The French newspaper Liberation is facing widespread criticism for publishing a cartoon that depicted Palestinians in Gaza as emaciated figures chasing rats and cockroaches, with a caption that read, "Not before sunset," mocking their hunger during Ramadan. The cartoon, created by Corinne Rey, has been condemned for its insensitivity, racial stereotyping, and dehumanization of Palestinians amidst an Israeli-imposed famine. Critics, including social media users and various news outlets, have labeled the cartoon as racist and dehumanizing, highlighting the severe food shortages in Gaza caused by Israel's blockade. The publication of the cartoon by Liberation, a prominent left-wing newspaper owned by French-Israeli billionaire Patrick Drahi and led by Editor-in-Chief Dov Alfon, a former member of Israeli intelligence unit 8200, has sparked outrage and is seen as an example of mainstream Islamophobia in France. Rey defended her work, stating it aims to highlight Palestinian despair and critique religious absurdity, "to highlight Palestinian despair and critique religious absurdity."
