So, we've caused an uproar. We know that, are even painfully aware of it. But it was a newspaper, so not really our problem anyway, let them apologise. But what happened?

Our view:

• Cartoon published. Since everyone skips past this page to go straight to the news anyway, noone noticed and it wasn't an issue.

• Israeli ambassador pissed for some reason. Something about a cartoon.

• Israeli ambassador threatens with lawsuits. First time we see the cartoon. Sure, we can see why she's not happy. Then we shrug and move on.

• Israeli ambassador complaints to the press ombuds. Most Norwegians think 'why complain about this old cartoonists cartoons anyway, we all know he's way off...'

• International media takes notice. Oh great.

And here we are. At the same time trying to broker a peace down there. Goodie...

Now, I think (know) this will be ignored in Norway, as bad news tend to be. The outside world will rage for a while, then they'll forget and we can move on.

So I now how Norway will respond, but what about the rest of the world? Will this ruin the reputation as a peace broker in the Mid-East?
