Michael Ramirez: Going Back 11-10-23
From America's Premier Editorial Cartoonist
You may have heard of the kerfuffle over at the Washington Post in which editors exercised their right to remove a cartoon that depicts Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad with children tied to him as human shields. Although the use of human shields by Hamas is well documented, I continue to receive angry, unhinged emails claiming that Michael is a racist shill for depicting the phenomenon, referencing one of the leaders and spokesmen of Hamas. Michael stands by his work without apology. The cartoon can be viewed at the Las Vegas Review-Journal HERE. Over at the great Power Line Blog, Scott Johnson addresses the issue and is correct in his assessment that Michael remains undaunted and will continue to create his cartoons wherever the facts take him. We deeply appreciate all of our subscribers and the wonderful platform of Substack, which supports free speech in an abundant free market of ideas. Michael will have more to say in this week’s regular essay and when the cartoon appears here as detailed below.—Melissa
Michael currently extends his editorial cartooning influence twice a week to the Washington Post in collaboration with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, and those cartoons will appear here after a week due to contractual obligations. For an early peek, please use this link to view them at the Washington Post.
