NY Times Publishes Anti-Semitic Cartoon, Doesn’t Apologize or Show Regret

On Thursday, The New York Times international edition ran a political cartoon that was supposed to show Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leading a blind President Trump around. But the cartoon was filled with anti-Semitic symbolism. Worse yet, when they finally responded to the outcry on Saturday, the Editor’s Note the paper put out noted the offensive nature of the image but didn’t apologize.
As you can see here, the cartoon depicts Netanyahu as a dog with the Star of David around his neck. President Trump was shown wearing a kippah, even though he’s not Jewish and Netanyahu was. Both leaders were drawn with large noses, which is common in anti-Semitic imagery.
