                                                 Israelite painters-caricaturists meet the challenge of international terrorists.

    Now the war appears to be over… “The peace” came and missiles do not blown up now, and silence is set in. But I don’t feel coming back to painting. For sure that is why that I feel generating tension around our country terrifically as well as in the world as a whole. May be something like has been in last thirties of the last century when “the Evil” was on the way of countries, and it was simply underestimated, and its scale was not seen in time.
      During last month (the month of war) I drew only caricatures. And you understand that this one is exactly that you should do to express your attitude to the events! Of course you can’t change situation but you can influence opinions people on the other side of Israel...
