Criticisms. His works were criticized by a writer for the Institute for Global Jewish Affairs, part of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs (an Israeli NGO), for allegedly containing "Zoomorphism". In 2002 the Swiss-based Holocaust survivors organization Aktion Kinder des Holocaust sued the Indymedia of Switzerland on the charge of anti-Semitism for publishing Latuff's cartoon titled We are all Palestinians series in their website, which depicted a Jewish boy in Warsaw Ghetto saying: "I am Palestinian." The criminal proceedings were suspended by Swiss court.
In 2006, Latuff placed second and won $4,000, for his cartoon comparing the Israeli West Bank barrier with the Nazi concentration camps, in the controversial Iranian 'International Holocaust Cartoon Competition'. The contest was created in response to Muhammad cartoons published by a Danish newspaper (see Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy), under the notion that those who supported the right to free speech in matters concerning Islam would be placed in a precarious position were they to condemn the antisemitic cartoons aimed to mock and ridicule the Jewish Holocaust. Latuff's entry was described as "Holocaust inversion," a "motif" of antisemitism, by Manfred Gerstenfeld.
In their 2003 Annual Report, the Stephen Roth Institute compared Latuff's cartoons of Sharon to "the antisemitic caricatures of Philipp Rupprecht in Julius Streicher's Der Stürmer." The SRI also complained over a cartoon showing Che Guevara in a Palestinian keffiyeh. Joel Kotek a professor at Belgium’s Free University of Brussels, in his book “Cartoons and Extremism” calls Latuff “the contemporary Drumont of the internet.”( Edouard Drumont was the founder of the French “Antisemitic League of France” and the publisher of "La Libre Parole", a magazine that printed numerous classically antisemitic cartoons during the years of the Dreyfus Affair)

Themes. A vast number of Latuff's cartoons are related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which "became important to Latuff after he visited the area in the late 1990s." These cartoons are heavily critical of Israel and have drawn criticism and allegations of uninhibited utilization of "judeophobic stereotypes in the service of the anti-globalisation movement." In his We are all Palestinians (Arabic "كلنا فلسطينيون") cartoon series, various famous oppressed groups, including Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, Black South Africans during Apartheid, Native Americans, and Tibetans in China, are all shown stating "I am Palestinian". Latuff has also made a series of cartoons that portray Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, United States President George W. Bush, Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and British PM Tony Blair among other politicians as monsters and as Nazis.

Latuff is also critical of US military action in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has made promotional cartoons for anti-US militancy as well as cartoons alleging US actions have been motivated by the chance of making profit from oil. Among the cartoons, there are also some that portray US soldiers as severely wounded, dead, or paraplegic or as harming Iraqi civilians. In his comic series Tales of Iraq War (Arabic "حكايات من حرب العراق" ) he portrays "Juba, the Baghdad sniper", an Iraqi insurgency character claimed to have shot down several-dozen US soldiers, as a "superhero". He has also made a caricature of US President George W. Bush laughing over US casualties.

Early life. Khaled was born in Haifa, then part of the British Mandate for Palestine. Khaled's family fled to Lebanon during the 1948 Palestinian exodus, leaving her father behind. At the age of 15, following in the footsteps of her brother, she joined the radical pan-Arab Arab Nationalist Movement, originally started in the late 1940s by George Habash, then a medical student at the American University of Beirut. The Palestinian branch of this movement became the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine after the 1967 Six-Day War. Khaled also spent some time teaching in Kuwait, and in her autobiography recounted crying the day she heard that John F. Kennedy had been assassinated.
