] This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available ]. Student editor(s): ].

== Original Research ==

Huge segments of this article are interpretations of Latuff's art by editors (referenced to primary sources linking to Latuff's art). The interpretations are often negative and followed by labeling the cartoonist as "anti-American" or "antisemitic". This seems like a clear violation of both OR and BLP. I propose we remove these. Also the text contains a large volume claims of antisemitism by people who are not notable. Are these not against BLP and NOTE? ] (]) 23:49, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
: You are correct. // ] (])
:: Someone should correct it, tbh. When it comes to NPOV, this article is somewhat of a "joke". ] (]) 20:57, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
:::Agreed. ] (]) 01:06, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

== POV ==
Also, when it says he depicts characters like former brazilian president Lula as either a monster or a nazi, in the same level he depicts Bush or Blair - this is simply not true. His criticism about Lula is of a different nature. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 22:44, 7 May 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Guys, this article is not balanced at all. Reading it makes it seem like he is almost a self-professed Jew hater, which I don't think is quite accurate. ] (]) 19:45, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

:Well, you sound like an extremely naive ultra-leftist. This article is indeed biased, but for the opposite reason: it makes him seem like he is only anti-Israel, but the truth is that he is extremely anti-Semitic and advocates the genocide of Jews from the Land of Israel. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 05:06, 13 January 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

::Latuff has never attacked the Jews as a people, nor has he advocated "genocide" or even reversal of Jewish settlement since 1948 outside of the current occupied territories. Inserting these erroneous views into an article is a violation of NPOV as well as BLP. I would agree with Pikolas that the article as it stands is barely acceptable on these grounds anyway. ] (]) 06:01, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

::: I agree with ]. This article is not balanced at all, and you do not need to be a "naive ultra-leftist" to see that. The only requirement is that you are not a party to the dispute or a person with strong opinions regarding the issue at hand. For the articles development, outbursts like "naive ultra-leftist" should be avoided. However, I guess all can agree on that such a statement says more about the political bias of the "proclamer". Regards, ] (]) 15:56, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

::::I don't know about whether you guys are "extremely naive ultra-leftists" or not, but the guy is clearly a vicious antisemite whose cartoons wouldn't be out of place in the ]. It might help if you guys read WP's articles on ], ], and ]. Cheers. ] (]) 08:01, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

:::::Not everyone criticizing Isreal is anti-semitic. Latuff is sometimes a bit over the top with his cartoons but nothing that would justify such a classification. --] (]) 08:22, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

==Image reinforcing bias==
I know Latuff authored ], however, the article is already very biased towards his accusations of antisemitism (in violation of ]), and that cartoon only reinforces that bias. In my opinion we should use a less controversial image, like ] (which also serves to illustrate better his themes, i.e. the Palestinian conflict). Let's please reach some sort of consensus before engaging in fruitless edit wars. ] (]) 06:54, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

:Well, let's face it: a) it was a drawing by Latuff, b) Latuff ''IS'' controversial for drawings like these and c)he is more known for being anti-Israel than being pro-Palestine.
:To give some evidence: when I search “Latuff Palestine” on Google, I get 225.000 results. However, if I search “Latuff Israel”, I get 413.000 results. Thus, your idea of Latuff as a non-controversial artist of Palestinian children is quite wrong. I’m afraid you are violating the ]-rule this way. Regards, ] (]) 07:39, 17 September 2013 (UTC)


{{small|Above undated message substituted from ] by ] (]) 16:49, 16 January 2022 (UTC)}}
::To be clear, my reasoning is not emotional on this topic, I am neither a Jew nor an Arab, so justdontlikeit (which is not a rule, but an essay) doesn't apply to my argument, which is essentially rational. Also, your third point is questionable. Where is he better known as anti-Israel? Anglophone media, for sure, as Portuguese media doesn't portray him as an antisemite at all. That's bias, uncompatible with an encyclopedia that purports to be universal. Google searching isn't exactly science either.
== Excessive external links ==
::All in all, what I mean to say is that 1) hell yes, he's controversial 2) yes, he did draw up polemic cartoons 3) from an objetive perspective, the cartoon serves to illustrate his "controversialness". ''However'', the article is already pretty biased, and on a subjective level, the image only reinforces that view on the reader. ] (]) 17:00, 18 September 2013 (UTC)


We now have five links in the external links section. As per ], this is excessive. See ]: {{tq|Normally, only one official link is included. If the subject of the article has more than one official website, then more than one link may be appropriate, under a very few limited circumstances. However, Misplaced Pages does not provide a comprehensive web directory to every official website. Misplaced Pages does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject's web presence or provide readers with a handy list of all social networking sites. Complete directories lead to clutter and to placing undue emphasis on what the subject says.}} Can we choose which one or two to include and delete the others?
:::Just like you, I’m not jewish or Arabic. However, I fail to see how the quality of someone’s opinion on this article needs to be based on ethnicity. Having said that, it is preferable to have a picture in an article that supports it. As you are saying above, the Gaza Boat –image reinforces the article. And that is what images should do in an encyclopedic article.
:A Google search yields this article as the first result at the twitter page as the second, so I guess it is the most popular official link. ]]] 20:58, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
:::As for the google-search: whether you use the English “Palestine” or the Portugese “Palestina” in the search: the number of results stay the same. So much for being universal. If you find some ] which proves otherwise, I’ll be happy to read it.
:::Finally: if you think that the article is biased… well, nobody stops you from editing it in a way that you consider to be better. But then again, since we agree that he ''is'' controversial, I doubt my proposed image will be out of place. Regards,] (]) 10:09, 19 September 2013 (UTC)


