Happy New Year to all members of #our_Palestinian_people, the Christians and the Muslims, and #Merry_Christmas to you."

The cartoon shows Santa Claus lying face down on the ground, with his hands restrained behind his back by a Star of David functioning as handcuffs. On a chain around his neck is the symbol of “the right of return” of the Palestinian "refugees" – a key. Next to him on the ground are a sack and a bell. Behind him is a sign pointing to Jerusalem and "Beit Lahem" in English and Arabic. In the background is a barrier, and beyond it are buildings, including churches topped by crosses.
