We warned you: the wholesale destruction of Gaza was not an exception, it was a blueprint to crush anyone who opposes the plutocratic imperialism embodied by US/Israel and their global

Jon Kudelka was a very nice man and an exasperatingly good cartoonist. I loved him very much and I will miss him dearly.
