PRIVATE Eye has issued a statement after a cartoonist announced he had quit in a row over a recent cover.
Zoom Rockman said he had received a death threat about a cover which contained the warning that the issue contained “some criticism of the Israeli government and may suggest that killing everyone in Gaza as revenge for Hamas atrocities may not be a good long-term solution to the problems of the region”.
We are very concerned that one of our contributors should have received a death threat and contacted Zoom as soon as we found out. 1/2“We spoke to him at length yesterday. He did not approve of last issue’s cover and no longer wishes to contribute to the magazine.However, Rockman alleged he had informed bosses at Private Eye about the threat but that he had received “no response” when he alerted them to the threat.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
