Conrad on the Mideast Conflict

There was a time when I was willing to believe that Conrad was simply critical of Israel’s policies. His cartoon of Jan. 21, however, tells me otherwise. All the characters are depicted with head coverings and prayer shawls. Uncertain that we will all understand that these people are Jews, Conrad draws every one of the characters with a big nose. And where have we all seen that before? Shame. Shame. Shame.
