Cartoon of naked Sharon devouring infant wins top UK prize
By Haaretz Service
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.

Becuase Sharon is backed by kkk minded Christian fundamentalists this money is guaranteed even as he acts like a monster. Yet this image remains chilling and inappropriatedue to the extreme conditions the gypsies live under in Europe and the way this kind of propogabda works.","author":"gypsy","parent_id":95612,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-11-27 08:41:48","modified":"2003-11-27 08:41:48","fileurl":""},{"id":95622,"heading":"Gypsies","article":"I've had many encounters with gypsies in my time and all I've seen is agressive begging and petty thieving.\r\n\r\nNot to mention the mess they leave on people's doorsteps when they move on.\r\n\r\nMaybe, there's a bit of give and take here?
