Cartoonist Steve Bell claims he has been fired by The Guardian over accusations a cartoon linked to Israel he denies is anti-Semitic.
The veteran artist, who has worked for the newspaper for more than 40 years, claims he has been told by the left-wing publication that they are no longer willing to publish his artwork after he submitted a controversial cartoon of Benjamin Netanyahu.
In the image the president of Israel was seen wearing boxing gloves and holding a scalpel over his own exposed belly, readying a cut in the shape of Gaza while the caption reads: ‘Residents of Gaza, get out now’.
Critics have taken this to be a reference to Shylock, the Jewish moneylender from Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, who demands a ‘pound of flesh’ from someone who can’t pay him back.
Mr Bell has defended the image and has decried accusations that he used anti-Semitic tropes, although it is not the first time he has faced these claims.

Unfortunately, the truth is ‘antisemetic’.
The Guardian:
‘The Jerusalem Post’ for THICK Brits
😅
The pound of flesh rule was traditional but Shylock wanted it to be the man’s heart: in the cartoon, Net is about to cut his own heart out, probably meaning this will end his career
“BELL” is usually a crypto jewish surname.
The editor of the jewish run Guardian is jewish…..she has not lifted a finger to get Assange freed from Belmarsh the maximum security prison…..Britains “political Prison” with secret tunnels underneath leading to a court room…..where have we seen this arrangement before….THE USSR.
This is how the liberal establishment eats itself. It’s reminiscent of Soviet Russia.
It turns out the “Zyklon-B mountains of bodies” were fictional, but it is an apt metaphor for those who seek to do the will of the TPTB but inevitably fail because of the career driving puritanism of those who hitherto have needed to be woke and walk on eggshells wrt to the Jewish question. The rarified political air requires other bodies be climbed on top of for survival in this current era of media and politics.
The schizophrenia needed to celebrate both a “melting pot” world and a world permeated by “Jewish specialness” becomes increasingly impossible to sustain. In a world of ruled by psychopaths one needs to be a sociopath to thrive in its ecosystem. I conclude there must be a great deal of mental health problem in this class who need to survive in this Zyklon-B pyramidal ecosystem.
It is impossible to work as a journalist on mainstream publication if you are an intelligent and decent human being.

I collect news items for an ongoing writing project. Here is one from 2018 of a local nature. It names someone who was in the same council as myself. I may add, I consciously avoided criticising other (Labour) councillors when a councillor myself because I always regarded them with such utter contempt, I felt naming them, gave them a substance more than they deserved. I now realise I rediscovered what in times of yore was the notion of someone being “unspeakable”:
‘A council leader has accused colleagues of racism, deceit and corruption as she resigned after being suspended over alleged anti-Semitic tweets. Sandwell Council’s Yvonne Davies was being investigated over tweets she posted in 2018 and was suspended by the Labour party on Monday, she said.
In her resignation speech at Tuesday’s cabinet meeting, she claimed “old white men” in her party “wanted to go back”. She denied being racist saying she never had the chance to defend herself. The Labour Party said it takes all complaints of anti-Semitism “extremely seriously”. The council has been contacted for comment.
“For the record I am not anti-Semitic. I am horrified that I might even be considered so to be,” she told colleagues during the online meeting. She accused party members of leaking “these matters to the press” adding that she wished she “could have apologised for my historic mis-judgement…’

There can never be enough grovelling. OK to criticise “ old white men” though…
It as though instead of some medieval inquisition testing people on being protestant or catholic is, the new inquisition is testing how faithful they are to the self-chosen…
a pic would have been nice..

Hope he has learnt his lesson 2 NEVER trust a joo
And to think millions of white Allied morons demolished anti-Jewish Nazi Germany for these hideous Jewish mongrel ghouls to rule the world. Oh that’s right, their rabbi in the sky told them to.
There’s no such thing as “antisemitism”. If you hate a man because of his abhorrent behavior, that doesn’t make you racist. It makes him an asshole. Sidenote: Israel did 9-11. Guess who 100% owned the trans-Atlantic slave trade…
Cartoonists skewer people and events that deserve skewering. Court jesters. Certain humorless groups of people cannot tolerate being ridiculed. They cannot be named… you know why.

It’s amazing how the most anti-semitic people in the world are held high up on a pedestal. Most people that throw the term around have no idea what it means. A semitic people are those that are born and live around the Mediterranean. They have dark skin. Palestinians are Semitic people. The Hebrews, which make up about 10% of jews are Semitic people. the other 90% of jews are not semitic at all. They are of Eastern European Decent, primarily Kazaars. The jews (not the Hebrews) are the most anti-semitic people around. They rape and murder Palestinians. They steal their land and homes. They put raw sewage in their drinking water, they use their kids as target practice (which you hear nothing of in the corporate jew owned media) they put up checkpoints up all over in their land. Thy spit on them, neat them up, and put children in prisons with adults. They have committed crimes Hitler would never do, like cut off water and food supplies to Gaza. It’s time for people to quit cowering and apologizing for being called anti-semitic. It’s time to start showing how proud you are for being anti-semitic because the jews have changed the meaning to being anti-jew. There are many reasons to be anti-jew. The private central banks they own that are trying to take over the world is reason number one.
And the “Guardian” cuts off its own large nose to spite its face
Steve Bell wouldn’t have it any other way

@Jason
That’ll be the ONLY slave trade that ever existed, will it?
You mean that image is not Netanyahoo’s passport photo?!
I didn’t see Auntie Shem-itic. I saw a Khazar harming himself by cutting an image of a territory, occupied by Semites, on himself.
@JASON
ISRAHELL NUKED BEIRUT PORT !
Jason: Jews are not a race.
Steve Bell is just your regular thicko sheeple. He’s been very happy to be associated with the Nazi Guardian, a paper/media organisation who caters for the so say, left leaning thicko intelligentsia sheeple.
I have a cartoon of Bibi. He’s standing at a lecturn with Israeli flags, and a halo of camera lenses and missiles. There’s a caption saying ‘Vote Likud’.
carl jones:
Wrong. Jews are a race of mongrels.
The cartoon has a couple of other meanings–Net has to be heartless to starve all the Gazans, and he is mentally cutting the place out of his concerns
