I found your publication on the Internet and was horrified by your portrayal of “Israel” by cartooning a large, hook-nosed man. This is the type of propaganda used by the Nazis. Your policy differences with the Israelis may be deeply felt and that is your prerogative. Displaying Jews in the most offensive manner is not. The hateful depiction you used only strengthens the opinion many of us in the West hold that Arab societies can only justify their own dictatorships by creating external enemies, again just like the Nazis.
