Do political cartoon predict violence? To answer this question Ilan Danjoux examined over
1200 Israeli and Palestinian editorial cartoons to explore whether changes in their content
anticipated the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada in October of 2000. Despite stark
differences in political, economic and social pressures, a notable shift in focus, style and
tone accompanied the violence. With numerous illustrations and detailed methodology,
Political Cartoons and the Israeli Palestinian Conflict provides readers an engaging
introduction to cartoon analysis and a novel insight into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In a
region fraught with contested realities, the cartoon’s ability to capture the latent fears and
unspoken beliefs of these antagonists offers a refreshing perspective on how both Israelis
and Palestinians perceived each other and their chances for peace on the eve of the Second
Intifada.
