Herblock refers to Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat’s 1974 speech before the United Nations (UN) by depicting him wearing the symbol of the UN on his keffiyeh and holding a machine gun. On November 10, 1975, the UN defined Zionism as “a form of racism and racial discrimination,” granted the PLO “observer status,” and resolved that the PLO should participate in a Middle East peace solution, while rejecting an attempt by Arabs to oust Israel as a member.
