Description: The cartoon shows Palestine's leader Mahmoud Abbas, knocking in vain at a huge door to the United Nations. Pushing against the other side of the door, are President Obama and the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. Context: Mahmoud Abbas has formally asked the United Nations to recognise a Palestinian state, defying intense US pressure to abandon the move. The Palestinian leader was greeted with extended applause as he told the UN general assembly that he was seeking recognition of a Palestinian state on land occupied by Israel since 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital because nearly two decades of peace negotiations had failed.

Description: The Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, welcomes the President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, and invites him to sit down on a chair equipped with a lamp and straps for holding down torture victims. Refers to advice from a US consultant that there should be direct talks between the two countries 'with no preconditions,' because a solution to the conflicts involving the two peoples can only be found by the two parties themselves, not in the United Nations.

Description: The cartoon is entitled 'Obama Canute' and shows President Obama as King Canute being dislodged from his throne by a huge sea that represents 'Middle East history.' His throne is being supported from behind by Israel's President Benjamin Netanyahu. Context: The United States has traditionally for political reasons been very supportive of the state of Israel but now Palestine is asserting her right to statehood. Their application to the UNs Security Council, pencilled in for September 23rd, will be rebuffed by an American veto. But if they then go to the UN General Assembly, which seems likely sooner or later, the Palestinians will win an overwhelming majority.

Description: Shows President George Bush standing at a podium flanked by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. He makes a speech in which he considers the amount of money being spent by the USA on keeping Palestine afloat and Israel secure and he wonders optimistically what can be done to make the two get along. Refers to President Bush's most direct Mideast peacemaking of his administration, when he met separately with the leaders of Israel and the Palestinian Authority in late November to explore whether peace was possible.

Description: At the top of the cartoon is text reading 'Sir Geoffrey Palmer to head the UN inquiry into Gaza Flotilla raid.' Sir Geoffrey Palmer is shown saying that the Middle East inquiry will be a doddle after 'the brutal protection of self interest and the callous disregard of the needs of others I encountered reviewing the liquor laws.' Refers to Sir Geoffrey Palmer's saying that heading an inquiry into the fatal Israeli raid on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla earlier this year is probably the hardest job he has ever done. Refers also to Sir Geoffrey's heading the Law Commission's Review of the Liquor Laws - the report 'makes clear that the law is only part of the solution.' To achieve 'enduring change, the need for it has to be reflected in the hearts and minds of the community... that requires an attitudinal shift and a new drinking culture - social attitudes need to be shifted so it is not regarded as socially acceptable to get drunk.'

Description: An Israeli commando stands on an aid ship bound for Gaza and says that food and medicine in the wrong hands can be pretty deadly. Refers to the attack that took place on 31st May 2010 in international waters when boats in the flotilla were boarded by Israeli naval commandos. At least 10 people are reported dead and another 30 injured. Israel has refused to allow ships bearing humanitarian aid into Gaza waters since early 2009 despite condemnation from aid agencies and even the United Nations for doing so. This has devastated the local economy and left Gazans without essential supplies including building materials to repair homes damaged in Israeli attacks. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The cartoon shows an arm with the Israeli six-pointed star on the sleeve. The word 'AID' appears in the centre of the frame and the bloody finger of the Israeli arm paints an 'R' to go in front of 'aid' so that it now reads 'raid'. Refers to the attack that took place on 31st May 2010 in international waters when boats in an aid flotilla were boarded by Israeli naval commandoes. At least 10 people are reported dead and another 30 injured. Israel has refused to allow ships bearing humanitarian aid into Gaza waters since early 2009 despite condemnation from aid agencies and even the United Nations for doing so.

Description: Israeli Prime Minister Yetanyahu holds his head in despair as he reads about the 'World wide condemnation of Israel's attack' in a newspaper. He wonders aloud if 'no-one in the international community understands our methods?!' A man behind is opening mail and is less than happy to say that there is a letter of support from Kim Jong-il PM of North Korea. Refers to the Israeli attack on an aid flotilla that killed nine people and wounded many more when the flotilla tried to sail through the Israeli blockade against the Hamas regime in Gaza. Kim Jong-il's regime is regarded as one of the most repressive in the world; many media organizations outside North Korea report that it is a totalitarian Stalinist dictatorship.

Description: A small Palestinian boy with a blood-stained bandage around his head sits in the midst of the wreckage of his house and writes a letter to Israel explaining that his class wants to write letters of condolence to the families of people killed by Palestinian rockets. He suggests that they might like to reciprocate but points out that the Israelis will have to write a hundred letters to Palestine's three. He apologises for the imbalance.

Description: The cartoon shows a Hamas leader in the Gaza strip shaking his fist and expressing enormous indignation about Israel's attack on the aid flotilla; he says it is a 'filthy, vicious, outrageous...' A Palestinian man standing behind him thinks to himself that it has been a 'wasteful and stupid P.R. gift to their enemies...' Refers to the Israeli attack on an aid flotilla that killed nine people and wounded many more when the flotilla tried to sail through the Israeli blockade against the Hamas regime in Gaza. The cartoon suggests that the attack on the aid ships has probably been a useful PR gift for Hamas. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The cartoon shows British Prime Minister, David Cameron, stating that 'Israel's blockade has turned Gaza Strip into a prison' and 'Pakistan should not be allowed to promote the export of terror.' A man from the 'Civil Service' lurks behind him and hisses that he 'can't talk this honestly. It might catch on.' Refers to remarks made in India in June by Prime Minister David Cameron to the effect that elements within Pakistan are promoting the export of terror, which has caused deep resentment in the Pakistan Army and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency and is likely to slow intelligence-sharing. Refers also to remarks made by David Cameron on a visit to Turkey when he likened the experience of Palestinians in the blockaded Gaza Strip to that of a 'prison camp.'
