N.Y. Times apologizes, again, for anti-Semitic cartoon featuring Netanyahu and Trump
By Paul Farhi Paul Farhi Media reporter Email Bio Follow April 29 at 2:12 PM The New York Times has offered an apology three days after its international edition published a cartoon that has been widely condemned as anti-Semitic.
Criticism of the cartoon began to gain momentum on social media starting on Saturday. Critics said it evoked hateful images distributed by Germany’s Nazi regime in the 1930s to dehumanize Jews and depict them as evil manipulators of world opinion. The reaction to the cartoon began to build, including in the Israeli media, as news reports circulated about the shooting of a rabbi and three Jewish worshipers at a synagogue in Poway, Calif., killing one; the suspected gunman is allegedly a self-identified white supremacist and anti-Semite.
On Sunday, as more condemnation rolled in, it issued a fuller apology and partial explanation: “We are deeply sorry for the publication of an anti-Semitic political cartoon last Thursday that circulates outside the United States, and we are committed to making sure nothing like this happens again. Such imagery is always dangerous, and at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise worldwide, it’s all the more unacceptable.
