Awful Oliphant

The Wash. Post political cartoonist Patrick Oliphant has drawn attention to his current act of disgust:

(IsraelNN.com) The Anti-Defamation League has protested against a cartoon published Wednesday by syndicated cartoonist Pat Oliphant which shows a Nazi-type storm trooper wheeling a fanged Star of David that appears ready to devour a woman and child labeled “Gaza”, both much smaller than the headless figure and star. [...]

Oliphant has faced criticism in the past for his virulently anti-Israel drawings.

I just wish it weren't the ADL that brought attention to this, because of how pretentious I think they are. But this Oliphant is a most distasteful character and should be looked upon in disgrace for what he's done. He's also pulled some Chomskyite/anti-war stunts too, if that matters.

(I'm not sure if Ed Morrissey is fully qualified to comment on this either, recalling some of his own pretentious commentary.)
