Sine Sues Charlie Hebdo For Wrongful Termination on Anti-Semitism Charge

I've had a difficult time getting a handle on
this story, about the cartoonist
Sine suing
Charlie Hebdo for wrongful termination after an anti-Semitism charge springing from an article where he wrote in one has to imagine satirical fashion about a false news report that had the son of the French president converting to Judaism. This
newsbrief update makes me feel better about my own confusion, as it sputters its way through a bunch of side and contributing issues, such as the impact of a cultural split at the magazine based on generational identity and the cartoonist's previous battles against other cartoonists. Heck, I'm only about 30 percent sure I've typed this far without making some egregious factual error. If someone wants to write me a letter explaining their take on things, I'd be more than happy to run it.
