The 2006 Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoons Contest was initiated by two Israeli artists as a satirical response to the "International Holocaust Cartoon Competition" by an Iranian newspaper.

The winner was announced on the contest homepage as "Fiddler on the Roof". It depicted a fiddler on the Brooklyn Bridge during the 9/11 attacks, presumably associating with the allegation that Nero played a fiddle while Rome burned. Other common themes through the cartoons included world domination, the myth of Jews having horns, the Holocaust, and blood libel.

No such satirical contests seem to have been done elsewhere, possibly because even Jewish satirical anti-Semitism may be attacked by influential organizations such as the ADL, as occurred soon after the contest when the ADL attacked the Jewish created character Borat Sagdiyev for satirical anti-Semitism.
