Around the World in Hate Cartoons

* according to this report in Israelenews.com, cartoons are a significant element in a media incitement campaign by Palestinian cartoonists against Israel. Cited specifically is the cartoonist Omaya Abu Hamada, who works under the pen name Joha. This kind of article usually pops up whenever there's any instance of political significance in the Middle East involving Israel, like there is right now.

* this article provides a decent if slightly histrionic summary of a controversy over a satirical ad decrying the recognition of the Hawaiian native people as an indigenous people. It gets sort of interesting in that several of the people criticizing the ad seem to be government officials of some sort or another; it's much less interesting once you look at the actual ad and try to figure out why they keep calling it a cartoon to the exclusion of any other description.

* a cartoon that outed a 33-year-old Philadelphia narcotics officers as having some serious issues regarding race causes one article to ask that since the officer probably didn't make the cartoon himself, how deep might a racist network go?

I fully realize that there are alternate viewpoints on the nature of these cartoons, even within the stories themselves, and trust on the readers' ability to process a headline in the spirit in which it was intended.
