“Todas as charges que tenho feito são criticas ferozes sim a líderes políticos, militares, colonos e a Israel enquanto ente político, e não ao Judaísmo ou etnia semita (onde estão incluídos os árabes).”

‘All the cartoons I’ve done are critical but the fierce political leaders, soldiers, settlers and Israel as a political entity, not the Jewish or Semitic race (where the Arabs are included). ‘
