'Makes no sense': UK daily Guardian fires cartoonist over Netanyahu artwork



Speaking to the BBC, Bell said it "made no sense to me, as there is no reference to that play in my cartoon, which shows Netanyahu, poised to perform a surgical operation on himself while wearing boxing gloves, the catastrophic consequences of which are yet to be seen".

"The image itself was inspired by the late, great David Levine's cartoon of President Lyndon Johnson (LBJ) showing off his operation scar, which Levine draws in the shape of a map of Vietnam," Bell added.


Bell’s cartoons have often caused controversy.

In 2018, The Guardian rejected one of his artwork featuring former British prime minister Theresa May alongside Netanyahu. The cartoon showed the pair sitting in front of a fireplace where a Palestinian nurse named Razan al-Najja being burned. Razan was killed by an Israeli solider.

A Guardian News and Media spokesperson said "The decision has been made not to renew Steve Bell's contract. Steve Bell's cartoons have been an important part of the Guardian over the past 40 years – we thank him and wish him all the best."

What's the status with their SUV controversy?

Pooldrowning:
Only APC supporters can access the borders with their Membership card. They have no problem with that ...


Anyway, A man and his wife quarrelled. After the fight, the wife went into the bedroom. A few minutes later, the husband also trooped into the bedroom only to find the wife busy packing her suitcase! He asked "You are packing! Where are you going?" She answered "To my mother"....The man paused for a while and also got his big brown pure leather suitcase & started packing his clothes. The angry wife stared at him and said "You are packing! Where are you going?" He replied "Oh yeah! I"m going to my mother!" The wife replied, "To your mother!! And what about the 6 children?! Who is going to look after them?" The man replied, "You are going to your mother! I'm going to my mother. The 6 children should also go to their mother!!* Equation balanced. Both of them quickly sat down and settled their marital issues.


You are smiling.....

No. Not smiling. Not after you opened with a needless partisan comment.

How does your first paragraph relate with the topic?

Jostoman:
i dont know why you people hate truth like this.

What truth? Enlighten me.

Israeli Defense Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin in 2007: “Israel would be happy if Hamas took over Gaza because IDF could then deal with Gaza as a hostile state”, going on to downplay significance of Iran in Gaza “as long as they don't have a port."

This seems to explain why the Israeli authorities failed to act on intelligence prior to the October 7 attack.

Badonasty:
Lol…ipob no different from hamas…after ipob attack Nigerian forces dem go go hide inside village…when Naija forces attack the villages dem go dey post pictures of civilian deaths and destruction

Funny how the IPOB slaves on this forum will accept one part and dispel the other.


They will wail over the Nigerian security forces claiming collateral damage in attacking IPOB, yet celebrate the IDF for doing same.

Never seen such dunderheads.

Againstallodds:
focus on tinubu defending. Israel vs Hamas matter does not bring money to your table. You are paid to defend tinubu and Should leave something that you have no clue about

Shut up!

Varunpulyani:
Akeredolu is also a cocaine sniffing animal like Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The difference is Bola Ahmed Tinubu is now a full blown international baron.

I don vex some people by calling out Thier lord and savior.

🤦

If you like, don't take your life seriously, it's your loss.

aswani:
Àketi na Ibadan boy anyway so make una allow am.

What are you even saying?

Them suppose light you.

KpukpuyekePikin:
Anything happens in a country ruled by a drug criminal. Someone can even govern a state from Morocco. Idiots!

Shut up and stop fooling around.

Your cry is not what will determine Tinubu's tenure. You'll just wail yourself to a mental breakdown.

Politicians and their cronies are damn shameless.

minakom:
Exactly why I said what I said. I really hope they use the cash wisely.

You were quite declarative, not speculative.

Blazadenise:
If naa by wish, African could have been like europe bro...

Please shut up and stop being an idiot.

Why do Americans make it a point of duty to proclaim "God bless America"?

Fish brain.

RingRoadMafia:
A FOOL that claims to have gone abroad to study Economics. Laycon should please tell us how "prayers" and "wishes" are integral to Nigerias development. Was that what they taught him in the UK?

Are the prayers and wishes responsible for the naira being over 1k to the dollar? Are the prayers and wishes responsible for the massive inflation? Are prayers and wishes going to reduce fuel price from 750/lt? Are prayers and wishes responsible for Nigerias ever rising debt profile?

