Carlos Latuff (Arabic: كارلوس لطوف; born 30 November 1968) is a Brazilian political cartoonist.[1] His work deals with themes such as anti-Western sentiment, anti-capitalism, and opposition to U.S. military intervention in foreign countries. He is best-known for his images depicting the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the Arab Spring.[2]
Latuff's cartoons comparing Israel to Nazi Germany[3] have been labelled as antisemitic by some advocacy organisations and individuals. Latuff has dismissed the charges as "a strategy for discrediting criticism of Israel" and stated that his drawings are aimed at highlighting the similarities between the status of Jews in German-occupied Europe and the status of Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied territories.[4]
