A Sad End for British-Jewish-Leftist 'Toonist Leon Kuhn

An inquest found that he leapt in front of a London subway train--and to his death--when his marriage of 30 years broke down. Other info about the man (who I had never heard of until reading this in the Jewish Chronicle) makes him sound like something out of Howard Jacobson's novel The Finkler Question:

Mr Kuhn, whose mother Doris came to Britain on the Kindertransport, was a fierce critic of Israel’s military activities and Zionism.  

He once said: “Zionism, which is the official ideology of the Israeli state, has been a disaster for both Jews and Arabs because it totally ignores the history of peaceful co-existence.”  

He also spoke out “against the occupation of Gaza and the West bank by the Israeli army”.  

The London-born cartoonist, who grew up in Golders Green and Hendon and attended the Hampstead-based University College School, worked for left-leaning publications The Morning Star, Socialist Worker, Green Socialist, New Internationalist and The New Statesman.

Sadly for Mr. Kuhn, he totally ignored the reality that "peaceful co-existence" came at an unconscionably high price--Jews in Dar al Islam living as dhimmis and thus at the whim and on sufferance of their Muslim overlords.

Too bad for Kuhn that he died so tragically--and in such ignorance.
