Some of the usual suspects won't jump in. Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League told the Post that the cartoons, though "exclusionary" of Jews, shouldn't be pulled. Barry Lynn, head of People for the Separation of Church and State, says, "If I don't like a cartoon, I ignore it. Personally, I would rather they get rid of Mark Trail...
This point is being made obliquely by Jewish groups and individuals who abjure these offers of institutional compensation and even gently condemn those whose accept them. In TIME last December, Abraham Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, himself a Holocaust survivor, said those "who have claims deserve to bring them forward, but it's at a heavy price.

Foxman cited growing Anti-Semitism in this country and abroad. Particularly disturbing was a 1991 poll that found 31 percent of Americans thought American Jews "too powerful, too successful or too influential...
