Description: An American Uncle Sam figure stands on top of a great mound of corpses from Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine and rants against the violence in Syria. He holds a small barking dog that represents New Zealand and shouts that 'NZ joins us in condemning the ongoing violence in Syria -'. Context: Condemnation is coming from around the world against the violence in Syria as troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad attack people protesting against his regime. The cartoon suggests hypocrisy on the part of the United States in its condemnation of the Syrian situation because of the number of controversial wars it has waged. But New Zealand also is hypocritical since we have always sent troops to support the United States. Colour and black and white versions available Quantity: 2 digital cartoon(s).

Description: Shows Tim Groser, Minister of Trade, reading a Valentine poem from the United States, in which the US says 'Please forget about China and be my Valentine'. The poem has a verse that reads 'No more yellow peril Or reds under the bed Now capitalist China Is my banker instead'. Context: Relates to Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations in which Mr Groser says anti-China rhetoric coming out of the US is becoming increasingly virulent.
