Jerusalem, Israel -Dec. 10, 2024  - Elder of Ziyon (EoZ) has been blogging anonymously for over 16 years, with thousands of articles "providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed" about Israel. "Elder" chose his title name for its ironic reference to the antisemitic The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which claims Jews control the world.

In February 2022, the Elder of Ziyon published the book Protocols: Exposing Modern Antisemitism reviewed by BJL in April 2022.  

In time for Channukah gift giving EoZ has produced a new and very different book of his sharp political ironic and satirical cartoons, "He's an Anti-Zionist too!"

"This is more than a cartoon book. This is a scathing critique of the progressive Left that exposes their hypocrisy and ignorance. Their statements in these cartoons are barely exaggerated from what they say, from cocktail parties to the newsroom to the offices of so-called human rights groups and college campuses." -  EOZ.

Following are three examples from the book:


New cartoons include images made with AI by EoZ.




Some of the cartoons are adapted old images with new sarcastic comments on the usage, as of 'Judea and Samaria'. 


"Those fiends and their hasbara! Everyone knows it has been Palestinian land forever," retorted the man to the tearful woman.



One of my favorite cartoons is this one with two researchers looking at an old stone cave wall with a menorah, shofar, and Jewish star saying, "You know the Israelis will want to Judaize these findings." 

Summing up much of the current situation of denial in one image. 

"I spend a lot of time on my site writing essays analyzing and debunking anti-Israel lies, but a cartoon is often worth more than a thousand words. Lampooning today's antisemites and clueless "progressives" gives us back the power to do what Jews have done best throughout the centuries: to laugh at those who want to cause us harm," told EoZ to BJL.

Repeating my full disclosure, I have published on the Elder of Ziyon blog over the years with political issues and opinions.
