I spent this week studying political cartoons and the meaning behind them. While those on Ha'aretz.com that I've been looking at are only in Hebrew, I found a lot in my searches that were in English. I believe part of the message in them is targeted to be persuasive to a wider audience and educational on political views in Israel.
Below is an interesting one:
While much of international media portrays Israel as overly aggressive against Hamas, and Hamas as unorganized and terroristic, this cartoon portrays the two as equally destructive to one another, both bleeding, both baring their teeth, and both hiding behind sunglasses and finally proud of their cause by wearing the drums.
