Every time I see it (mostly in The Australian), I have a good belly laugh at the way Cathy drew John Howard😂. And the idea of elites marching to a Zionist drum has clearly struck a nerve.

Here's the 1948 Einstein—Arendt letter to The New York Times, comparing Israel's Herut (Freedom—now the ruling Likud) party to European fascism, describing it as “closely akin . . . to the Nazi and Fascist parties.” www.nytimes.com/1948/12/04/a...

And there’s a Streisand effect too: four Weekend Australian articles—including Gawenda’s—reproduced the “Grass Roots” cartoon.

Thank you Cathy—and kudos to Age/SMH editors for publishing this. Michael Gawenda admits spiking a Leunig cartoon over Israeli–Nazi equivalence; The Australian rejected my reply noting this is a documented historical discourse. Both prove the cartoon’s point about elite gatekeeping around Zionism.

gonna watch in Australia at a more reasonable time of 9.15pm!

Same here.
