In this post, I present to you a selection of caricatures of Arab inaction. The caricatures are by two of my favorite caricaturists, the Syrian Ali Ferzat and the Jordanian Emad Hajaj.
- Hajaj uses a famous line from an old Arabic poem: “Today we drink, tomorrow we act”. In the cartoon, every day in the calender is “tomorrow we act”.
Another Hajaj cartoon:
Waiting fro Zero Hour
Hajaj again: “The Story of a Death Foretold”. He drew this in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq:
The story of a death foretold
Now Ali Ferzat: The clock fell apart…
The clock fell apart
Another Ferzat: The chief of the Arab League is giving a very important speech…
The chief of the Arab League giving an important speech
Ali Ferzat: When Arabs help…
When Arabs help...
Finally, when we hold high hopes…
High hopes...
