In the same vein as my winter weather cartoons, I recycled characters from a previous unpublished cartoon for a later one on the same basic subject--in this case, ridiculous military censorship.
The current brouhaha is about Ben Zygier, a.k.a. "Prisoner X", the details of whose case were for a while forbidden from publication in the domestic Israeli press by IDF censors while at the same time being widely available from every single other available news outlet. Honestly, I understand where they're coming from, but this tactic is absolutely and completely ineffectual in the ultra-connected 21st century...
...And three years back, much the same thing went down with the scandal involving stolen IDF files being given to a journalist.

What about prisoner J, does anyone care about him! What about Pollard?!
