Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell has strenuously denied his picture, depicting Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, UK PM Theresa May, and an image of murdered Palestinian medic Razan Al-Najjar burning in a fireplace, is anti-Semitic.

The cartoon was spiked by the Guardian's editorial staff. After which Bell wrote an angrily-worded email to his boss and Guardian editor, Katharine Viner, after claims from colleagues that his cartoon played on anti-Semitic tropes, report Buzzfeed.

The cartoonist seemed particularly incensed at claims that his illustration could have implied "'wood-burning stoves', 'ovens', 'holocaust', or any other Nazi-related nonsense." The complaints were in relation to the background of the piece, which is dominated by the figure of the 21-year-old Palestinian medic who was recently shot dead by Israeli Defense Forces, while tending to injured protesters in Southern Gaza.

Of the supposed 'oven', he writes: "It's a fireplace, in front of which VIP visitors to Downing Street are always pictured, and the figure of Razan al-Najjar is burning in the grate. It's a widely known photograph of her, becoming iconic across the Arab world and the burning is of course symbolic."

Adding: "She's dead, she was shot and killed by the IDF while doing her job as a medic."

The contentious cartoon was replaced with a sketch of Brexit Secretary David Davis on a unicorn, with pigs flying in the House of Commons, satirizing the day's Brexit shenanigans on the issue of the "backstop". The cartoon was unsigned.

Bell told Viner in his email that his cartoon was "sensitive" but "certainly contains no anti-Semitic tropes," vehemently insisting that it should have been published, but he was willing to recreate it to avoid the criticism the cartoon was receiving in its current form.

"It should have been published as it stands, but if you are still obdurate that it should remain unpublished, then I feel a duty to my subject to try and salvage something from this fiasco, and will resubmit it to you later this morning in a form that may get around some of the criticisms (to my mind wholly unjustified) that were made last night."

Netanyahu has been holding talks with Theresa May as part of his European charm offensive, primarily to drum up support for his opposition to the Iran deal. The Israeli PM had to deal with difficult questioning from Tory peer, Lord Howard, who is of Jewish faith, asking him: "Why could you not use rubber bullets? Why could you – if, in extremis, you had to use live ammunition – not shoot them in the legs? Why did you have to kill them?"

Netanyahu replied: "Hamas wanted the Jews to kill more. Their goal was to have as many casualties. Our goal was to minimize casualties."

At the time of publishing, The Guardian has not issued a response.

They killed the nurse, then they killed the critical cartoon, and, now, they have killed the truth by editting the dead nurse's words.

IDF attempts to smear slain Palestinian medic with inaccurate video

The Israel Defense Forces' attempt to smear medic Razan al-Najjar, the 21-year-old killed last week, backfired when a video it shared on social media was swiftly debunked.

The IDF shared an edited video of Najjar on both its English and Arabic spokesperson Twitter accounts on Thursday.

"Hamas' use of human shields must stop." it wrote in English. "Razan al-Najjar is not the angel of mercy that Hamas propaganda attempts to portray," the Arabic spokesman Avichay Edraee's tweet reads. The Arabic version of the video begins with an image of Najjar with angel wings and a halo. The video, which has an ominous soundtrack, claims Najjar was "incited by Hamas," and it shows footage of Najjar throwing a gas canister.

Another clip shows an interview with Najjar - which has been carefully edited to exclude half of her sentence. "I am Razan al-Najjar. I am here on the frontlines and I act as a human shield," the English subtitles read. The video then cuts to text reading, "Hamas uses paramedics as human shields," before encouraging people to share.

Debunking
However, the video turned out to be made from a heavily edited original. The first scene, which reportedly shows Najjar throwing the gas canister, clearly shows her throw it away from the people she is standing with, and nowhere near the fence. The canister falls in the grass mere meters away from the woman. She is wearing a surgical mask at the time, although it has not been confirmed that Najjar is even the woman in the video.

The next clip featured in the video, the interview with Najjar, is also not as it seems. The IDF decided to cut mid-way through the interview with Al Mayadeen, so viewers have no idea what the second half of her sentence is. The full sentence was: "I am Razan al-Najjar. I am here on the frontlines and I act as a rescuing human shield to protect the and save the wounded at the frontlines."

Najjar was shot in the chest while she was wearing her medical uniform last Friday. A preliminary probe by the Israeli army found soldiers did not mean to fire at Najjar, and that she was not a target.

However, two weeks ago, the IDF shot 19 medical personnel in Gaza in a single day, including Moussa Abu Hassanein, who was fatally shot in the chest. Canadian doctor Tarek Loubani was among the medics who were shot that day, and he maintains they were targeted by Israeli forces.

In her interview with Al Mayadeen, Najjar also said, "With all my strength and determination and whatever risks I will continue my career and I will save all the injured, so that they return and defend our land." Her words suggest that she had no intention of dying as a human shield."

Israel often accuses Palestinians of partaking in 'Pallywood,' which they claim are fake videos and images designed to gain attention from Western media. However, Israel has been caught doing the same thing it accuses the Palestinians of, only in their case, it is an effort to minimize their crimes against Palestinians. Israel has also been found to use Palestinians as humanshields themselves.
