 | The Arab Media's Response to the Gaza Flotilla Affair
Posted: June 4, 2010 |  |
Editorial cartoonists across the Arab and Muslim world have once again turned to using "deeply offensive and hateful caricatures of Israelis and Jews" in their criticism of Israel in the aftermath of the Gaza flotilla affair. The following compilation shows how in the days following the Israeli naval operation in the Mediterranean Sea to stop the flotilla from reaching Gaza, editorial cartoonists across the Arab world turned the incident into a cause célèbre, with cartoons punctuated with vicious anti-Israel and anti-Semitic images.
