NY Times prints Netanyahu-Trump cartoon with ‘anti-Semitic tropes,’ apologizes
Image included in paper’s international edition shows premier as a dog guiding a skullcap-wearing US president; paper says it was ‘offensive, an error of judgment’
By TOI staff   Today,

The New York Times on Saturday apologized for publishing a caricature in its international edition it said “included anti-Semitic tropes” and called its use an “error of judgment.”

The image included in Thursday’s international print edition showed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a guide dog wearing a Star of David on his collar, and leading a blind US President Donald Trump, seen wearing a skullcap.

Cartoon is at link. I don't think anyone needs to repost the cartoon here. It is an interesting story that NYT would do this and it sounds like it is only in its "international edition".

"Tropes"? Sheesh, that looks like something you'd see in the Arab media and other places like that....

Maybe the Slimes is borrowing ideas from Der Sturmer.     Julius Streicher's cousin could be helping them. Or are some of Osama Bin Ladin's pals involved?  Are hook-nosed caricatures next?

Here's the cartoon.  Won't post the actual photo out of respect for @TomSea sensitivities.

The cartoon is in the original article and, it may not be about "sensitivities", it could be about respecting others. It's a judgement call for all. Perhaps, we don't need that kind of thing splashed around this website.

The proper response to the NYT...

Yeah .. it's the same "judgment call" that told us actual photos of the horror on 911 should not be shown.  I didn't agree with that judgment call @TomSea and I don't agree with yours.   All your judgment does is protect the New York Times --- at least the Times of Israel wasn't afraid of the truth.

Post whatever one wants within reason.  Not my forum, I don't make the rules.

I do note, OANN also, is refusing to show that cartoon. The image is at the link. That's enough. I feel vindicated.
