What talent you have Katie– can’t wait for your novel. Thank you so much!
(Maybe you can start making jewelry from the much- feared stones of Palestine………)

Love it! It gets to the quick of this situation. Especially loved the 3rd image panel, depicting the reality of US/Israeli approved land swaps.
When you’re born into wealth, with everything paid for, and the family objective is to achieve more wealth, you have to do your duty, which Kerry has done: first he married into the Forbes family, then into the Heinz family, and he agreed to marry into their brand of influential politics. And it has shown. Chelsea Clinton is following his guide. She will be as effectual as Kerry in maintaining the status quo, while proclaiming the contrary. They both can look forward to a comfy life, full of righteous platitudes and busy work that net operate to keep the oppressed, oppressed. Both useful tools.

I too once thought that there was enough common interest in an end to conflict, genuine equality regardless of race and economic cooperation to make a generally satisfactory settlement likely or more than likely. People, I thought, always do what is basically in their interests. I had quite a lot of experience of the world and I was so deluded. I read articles by wise people in the respectable press which said that it was all over bar the shouting and the posturing. This was back in the 90s. My only excuse for misleading myself so much is that a lot of others were doing the same. Mr. Sec. Kerry must surely have got beyond these illusions, since so much information is available to him and so many disappointments have been endured. I suppose it’s all about politics back home. He will probably end up proclaiming that it’s all very sad, but Israel has no partner for peace.

Great toons.
You should try submitting them to NPR. Of course it’s doubtful they every use it, but it would be a great counter to the crap they normally produce.
Oooh– fantastic!!!
