In an article at the NY Times about divisions in the American Jewish community over the Iran deal, Rep. Nadler suggests that this cartoon posted on the front page is an example of "anti-Semitism from the left."
Iran Deal Opens a Vitriolic Divide Among American Jews
Mr. Nadler said it pained him both to have his pro-Israel credentials questioned and to see Jewish lawmakers who oppose the deal face questions about their patriotism.
He cited a cartoon on the liberal website Daily Kos, which lampooned Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York, as a traitorous rodent for opposing the pact, as an example of blunt anti-Semitism from the left. (Mr. Schumer made a statement of his own, defending Mr. Nadler as “one of the most steadfast supporters of Israel’s security.”)
When I saw it, it didn't strike me as anti-Semitic, but I'm not that familiar with the history of anti-Semitism. Is the issue his being depicted as a woodchuck? Or being called a traitor? Did anyone else have a problem with that cartoon? The tip jar only got two HRs.
