IDF Soldier Files Civil Suit Against Caricaturist For Demonization

There are no proper names in this article as one assume exist in the suit being discussed, but apparently an ultra-Orthodox Jewish soldier has sued the maker of a leaflet for the accompanying image, which he claims demonizes soldiers like himself by showing them as monsters chasing children with guns and tied to the wider government apparatus (the thing on his arm there). I will admit to my usual confusion over how this isn't clear editorializing that seems totally fair to me just as an opinion to hold and express no matter where I might personally fall on the spectrum of belief about such soldiers, the wider situation and the people involved. Then again, this case will not be tried in a court based in my living room. It seems to me there are a good half-dozen major suits against cartoonists a year now in countries all over the world, and that this is a worrisome trend.
