The ongoing situation in Gaza and Israel.

A black-and-white historical cartoon by Hermann-Paul depicts two men, labeled 'BARBARIE' and 'CIVILISATION', each holding a sword and striking a fallen person. The 'BARBARIE' figure strikes a man in a hat, while the 'CIVILISATION' figure strikes a man without a hat. The image is overlaid with a caption explaining its original 1899 context during the Boxer Rebellion, contrasting how violence by Chinese laborers was labeled 'barbarity' while violence by French soldiers was called 'civilization'.
