Reform On Hold?

Years ago, Israel was split over the withdrawal from Gaza. There were large public demonstrations, for and against. One side used orange as its color. The other wore and marched under a blue banner.

I strongly believed then (and still do) in trying to maintain my objectivity. For that reason since that time (as a reminder to myself) my cartoon alter ego Mr. Shuldig always wears orange and blue!

A Moment of Truth

The idea that Israelis would actually refuse to do military service is frightening. The idea that they would do so in order to bring down their Democratically elected gov’t is unacceptable. I had thought that it was unthinkable! But here we are, thinking about the unthinkable.

Which led me to think about what the terrorist soldiers on Israel’s borders must be thinking. So, I did this cartoon. What do YOU think?

Fix the Court

I know that this posting is not going to be received well if you support the anti-Gov't demonstrations here in Israel. This posting is simply to explain why the Court needs to be "fixed".

Simply put, there is no check or balance mechanism to restrain an all-powerful Supreme Court's dictates.

To begin with I assume that we all understand that the anti-Judicial Reform demonstrations are not REALLY demonstrations against Judicial Reform. They are REALLY anti Bibi Netanyahu demonstrations. And they’ve been organized and led and directed by the losers who can’t accept the results of our having elected this new Israeli government.

However, for you, if you ARE interested in knowing what the problem is with the Israeli Supreme Court system (and there is one!), I drew this simple Cartoon to allow Mr. Shuldig to explain it to you.

And if you want to get Bibi out of office, we have this system here in Israel. It’s called elections.

The Magician

When I was a kid (lo these many years ago), jugglers, tumblers, contortionists and acrobats astounded and amazed us with acts in what was then called Vaudeville.

Such shows are no longer around these days.

These days what we’ve got is politicians. And when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu pulled off his latest trick, I was reminded of the classic “pull the tablecloth out without upsetting anything” Vaudeville favorite.

Ping Pong

Today's cartoon predicts what I think will be the next phase in the battle between the Supreme Court and the Knesset. But is it a battle between two branches of the government ? or is it a battle between two strong Israelis (Chief Justice Esther Hayut and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu)? I solved that problem (for me, at least) by drawing Hayut and Bibi, but labeling them as "The Supreme Court" and "The Knesset".

Your thoughts?

Passover 2023

We've been having disputes ever since we marched out of Egypt together. Even the Passover Haggadah records disputes between our sages. So perhaps now, more than ever, we need to hold on to our unity as we feel free to argue and question. It's the Jewish way. Hag Sameah to us all.

Jewish Joke

In a truly depressing situation, with the growing anger and divisiveness spreading rapidly, my job is to do cartoons. Hopefully to make you laugh. If that's not depressing, I don't know what is!

The Growing Threat

On Tisha be'Av our "spiritual leaders" wrung their hands over the "sina hinam" (Hateful Disputes) that led to the destruction of the Temple! So why are they silent in the face of the sina hinam that is now a growing threat!!!

Purim in Israel 2023

IT's PURIM, and Israel's Purim Costume is that of a Country Splitting Apart! Happy Holiday to us ALL!

Do You Remember Liberalism?

The classic motto of Liberalism was " I disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it!"

Do you remember that?

Do they? #FreedomOfSpeech #Liberalism #WokeCulture

Israel's Knesset and Israel's Supreme Court are now in a war. A war that Israel can't win.

Not My Democracy

Modern Democracy: What's worse than inconclusive elections? Turns out to be when one side wins!
