Arafat Cartoon Exhibition Causes Uproar
(Al-Araby Al-Jadeed-UK) Qassam Muaddi - The Yasser Arafat Foundation announced on Monday the removal of all cartoons from a controversial exhibition it had inaugurated on Sunday at the Yasser Arafat Museum in Ramallah. It included 104 artists from 43 countries and 350 works representing the artists' depictions of Yasser Arafat, "not the reality of who he was," the curators said. But some Palestinians felt that some of the artworks were "insulting" to Yasser Arafat and his memory. The Fatah movement, the party led by Arafat for 40 years, said, "We...call upon the Yasser Arafat Foundation to remove all the insulting works and apologize, or we will have to remove them ourselves."
