Editor, Daily Nexus,

I was troubled by Simon Estrada’s “Think” cartoon in Monday’s Daily Nexus. The Jew – depicted with a big nose, wearing a kippah, glasses and sidelocks- echoes anti-Semitic cartoons that appear daily in the Arab press. There is nothing anti-Semitic about questioning Israel, or even the influence of the American Jewish community on U.S. Foreign Policy. Estrada made a distinction between “Hamas” and Palestinian, but no such nuance is granted to “the Jew.”
