The thousands of posts on his blog detail the bias and lies spread about Israel. For example, he made it eminently clear how Hamas had infiltrated UNRWA a decade before mass media started to report on it. His many posts about that malevolent U.N. agency led me to write my post about them on Medium: https://bit.ly/41BIXef.
EoZ is back with a great new book, “He’s An Anti-Zionist Too! Cartoons by Elder of Ziyon.” In 2018, he started adding his own captions to New Yorker-style cartoons. This was meant to satirize people who think they are sophisticated, yet are clueless about Israel and the Middle East.
EoZ writes that a problem with satire, especially when discussing “anti-Zionists,” is that often their reality overtakes the satirical versions. Cartoons are one way to expose the insanity, hypocrisy and hate that animate these people. And that is something he does exceptionally well in the nearly 150 cartoons in this amazing book.
This book brilliantly details the utter hypocrisy and absurdities of those who mindlessly criticize Israel—from Amnesty International to CNN and more. EoZ’s sharp wit and insight make this a most entertaining and enlightening read.
The Pulitzer Prize for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary is given annually for “a distinguished portfolio of editorial cartoons or other illustrated work characterized by political insight, editorial effectiveness or public service value.” These cartoons by EoZ are certainly worthy of that prize.
