‘Reagan as 41st Hostage’
In light of Conrad’s hostage cartoon do you still wonder why there is widespread hostility toward The Times among Jews in Southern California?
Oh, how this cartoon brought comfort and joy to the anti-Semites on Sunday morning.
What a libel to suggest that President Reagan is tied down by Israel, read Jews!
Should we look for another Conrad cartoon blaming the Iraq-Iran war on Israel?
Shame on Conrad. Shame on The Times.
