Too be fair, I didn't really think the cartoon they tweeted was antisemitic. Inaccurate, yes, but not antisemitic. But to tweet anything from a person who participated in the International Holocaust Cartoon Competition hosted by the Iranian government (yeah they said they had nothing to do with it. I don't believe that for a second), let alone won second place is a horribly stupid move on their part. Here's a link with some of the other "winners" from that contest.
