Human rights activists have launched a campaign to stop Facebook from adjusting its hate speech policy to classify the word ‘Zionist’ as a protected category, a move that would make any criticism of Zionism a violation of Facebook Community Standards.

Human rights activists have launched a campaign to stop Facebook from adjusting its hate speech policy to classify the word ‘Zionist’ as a protected category, a move that would make any criticism of Zionism a violation of Facebook Community Standards.

Latuff has spent the last 20 plus years crafting a style that can best be described as “populist cartooning.” He has touched on issues like The Black Lives movement, Apartheid in South Africa, the plight of Native Americans in the US and the oppression of Tibetans in China.

One of his most controversial series was “We are all Palestinians,” in which he compared the actions taken by the Israeli government towards Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip directly to the Nazi’s treatment of Jews. Contact Mr. Latuff and BC.
