Steve Bell, the Guardian’s longtime cartoonist, was “kicked out” from the British newspaper, according to the cartoonist himself, due to a cartoon on Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu was newspaper believed it to be anti-Semitic.

Speaking about the story, the cartoonist wrote that “it has become almost impossible to draw anything in the Guardian that concerns Israel without being accused of anti-Semitism

"The image itself was inspired by the late, great David Levine's cartoon of President Lyndon Johnson (LBJ) showing off his operation scar, which Levine draws in the shape of a map of Vietnam."
