The cartoon portrayed a blind President Trump, wearing a skullcap, being led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, drawn as a dog on a leash with a Star of David collar
The New York Times on Sunday apologized for a cartoon published in the Opinion pages of its international edition that drew widespread condemnation for being anti-Semitic.
Eileen Murphy, a New York Times spokeswoman, said the paper was “deeply sorry” for publishing the cartoon. Such imagery is always dangerous, and at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise worldwide, it’s all the more unacceptable The Times’ U.S. edition does not typically publish political cartoons and did not run this one, but the international edition frequently includes them. An editor from The Times’ Opinion section downloaded Antunes’ cartoon from the syndicate and made the decision to publish it, according to Murphy.
James Bennet, the editor who oversees all content on The Times’ editorial pages, declined to comment in detail. “I’m going to let our statement speak for us at this point,” Bennet said. Nancy Lee, executive editor of the Licensing Group, said the group would review its arrangement with CartoonArts.
