Political+Cartoons

Political Cartoon by David Hong This political cartoon shows different lessons that Palestine and Israel learned. Because their point of views are different they cannot compromise anything to achieve peace in their land. Israel is oppressing Palestine just like how Europeans oppressed them thousands of years ago. Israel is portrayed as a big boy, because they have superior weapons, living standards and support from western powers. Whereas Palestine is portrayed as a small boy, because they have nothing compare to Israel. They do not have strong government, army and good living standards. This political cartoon is representing the Israel and Palestine conflict. The Jewish star is a barricade trying to keep the people of Palestine out. There is a man waving a Palestine flag showing that there are Palestinians in Israel and they have no intent on moving elsewhere. The majority of the cartoon is in black and white but the Palestine flag is colored. This makes the flag stand out and show that it has a strong meaning. This political cartoon is showing how the people of Palestine and the people of Israel are never going to be able to have a sit down and talk together in a civilized manor. The people walking by the two people talking say that is must be a mirage because they believe it is unrealistic for the people of Palestine and the people of Israel to have civil talks with one another.
