South Africa and Israel

South Africa and Israel

The political cartoon illustrates the relationship between South Africa and Israel, portraying Benjamin Netanyahu standing at a distance. In the cartoon, the flag of South Africa is propelled towards Israel by a slingshot wielded by the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

This imagery evokes the biblical tale of King David battling Goliath, symbolizing the perceived power dynamics between the two nations. Netanyahu’s stance suggests a defensive position, while the action of the ICJ implies a challenge or confrontation. Overall, the cartoon underscores the idea of a smaller entity standing up against a more significant, perceived adversary in international relations.
