At the end of SMH's mealy-mouthed apology, this:
"Wilcox and other cartoonists must be allowed to continue to draw the world as they see it."
If that's their position, the rest is redundant.
And only reinforces how easily the media, like cultural bodies, fold in the face of Israel lobby bullying.

Cathy Wilcox does consistently brilliant and incisive cartoons and if you compare them to the revoltingly unfunny racist musings of so many others I can’t even begin to imagine who decided her cartoons were the divisive ones…or how this is where we’re at.