== Cuckolding fetish ==
It is undisputed that the cartoon is drawn by Latuff, and that he is well known for such drawings. If the implications of those facts are unflattering to Latuff, then perhaps he should rethink what he draws, but it is not a blp violation to show latuff's work on latuff's article. Both images are appropriately licensed. Use them both, but there is certainly no policy based reason to exclude the ship image. (Consensus could certainly choose to exclude it, but thus far there does not seem to be such). ] (]) 14:34, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
:Context is important. If the article insinuates that he's antisemitic, then displaying images out of context could be used to reinforce these accusations. I'd rather see some kind of critical reception and sourced commentary on his work, rather than just throwing a bunch of controversial, politically incorrect images on the page and guiding readers to a certain viewpoint. ] (]) 01:40, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
*I don't see a real problem with the image in question. It appears to be representative of the artist's work, and it doesn't look at all anti-Semitic—just anti-Israel. There's certainly no BLP violation involved. And personally, I'm not a fan of the Bombman.gif image. Maybe the broken English was intentional, but it doesn't reflect particularly well on him either way. --] (]) 18:02, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
::The RfC is over for two weeks, and I think that the consensus is more on my side for reinserting the picture. Moreover, the article isn't edited in such a way that the boat-image would be out of place by now. I think it is safe to put the boat-picture back. Regards.] (]) 20:26, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
:: The octopus is a traditional symbol in anti-Semitic literature; see ] and ] for a couple examples. talks about the octopus's negative connotations even in contexts distant from the Jews.--] (]) 20:49, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
:::I certainly don't disagree that the octopus has antisemetic overtones. Not sure what your argument was (include or don't include?) Certainly latuff has been acused of anti-semitism, and his use of traditional anti-semetic imagery is relevant to the sources that are discussing such allegations. ] (]) 20:57, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

== The Predictable and Tired Old "Alleged Anti-Semitism" Section ==


https://twitter.com/latuffcartoons/status/842577690322501632
Anytime you read an article in Misplaced Pages about someone sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, there is always a 'Alleged Anti-Semitism' section, which repeats the same tired and generally false slanders against whoever the article is about. In this piece, as usual, it's just a propaganda technique by the pro-Israel side, with pretty thin evidence. I vote we just remove the whole section, or at least cut it down to a couple of pro-and anti-sentences, without a subhead. ] (]) 17:09, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
*I agree wholeheartedly with your argument, but as you can see in this talk page, even raising concerns about the flagrant POV can lead to heated discussions. I would suggest expanding other sections to reduce the weight of the accusations against him, which are currently disproportionately large in the article. ] (]) 22:42, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
:If you don't see how depicting Jews as inhuman monsters who drink the blood of Palestinian babies and wear Nazi uniforms is anti-semitic you are either in denial or have no idea what anti-semitism is.] (]) 16:25, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
:It really doesn't matter if the accusation is right or wrong The accusation (and counterarguments) have been discussed in many reliable sources and are certainly a notable part of Latuff's career and reputation. It falls very clearly under ] ] (]) 17:04, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
:: And ] then? // ] (])


https://twitter.com/latuffcartoons/status/842577690322501632
:So ] has got a point in that the section in question further detracts from the already pretty low quality of this article. So I've just fucking got rid of it. If any of you ]] don't like it, then do a proper job of putting together a semi-coherent section that doesn't read like it's been blurted out by a spoilt prat in a hissy fit.

We have a detailed section on allegations of antisemitism, sourced to high quality sources (Stephen Roth Institute, Kotek, AKdH) . The lead should summarize the article, and include mention of this, with a statement the Latuff himself disputes the claim. There is no BLP issue here. ] (]) 00:20, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

:These are rotten activist sources, who generally find *anyone* critical of Israel "anti-semitic". At the same time, we know that A: the finances activist sources are often murky, B: Israel is actively supporting pro-Israeli "Hasbara" editing. Make you own conclusion. At the same time, independent Jewish sources, like the Forward, clearly states that Carlos Latuff is ''not'' anti-semitic: who do you place in the lead: rrrrrrrright, the "activist" sources.

:::"WIDELY reported in reliable sources", yet only purely activist sources like ], ] and ] are used in the article?

::Let me repeat, since you apparently didn't bother to read what I wrote: Read the ] article.

