It’s OK to change you mind about an issue in the light of new information or experiences. I’ve withdrawn these cartoons from circulation.
“The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.”

Despite my strong initial opposition to the speed with which GMOs, without serious public debate, were being tested in the ‘wild’, there has been zero hard evidence they harm human health since then, despite the rate at which they have been consumed. Patents expire. Blanket opposition to GE now seems like a classic conspiracy theory stance.
I don’t believe the Israel / Palestine conflict is as simple and straightforward as portrayed in that old cartoon, particularly in the light of islamist extremism. (It was interesting, though, that it got me branded ‘antisemitic’: a change from the usual ‘islamophobic’ accusation.)
The last cartoon is, again, too simplistic. Some interventions are valid, eg to stop the brutally authoritarian regime in Afghanistan.
