Toles
Tom Toles’s latest cartoon is essentially an echo of the Archipelago map by Julien Bousac that Palestinian solidarity activists circulated 3 years ago.
I believe that even Washington is today in a state of paradigm collapse. The two state paradigm that was fought for for several decades and then became the regnant idea is crumbling. Smart people understand this in the U.S. Every Palestinian understands this. They say to you, We don’t know what’s next. Peter Beinart is leading the liberal Zionist cavalry to try and save the paradigm. So is Leonard Fein at Huffpo.
Toles is a fantastic cartoonist . Great to see this in the WaPo.
Who does israel think it is fooling ?
I never saw the “Archipelago map” before. nice
The timing of this one reflects the recent swiss cheese analogy made by the Palestinian Christian on 60 Minutes.
They’ve screwed the pooch.
If this isn’t a lesson in the outcome of covetousness, I don’t know what is…..
So now there’s two choices and both are bad news for Israel.
1: 2SS. Clear the settlements = Civil war.
2: 1SS. Israel loses their Jewish demographic.
And to think this could have been (and should have been) resolved 45 years ago.
Dumbasses.
Cartoonists sometimes can say things that would be censored from an opinion piece. Bravo!
Toles should have spelled out Palestine in the holes (or made the holes bigger). That’s much more akin to the reality.
Is this a backpedal of sorts? Is this analogical reversal of reality a softening of the message? This makes it look like the Palestinians are getting most of what they want with just a few settlements to deal with, i.e. whiners. Though that portrayal doesn’t seem to be the intent of the cartoon.
If he’s going to go to all this trouble… Baby steps I guess.
