    A strong satire of Birthright Israel. Likely to evoke an equally strong rejection from many American Jewish students who have taken part in Birthright.

      This cartoon expresses the remorse of a deadly bus crash that killed many innocent children. It expresses how these killings are not some by standard and that the people in Egypt mourn those that have died in the mist of the current issues.

      This cartoon appears to be making a statement on Egyptian censorship. Everything that appears on the media may seem fine, but in reality those remarks are just enforced by the government. A remark on freedom of speech.

    This article offers a more lighthearted perspective on media and freedom of speech in the middle east. It focuses on the idea that comedy and satire can be used as a form of free speech through platforms such as youtube. People can relate to comedic forms of entertainment, so it can often be a great way to spread important messages to people who wouldn't see them otherwise.
