Adam Levick: Anti-Semitic Cartoons on Progressive Blogs - '...The question of how the more mainstream liberal-Democratic blogosphere will respond to the continuing presence of such hate speech in their own ideological community remains open.

For committed antiracists - or anyone, for that matter, truly concerned about the values of tolerance and diversity, and the future direction of the entire "progressive" movement - the seeming refusal to take such trends seriously represents, at the very least, an egregious case of hypocrisy. More important, the failure to act in the face of such clear expressions of Jew-hatred constitutes a shameful - and potentially calamitous - moral abdication.' [Important.]
