A cartoon in the September 20th issue of Le Droit by the editorial cartoonist Bado entitled "Parliament Returns" was attacked by Canadian B'Nai Brith on the day of its release for the Star of David symbol in the clock face of the parliament building, which the organization claimed insinuated that Jews controlled the Canadian government. The story then diverged in two directions mostly unique to such mini-controversies. The first is that the cartoonist claimed it wasn't a difference in interpretation but his attempt to draw a symbol that actually exists in that clock face. The second is that another advocacy group, the Canadian Jewish Congress, says they believe the cartoonist.
These kinds of stories tend to work like flash paper rather than a slow burning coal fire, except in rare circumstances, but I thought this one a bit different than most of them for those two developments.
