Conrad on Israel and Conflict With the Palestinians

I find this cartoon not only inaccurate, but destructive. It is tragic that Conrad finds it necessary to inflame sensitivities with baseless inferences. It is unfortunate that he has developed a pattern of this kind of inappropriate editorializing.

I have always understood that the purpose of editorials, whether in picture or in word, was to be constructive and to point to potential solutions. This level of journalism is expected in sensationalist publications at check-out stands. It appears that The Times has lowered its standards and ethics by publishing such material.
