Florida Alligator editor apologizes
The editor of the Independent Florida Alligator (University of Florida) apologizes for a cartoon that ran:
"During the last couple of days, the Alligator and I have been criticized as anti-Semitic and ignorant toward the horrific events of the Holocaust.
My integrity, as well as the integrity of everyone who works here, has been called into question because of cartoons that ran in the space just above this column.
After talking with campus groups, students and members of the community, as well as reading the more than 300 e-mails that have made their way into my inbox, I would like to apologize because people interpreting the cartoon have seen it as propagating myths about Jews that should have been dispelled years ago..."
