The New York Post has accused singer Courtney Love (the widow of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain) of antisemitism.

In an article for Jewish magazine Heeb, Love (who is Jewish) said: “Every time you buy a Nirvana record part of that money is not going to Kurt’s child or to me, it’s going to... a handful of Jew loan officers, Jew private banks, it’s going to lawyers who are also bankers.”

Heeb publisher Joshua Neuman reckoned the Post should keep its opinions to itself. In a comment on the magazine’s blogsite, Neuman wrote: “Like it or not, this is how Jews talk to Jews.” Is it?
