Part 1: Americans turn away from support of Israel
In addition to anti-Semitism, another reason for Israel’s falling popularity in the U.S. is the morbid reality I mentioned — the 70,000 dead bodies.

Today’s toon
Well, technically speaking, it’s not a cartoon, but it is close enough to fulfill the promise of the headline. (That’s journo talk.) Yes, it is politically incorrect. You know my rule — if it makes me laugh, I use it. It should go without saying, but just in case
