Trick question, it doesn’t matter because Israel has already condemned you

Australia’s claim that Israel has a right to defend itself against Iran is inconsistent with our rules-based order | Ben Saul
While Australia rightly urges de-escalation, it also fails to condemn Israel’s attack on Iran

Wild West.
My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Title The Wild West. Sundown in barren town with tumbleweed and a saloon in the background with a horse tied up. Foreground Trump on left in cowboy get-up, hands poised over pistols, says “Only way to fix a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” Netanyahu on right also in cowboy get-up, holding two small nuclear missiles, says “Same, but nuclear.”

Target.
My @smh cartoon.
Single frame. Gaza. Destruction zone including distant Palestinian flag on a heap of rubble, a distant fire. A few wanderers. Foreground, two skinny kids sitting, one with phone, one with bag and pot. First scary: “Wow. Israelis able to take out specific targets in Iran with incredible accuracy…” other kid says “Just like here.”

ICYMI- the Art of the AUKUS deal- yesterday's cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com
Scene is a room with a table set up for Trump (name tag, burgers, diet coke in a gold ice bucket). A staffer is opening the door with a sign saying "Trump/ Albanese meeting- CANCELLED" and is looking at Albanese who is standing next to a noticeboard he'd prepared earlier saying "WE give YOU BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. YOU - most probably- give US NOTHING in return!" Albanese is saying to the staffer " I WAS hoping an honest assessment of AUKUS would convince him that we put America First"

A bad hand.
My cartoon for tomorrow's The Age and Sydney Morning Herald.
An editorial cartoon split into two panels. The first panel shows Tammy Bruce from the U.S. State Department saying in a press conference, "President Trump is the singular guiding hand about what will be occurring from this point forward." The second panel shows an over-the-shoulder view of President Trump, alone and posting up a storm on social media. Several of his most inflammatory Truth Social posts of the last 24 hours relating to the escalating situation in world affairs, particularly the conflict between Iran and Israel, appear in overlapping text bubbles. Fast food litters the desk in front of him with both a can of Diet Coke and an open hamburger container resting perilously close to a large red button on his desk (notionally to deploy large scale weaponry such as bunker buster bombs), which could easily be pressed by accident given where his focus lies.

AUKUS is not going to happen. By the time the US returns to democratic rule (if ever) it will be too late. Apply for a refund now.

Stream of semi-consciousness #USPolitics #auspol t.co/pwQVDLYzH2
Editorial cartoon titled Stream of Semi-consciousness. Trump in various poses muttering “Why are we using rubber bullets?” We have to get rubber from places nobody has ever heard of!” “We should be using good old American lead” “Executive order time” “How do you spell Trump?” “We need to make bullets great again!” “Putin wouldn’t use a rubber” “Bibi wouldn’t even waste one on a journalist” “Woke gone mad” “A tariff on all rubbers”.

Later on I asked Dave if I could have a recording of the performance and I had it playing in my very small shed in the backyard most of the time while I was painting this.
Best looked at while listening to the performance.

Inflammatory.

I wonder will Donald Trump pardon those arrested ″⁣unlawful demonstrators″⁣ in Los Angeles as he did the unlawful rioters at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

“I think the world needs a lot more young angry women, to be honest - especially with everything going on right now.” - Greta Thunberg.

Anyone who isn’t angry about this genocide, forced starvation and continual breach of international law has lost their humanity.
Illustrated poster by Nordacious. A young woman with light brown hair wearing a red shirt and black-and-white keffiyeh stands on the deck of a ship, facing massive, ominous, dark blue waves. Her hair and scarf blow in the wind. At the bottom is a quote from Greta Thunberg: “We are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying. Because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity.” The words “lose our humanity” are highlighted in red.
