I've always loved the
Dry Bones comics by
Yaakov Kirschen. He doesn't know it, but when I was a kid, my favorite t-shirt was the "Dry Bones Proteczia" t-shirt. (Little did I realize how important "proteczia" would be, when I would move to Israel...)
Whats sad though, is how the consensus of Israel's political spectrum has moved to the left over the past 30 years.
What used to be middle of the road Zionism, such as the unity of Jerusalem and many of the themes in "Dry Bones" are now considered to be "right wing." Yaakov himself recently wrote the following about a
30 year old post on Jerusalem.
Today Israel is officially celebrating Jerusalem Day! Back in 1973 this cartoon was a light joke that made folks chuckle. These days it reads like a fundamentalist manifesto. Did it make you laugh? ...or wince? ...or pound the table and shout "right on!"?
And then he continues on the with following "State of Palestine Quiz".
Gasp. Debunking Palestinian Myths? How radically right wing...

Keep up the great work, we'll keep reading!
