When I was a kid, the only newspaper we ever got was the The New York Times. For me, the "Sunday funnies" were the political cartoons in The News of the Week in Review.
The Oliphant cartoons arrived by email a couple of times a week. On occasion, I really liked what I saw. That ended today. I unsubscribed, and I wrote a letter to the "service" explaining why:
I'm unsubscribing from Pat Oliphant for a reason.
Pat Oliphant's March 25th cartoon could be from the Nazis. It's anti-Semitic. Why hasn't he drawn cartoons of the Arab terrorists murdering innocent Israeli Jews?

Did I over-react?

You absolutely did not over-react!
I would have done the same thing if I were subscribed!!!!
It's frightening to think how much people hate us.
Shalom!
No.
Most of the world has absolutely no clue concerning what the situation in Gaza is today and has been over the past couple thousand years. Being as most people don't know and don't care trying to explain the facts to them just confuses them. The comparisons between Gaza and the Warsaw Ghetto are just ludicrous.

Not at all!
Hadassa, you're so right.
thanks, rickismom
I just saw that others are picking up the story.
The right thing to do.

Shy, many of my readers don't know Hebrew and don't know what you're referring to. So, could you please give a simple translation. Thanks and Chodesh Tov!
Translation:
May G-d grant you, Batya, your reward (for your good deed) and - in contrast - his (Oliphant's) reward (for his hatred of Jews).
This story is now covered at the Jerusalem Post.
Absolutely not!
I saw that picture and said Oy va voy
Shy, thanks. After I posted about it, I saw that it was getting noticed.
a' yes, not good at all.
Now being discussed at Hot Air.
Thanks, Shy, I read hot air.
I consider the cartoon anti-semitic also because there was never any anti-terrorist cartoon about all the missiles and rockets the Arabs launch at Israel. The fact that he ignores it and makes it look like the Arabs are innocent shows his hatred of Israel and Jews.
