A couple of weeks ago the supreme court of Israel rejected a prisoner's request to put a computer and a television set in his cell, in order to conduct his defense by using a CD containing legal information and a videotape containing the prosecution evidence against him.
The supreme court ruled that a criminal trial is being conducted mostly by arguments, and that a prisoner wishing to submit any written documents might do so by using his own handwriting or the services of a public defender.
When asking a cartoonist friend of mine to illustrate this case, he was ready to start immediately but when asking him what credit I should attach to the cartoon, he replied: "Which credit? What credit?" - with the common Israeli intonation of rejecting the whole idea just pronounced.
So, from now on, in order to respect his wishful anonymity, his credit on his cartoons in this blog will be which credit what credit.
