The US is trying to get the world onto Israel's point of view and it won't work? It's a bad metaphor.
E: even with the advantage Israel has of its flag blocking the ball

Except the flag isn't even blocking the ball. The flag isn't in the hole, it's embedded in the green a couple inches away, which has got to be a violation of club rules.

I mean, I understand broadly what the cartoon is trying to say (America is bullying/forcing along the rest of the world in re: Israel). It just says it in a very stupid, inept way.

What I find ironic about Rall's Trump current Trump cartoons is that I remember Rall stating in one of his columns that there should be a rule that if you have a parent or relative that was elected to a poltical office, you should atomatically be disqualified for running for that postition. I tried to find the column but after reading several of Rall's pieces I had to stop.

I would just like to note that this rule would have kept FDR out of office.

No doubt, Judge Learned Hand had a remarkable passion for the law. His brutal final years in crutches couldn't crush his enthusiasm for the court. But he had awful taste. More than any other Judge, Hand reinforced the hollow sentimentality and judicial restraint that compose the nasty side of the American character. Democratically oriented and politically unsophisticated, Hand was a sucker for the narrow precedent and speech freedoms brand of sappy watered-down-Formalist opinions, false odes to checks and balances that reinforce the toxic narrative that Americans (and their government) try to do the best they can. Hand was predeceased by his erstwhile sparring partner Oliver Wendell Holmes. Holmes gave "thumbs up" to cases like Buck v. Bell that challenge the ethical and political status quo. Hand belittled ground-breaking eugenics work by experimental researchers.

Hand wasn't that smart. I once spent hours with him discussing Brandenburg v. Ohio. He disagreed when I said it was boring, that Brandenburg is unreadable now. But he couldn't articulate why I was wrong. He kept pointing to the case's historical importance, which I didn't dispute. A lot of judges are sharper than Hand was. Now that his death has opened up space in print and on the bench, it would be good if other, more audacious voices were allowed to be heard.
