Introducing our first editorial cartoon!
Starting this week, APN will be running these cartoons about every other week.
Cartoons have been a hot topic recently because of their power to incite and provoke. We will never be gratuitous with this form of expression—but we do plan to use this medium to incite action and to provoke thought. As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words. This is our aim: to make people think and to act for peace.
We hope you like them and we hope you like the first one, aptly named: “Messiah complex.”
On February 17, 2015, APN hosted Amir Tibon, the diplomatic correspondent of Israel's news site
Walla for a briefing call on Israel's upcoming elections. A month before the elections, Tibon gave an
eye-opening review of Israel's electoral arena, spoke about the way in which Prime Minister Netanyahu's push to
speak to Congress about Iran is playing in Israel, and about the way in which various issues are playing in the
campaign. He also reviewed various post-election scenarios, and predicted that Benjamin Netanyahu, if he's
called on to form the next government, would strive to form a national unity government with the Zionist Camp's
Yitzhak Herzog and Tzipi Livni.
