Brighton (England), Nov 17 (EFE).- (Image: Guillermo Garrido) Legendary British cartoonist Steve Bell accused ‘The Guardian’ of having “tarnished his reputation” by stopping publishing his cartoons after 42 years by Benjamin Netanyahu which the newspaper interpreted as as an anti-Semite, in an interview with EFE. The firing of Bell, whose annual freelance contract the newspaper will not renew next April, has highlighted the difficulty in navigating accusations of anti-Semitism, especially in the context of the current conflict between Israel and Hamas, as well as Arab countries. Political satire in England. INCLUDES STATEMENTS BY BRITISH CARICATURIST STEVE BELL AND IMAGES FROM HIS CARTOONS. TOTAL TRANSLATION: The problem now, with what happened is that I was punished not for making anti-Semitic cartoons, but for talking about them on Twitter. That’s why I was fired. Because it’s been around for a long time… 42 years this November. And because I’m so identified with that damn newspaper, like it or not, like it or not, because I’ve been there for a fifth of its existence, doing a lot of cartoons, so we’re related, whether we like it or not. . In a sense, it’s a question of freedom of expression, and in a way, it’s about editorial freedom, it’s about the right to make the comments you want to make.
