   That’s what I like about Oliphant: high-speed lynching. If he liked the fellow I’m sure he draw a cartoon advocating the presumption of innocence until a jury had done its job.

   Mike, here’s the deal: Alzheimer’s sneaks up on you. We always accepted my mother’s “peculiarities” as just “Mom.” However, when my brother-in-law married into the family 10 years before a diagnosis, he told us at her funeral that his fresh eye saw the symptoms we came to recognize as this creeping death. We lived around the corner from Mom; Ron Jr. saw his father only occasionally: he saw the changes, but they never quite register at the time. Imagine how the stink of “treacherous son” would have stuck to him if he had raised the issue at the time. No one would have believed it.

   As a political cartoon, it’s excellent. It meets all the requirements for creating symbols and communicating a message. It’s one more nail of delegitimization. Of course, we’ll ignore the Hammas goal of eliminating Israel; we’ll just expect Israel to fade quietly into history. Bpaulwhite is right: this will become a new classic of anti-Semitism cartooning and will be joyfully reproduced. Why couldn’t the Germans have been more efficient?
