I am a researcher and translator, a trade unionist and a political activist. I live in Walthamstow, in north-east London. My main area of knowledge and interest is the Middle East, the history and politics of Israel and Palestine, Zionism and Jewish matters. I also contribute on political issues, London and other places I know about, and literary and other cultural topics.

I am old enough to remember when television was black-and white, and there was only one channel. When I was born, Britain had a king; to my regret, it is still a monarchy. When I went to university, one of my lecturers built a computer. We were fascinated by this object, which — if you attached a tape recorder to run a programme — could add up figures entered on a keypad, and print out the answer on an electric typewriter.

"We can not allow nazis to use dignified Palestinian cause as a platform to launch racial hatred. I beg you all to reproduce this cartoon all over Internet. Let's say louder that we are fighting against those racist Jews who deny human rights to Palestinians, AS WELL AS racists who deny human rights to Jews" Carlos Latuff, 27 December 2002[1]