Unfortunate dunce! I don't want to insult the yorubas because I can see that many of them are already reprimanding the bastard on twitter. He will not die well, e sure me!

Hate dispensing olori pelebe. See how your tears are flowing like a real dunce.

Wujio:
Laycon always trying to trend but yet proves himself a full as always. If only Laycon will stop his hypicrisy, he woyld realize the presidents decisions is what dictates the direction and pace of the country, bot the wishes if opponents

No be only full, na half empty. Olodo

Iamzik:
Countries don't get better just by wishes of citizens

Countries are made better or worse by the actions and policies of political leaders.

This guy should redirect his admonition to APC politicians who successfully drove the economy into the ground year after year since 2015

Do Republicans wish their country nosedive, just to spite Biden?

Stop being intelligent by half.

DatNiggaDaz:
Tv Reality foool

Is that the best your brain can fathom?

minakom:
95% of those empowered will play bet9ja ad loose the cash

Stop talking nonsense.

Though, they should be properly exposed to modern day business education.

Olachase:
Remember someone was telling me that the federal government should print more money and give ever individual citizens of Nigeria 1 billion,

I asked him why did God himself made some people rice and some poor I doesn't know what to say 😁😁

This your grammar ehn

CodeTemplar:
bla bla bla. 500 out of millions in need.

See your head.

If there was transparency in the process, then that is an ideal "palliative" package, not all these nonsense sharing of 2 spoons of rice.

robinfemi:
When God is with you, enemies will do themselves

When you fools were just celebrating earlier how it was justified for Israel to carry out the attack?

To be honest, you folks are the reason why politicians continue to hold this country to ransome. Your brains have been reduced to almost non-functional by your pastors.

Desammyst:
It's well. All I know is that God is with the state of Israel.

Of course, cos that's what your pastor says. Fish brain.

Fibonacci88:
See terrorist sympathizer. With the genocide in Benue and southern Kaduna u no cough. Hypocrite. Una get luck say ruthless country like Israel no reach three for this world. All you head slammers would have been sent to meet ur 72 virgins long ago.

You will die of hate, yet Muslims will continue to exist.

Cry and cry more.

Daystar7:
Ogun kill you, you terrorist using them as shield are the evil ones here, Israel asked them to leave 4 days ago but Hamas didn't let them leave but used them as shield instead. Blackmail will not work on Israel, y'all must die

You know what death awaits you yet? Fool!

blackgold2018:
shut tha hell up you fool

Israel particularly warned on that hospital evacuation. They were initially given 3days to evacuate people in that hospital.

But hamas misled them on staying

They should have evacuated them to your house abi?

Ode!

As you fools claim it's a launch site for rockets, it means rockets won't be launched in the coming days abi?

It's a waste of intelligence engaging useless beings like you. No sense, just "my pastor said..."

misreal:
The mindset of this terrorist organisation is crazy.
Hamas keeps using civilians as shield,while they fire rockets from their shield..
Israel knows that if they don't wipe out Hamas,Hamas will wipe them out..
It's about the survival of the state of Israel,not appeasing the psychotic mindset of terrorist...
They will soon learn that Israel is not the US,they don't pamper terrorist or terrorist sympathizers...
Nothing you say online will affect how Israel sees this war.hate them or love them,na your wahala be that…. I also think that this is the best time for hamas to force a ceasefire from Israel.But then the question is,If the UN demands a ceasefire from Israel,who will call hamas to ceasefire,thereby halting the rocked launching from hamas.because if hamas doesn’t stop throwing rockets at Israel,Israel will not stop…. this hospital has probably been treating wounded hamas fighters

Your hypocrisy will be the end of you. You'll remember someone told you that.

ahnie:
It's a fun thread depleting the current economic hardship nigeria.

Pepperdemisback:
Staged! Who was filming them?

Perhaps you don't understand Yoruba. The husband was filming (likely to serve as evidence). At the start of the video, she queries his decision to film her.

2aces:
Oga if I meet you face to face I go still beat you and lock you up, so mind your foolish utterance so you dont get yourself in trouble.

Honestly, I have to admit you come across as a stupid person. All brute and shallow reasoning.

IyaTola:
What do you suggest?

Reprimanded
Rehabilitated
Reabsorbed into the system (if he still desires).
