themes.

Notice that his apology was given the Korean-American community, not Jewish-Americans.
