Report: Aussie Cartoons & Anti-Semitism
I found this report compelling for its look at national instances of anti-Semitism over a 12-month period. As anyone who read the recent accounts of Paul Rigby's passing and marveled at the number and depth of the written memorials can guess, Australia has a very rich and serious tradition of editorial cartooning. So claims of exhibited bigotry through cartoons is likely to be a big deal. The sometimes razor-thin line between making a strong political statement and making an ethically untenable one proves fascinating.
