Israel in the Eyes of the Enemy: Israeli Six-Day War Propaganda Booklet of Arab Anti-Israel Cartoons, 1967
Israeli propaganda booklet from 1967 presenting Arab anti-Israel cartoons as hostile evidence after the Six-Day War. The booklet reproduces cartoons and press imagery from Arab sources, framing them for Hebrew readers as proof of enemy intent, antisemitic rhetoric, regional incitement, and political failure. Its design is compact and confrontational, with a red cover, bold Hebrew title, black-and-white cartoons, Arabic captions, Hebrew commentary, and a structure built around exposure, ridicule, and warning.
The book’s propaganda function is explicit. It does not simply preserve Arab cartoons, it converts them into an Israeli wartime dossier. The cartoons are selected, sequenced, and reframed to show Israel through the eyes of its enemies, then returned to an Israeli audience as a visual indictment of Arab governments, Arab nationalism, Soviet alignment, and anti-Israel press culture. It is a rare object of post-1967 Israeli political print culture, valuable not only for the cartoons it reproduces, but for the way it repackages enemy media into a domestic propaganda tool.
