Mary Robinson’s Cartoon Stand A Part Of Medal Of Freedom Debate

This is one of those things that's footnote-ish but still interesting. Mary Robinson, whose husband Nick Robinson is a political journalist that sometimes cartoons (and does origami), is currently up for the Medal Of Freedom. This has led to conservative criticism of the selection by suggesting that Robinson isn't pro-Israel enough. One of the anecdotes brought up in her defense on such matters in
this article and others like it is her open criticism of a booklet of anti-Semitic cartoons passed around during a key meeting and published by the Arab Lawyers' Union.
