  The Lid (lidblog.com)

Portion of comic strip shown here:


. . . "In the latest Sunday installment of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Doonesbury strip, a fictional anti-terrorist fighter—known as “the Red Rascal”—bursts into the bedroom of an actual Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, who is living in Qatar.

"The cartoon shows Haniyeh enjoying luxurious accommodations and identifies him as “one of three Hamas leaders worth billions, who enriched themselves with donor money intended for impoverished Gazans!”

"One of America’s most beloved newspaper comic strips has dared to poke fun at Hamas. Get ready for controversy!

"In the accommodations, he identifies him as “one of three Hamas leaders worth billions who enriched themselves with donor money intended for impoverished Gazans!”

"Garry Trudeau, the writer and artist of Doonesbury, has dared to acknowledge a fact about the Hamas leadership that most of the mainstream news media prefer to ignore." . . .
