4264-070618 RAZAN AL-NAJJAR
An attempted tribute to the Palestinian medic, Razan Al-Najjar, who had recently been killed in the course of her duties by an IDF (Israeli Defence Force) sniper during a demonstration at the Gaza border fence. It was drawn on the occasion of Netanyahu's visit to Downing Street to be photographed in front of the fireplace there, in common with all other visiting foreign leaders. The cartoon was rejected as it supposedly referenced the "ovens" of the death camps where the remains of murdered Jews were burnt during the Holocaust. I felt this to be a wrong, unreasonable and arbitrary supposition. There was no such intended reference.
