The website of the well-known American newspaper The Washington Post removed a cartoon of a Hamas official who uses children as human shields and says, "How dare Israel attack civilians!" The removal of the cartoon was made because of claims that the cartoon was racist. In the Washington Post's physical newspaper, however, the cartoon was published as planned. I saw the cartoon as one that focuses on a specific person, a Hamas spokesman who celebrated the attack on unarmed Israeli civilians. Our section is interested in finding a common denominator that will connect us even in difficult times and therefore we have removed the cartoon.