:::On *this* issue is it. On other issues, it might be different. And I´m soooooo sick of these threats "not fit to be editing in this topic area, and I will probably take action to see to it that you don't" etc. Either report me, or just shut up. ] (]) 23:04, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
::::Expect to see yourself at AE in the upcoming weeks. Someone who thinks that an academic institution that is a research organ of one of the world's top 200 universities, which is focused on research of antisemitism is a "rotten activist source" on topics of antisemitism either does not understand wikipedia's policy on reliable sources well enough to be editing, period, or possibly worse, understands it well enough, but knowingly violates it when it comes to a specific topic because she wants to push a POV, in which case she should be topic banned. It will probably take me a few days to put together an AE case. Adios. ] (]) 23:45, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

And you glibly dismiss any concerns Jews might have about what's going on as "vile and conspirator". It's sad, really, but not surprising historically.
:::::::::But none of this is relevant here. The "Jewish and Israeli" press is considered RS here, like it or not.
:::::::::All that said, I just had a look and the caption on that image is not at all NPOV. It states as fact that it was used in primary education. It should say it was posted on a website used by the Belgian whatever, but they say it was in a user content generated area and was removed. Or something like that. ] (]) 18:57, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

*If you had read everything in the link above, you would have seen that it was actually the Jews of Norway who protested most strongly against what some Jerusalem-based people wrote about anti-semitism in Norway. And I have never, ''ever'' seen ms Anne Sender, the then elected leader of the Jewish community of Norway, as angry as when the Israeli ambassador to Norway played the role as a "spokesperson" for the Jews of Norway. The Jews of Scandinavia are *quite* capable of speaking for themselves, thank-you-very-much. What ''they'' say about anti-semitism in Scandinavia: now, *that* I will listen to, any day. What people in Jerusalem say about it: not so much.
*Back to the cartoon: I agree, that the caption should be changed "to posted in a user content generated area and was removed" etc. The question then remains: is this notable? To me it sounds extremely trivial? ] (]) 19:47, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
::''They said'' it was in a user content generated area. That's their POV. The newspapers say it was on the site in general. That's their POV. NPOV requires we show both. I don't think it's trivial that this kind of crap gets to be displayed on a resource for teachers in Belgium. I think it's also a good example of the kind of cartoons Latuf produces and the controversy they generate, including when used by others. ] (]) 20:00, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

With the additional information from the new articles on this topic, I think we should change the way the material is presented. It is probably no longer correct to say that it was "featured in curriculum", which is sort of a ] against the Belgian educators (although ] is probably big enough to have this not be an issue). However, the revised version of events is further support that some of Latuff's Cartoons are considered antisemetic by many (including in this case the Belgian educators/website, who removed it when notified of it) ] (]) 14:03, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
:It was indeed considered antisemitic but the idea that comparing Israel today to the Nazi regime would be antisemite is controversial and not shared by everybody. ] (]) 14:56, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

:::I agree with you. In the current situation, both points of view exist so it is a matter of ]. If the section is kept and/or developed and WP:CONSENUS considers WP:DUE WEIGHT is to keep all this, the picture could receive per WP:NPOV a caption such as : ''exemple of controversial cartoon by Latuff for which he is accused by some of antisemitism whereas other considers this accusation as part of the policy to attack for antisemitism virulent opponents to the policy of Israel'' (and as long as everything is sourced!). ] (]) 06:25, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Excessive external links

We now have five links in the external links section. As per WP:EXT, this is excessive. See WP:ELMINOFFICIAL: Normally, only one official link is included. If the subject of the article has more than one official website, then more than one link may be appropriate, under a very few limited circumstances. However, Misplaced Pages does not provide a comprehensive web directory to every official website. Misplaced Pages does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject's web presence or provide readers with a handy list of all social networking sites. Complete directories lead to clutter and to placing undue emphasis on what the subject says. Can we choose which one or two to include and delete the others?

A Google search yields this article as the first result at the twitter page as the second, so I guess it is the most popular official link. WarKosign 20:58, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

this ref is worth nothing as your claim is not supported + its in a foreign language without translation. --Denniss (talk) 19:33, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Non english sources are allowed, but it is in bounds to ask for a translation of the relevant portion. Misplaced Pages:Verifiability#Non-English_sources.

Stance on Russia-Ukraine war

The article clearly lacks any mentions of pro-russian sentiment shared by the subject. Since 2014 he made several caricatures depicting Ukrainians in a dehumanizing way, like this:

https://twitter.com/LatuffCartoons/status/1504505076290891778 https://ms-my.facebook.com/internationalriot/photos/ukraine-antimaidan-euromaidanfrom-latuff-brasil/671544492901910/

I, as a Ukrainian, find it offensive

He oftentimes dubbs the Russian narrative about "all Ukrainians are nazis", examples:

From what the subject posts in social media, his Iran-China-Russia bias is obvious, and it should be pointed out in the article. Choomaque (talk) 21:44, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

I agree completely and it's a shame that it's not mentioned in the article. Do you know of any reliable sources so we can put it in? 84.148.208.43 (talk) 21:17, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
