Al Manar Can Take a Joke

Al Manar has a page on its site called Caricature with a gallery of political cartoons. A new cartoon is added to the gallery every day and even though the words are in Arabic, the imagery makes the messages very clear.

Political cartoons have been accredited with being able to capture complicated political situations with visual metaphors and can be a persuasive form of communication. In my opinion, Al Manar's cartoons successfully capture Hezbollah's worldview and it is worth noting that Al Manar has added humor to its arsenal of persuasive tactics.
