While calling a cartoon (pictured) recently posted by a pair of “pro-Palestine” groups “unequivocally and reprehensibly antisemitic” (it features a hand “branded with the Star of David with a dollar sign at the center […] holding a noose that circles the necks of two men who appear to be Muhammad Ali and former Egyptian President Gamal Nasser”), the editors nonetheless say the post “was just that: an Instagram post.” ...

Uh huh. Except that one of the groups is the Harvard Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine (emphasis added). Shouldn’t we assume these folks are rather intelligent — despite being just a “handful of activists”? The chair of the school’s history department is a member, after all.
