Publication takes down Hamas drawing by Michael Ramirez after it was criticised as dehumanising towards PalestiniansA cartoon in the Washington Post’s opinion section has triggered controversy and sparked anger over its “racist” and “orientalist” depiction of Arabs and Palestinians. According to the cartoon, published on November 6, he is Hamas. Two days after publication, the outrage on social media, as well as the Washington Post’s website was growing. Late on Wednesday, the publication said it had taken down the drawing after it was criticised as racist and dehumanising toward Palestinians. Unfortunate to see The Washington Post fuel that racist fire.
