A cartoon of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon eating the head of a Palestinian baby against

the backdrop of a burning Palestinian city has won first prize in the British Political

Cartoon Society's annual competition.

There were 35 entries in the Cartoon of the Year competition, sponsored by the British

Independent newspaper, from some of the country's leading cartoonists.

Dave Brown's winning cartoon was published in the Independent a few months ago, when

it was claimed that it was inspired by a Goya painting.

In his acceptance speech, Brown thanked the Israeli Embassy for its angry reaction to the

cartoon, which he said had contributed greatly to its publicity.
