Since the terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas on October 7, 2023, in which 1,200 people were murdered and 240 were kidnapped, the Qatari and Qatar-affiliated dailies, both those published in Qatar and those published in London, have published many virulent cartoons that celebrate the attacks on Israel and its losses in the war and praise Hamas for "defeating" Israel despite the latter's considerable military power. The cartoons stress that Gaza is standing fast and predict Israel's collapse in the course of 2024.
The following is a sampling of these cartoons:
