From Clay Jones : “And I have wimped out myself a few times but mostly because of pressure from an editor. I felt dirty every time an editor forced me to do one. But today, I don’t feel dirty as this is a both-sides cartoon. I don’t see Israel equal with Hamas or Hezbollah. All three are governments but two are also terrorists, and a war criminal runs the Israeli Defense Force. When you plant boobie traps, you’re taking on the behavior of terrorists. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes. An arrest warrant has been issued. I had a few readers howl at me for last week’s cartoon on Israel’s pager attack on Hezbollah. I don’t have an issue with the IDF killing Hezbollah terrorists. What I have an issue with is the way they go about it. Like with their war with Hamas, I have an issue that the IDF doesn’t try to avoid killing civilians. Hell, they even bombed humanitarian workers. […] I take sides too and the side I’m on is the civilian’s side. I don’t want any more civilians killed in Israel, Gaza, or Lebanon. I don’t view Israelis, Palestinians, or Lebanese as the bad guys, but Hamas, Hezbollah, and Benjamin Netanyahu are evil.” Read more at Claytoons or Substack .
