I’m waiting for Zapiro’s cartoon on French massacre
Our most famous cartoonist is never afraid to stand back and use his satirical skills to press home his point in the face of controversy, be it political, social, or whatever.
Allan Wolman
He has specialised in using his art form most effectively to demonise Israel – and Israel is where the Jews are – so he disguises his anti-Jewish sentiments using the façade of Israel.
I draw your attention specifically to the cartoon depicting the barmitzvah of Justice Richard Goldstone’s grandson. See just how he caricatures the rabbi and other shul officials!
Yet, I have never seen a Zapiro cartoon depicting any Islam-related issue. I wonder why?
Is it okay to demonise the Jews because he himself is a Jew? Perhaps he can well argue this point, namely that he is mocking himself? But this is very questionable.
But let’s see those satirical skills he uses so effectively in the aftermath of the murder of his 12 French colleagues in Paris. There’s a test for his mettle!

‘Agree with Allan Wolman – let’s see how big Zapiro’s brave is!’

‘Zapiro is the typical loonie leftwing pc cartoonist who is biased and prejudiced against anything Jewish.
His silence on these dastardly deeds committed in Paris expose him as a hypocrite and a mendacious purveyor of the demonisation of Jews and their homeland.
He is a defender of fraudulent idealism.’

‘Zapiro is a cartoonist/satirist and its his job to act like a poephol. leave him alone. He’s a yid and I’m sure he’s not anti jewish. Lets not act or be like those \”you know who\”
people that can’t take a joke. Sometimes its offensive and so is porn. We need not look at it.
Give the guy a break. He’s only a lunatic trying to make a decent living.
