Since its establishment in 1948, the state of Israel has not ceased
to be a unique and controversial entity: vehemently opposed by
some, and loyally supported by others. In this novel and original
study, Colin Shindler tells the history of Israel through the
unusual vehicle of cartoons - all drawn by different generations of
irreverent and contrarian Israeli cartoonists. Richly illustrated
with a cartoon for every year since Israel's establishment until
2020, Shindler offers new perspectives on Israel's past, politics,
and people. At once incisive and hilarious, these cartoons, mainly
published in the Israeli press, capture significant flashpoints,
and show how the country's citizens felt about and responded to
major events in Israel's history. A leading authority on Israel
Studies, Shindler contextualises the cartoons with detailed
timelines and commentaries for every year. Sometimes funny and
sometimes tinged with tragedy, Shindler offers a new, visually
exciting, and accessible way to understand Israel's complex history
and, in particular, the Israel-Palestine conflict.
