Jewish Cartoonist Confronts "Holocaust" of Middle East Christians"It's totally crazy that the churches are not speaking out; that the politicians are not speaking out; that there aren't demonstrations in the streets." -Yaakov Kirschen
"Dry Bones" appears in the Jerusalem Post and has been reprinted in newspapers from The New York Times to the Wall Street Journal. Now, he's targeting what he calls one of the worst problems in the world today: persecution of Middle East Christians. In just one recent example, this past summer ISIS drove tens of thousands of Christians out of their ancient homes and gave them the choice to either convert or die. Another example is a burned out church in Minya, Egypt, by the Muslim Brotherhood. Kirschen said he can't understand the apathy in the West to what he calls a holocaust facing Middle Eastern Christians. "I think the unusual thing is the apathy," he told CBN News. "It's totally crazy that the churches are not speaking out; that the politicians are not speaking out; that there aren't demonstrations in the streets." So, Kirschen is turning up the volume. His team includes his wife, Sali, and their intern Michael. Together, they've launched an internet campaign to rally support for Middle East Christians. He wants to turn "Dry Bones" fans into members, then activists.
Kirschen's art form, refined over four decades, communicates truths in pictures and just a few lines. This is clearly a mom and pop operation. They offer perks to new members and despite their small size hope to make a big splash for Middle East Christians, especially at this time of year. Kirschen summed up their plight in two cartoons especially for the Christmas season. In one cartoon it says: "Santa Claus will have it easy this year. Just about the only place left in the Middle East with Christians left to visit is the Jewish state." He also penned this cartoon's plea: A Christmas wish for Christian communities across the Middle East: May the world hear your cries for help.
