Many Are Playing the Drum

The political cartoon “Many Are Playing the Drum” depicts a large drum labeled “war,” symbolizing conflict and aggression. Surrounding the drum are numerous colorful hands, each holding a stick and actively playing the drum. The hands represent nations and regions, including China, Europe, Israel, and Russia, suggesting their involvement or influence in perpetuating or escalating global conflicts. The imagery evokes the idea of collective participation in the cycle of war and highlights the interconnectedness of international relations in fueling geopolitical tensions.
