New York Times - Anti-Semitic Cartoon

The New York Times is a disgrace.

Newspaper of record?

Nope. It's an anti-Semitic rag.

This cartoon appeared in the failing New York Times.



Of course, condemnation was rightfully heaped upon the Leftist propaganda operation.

The Times issued the following statement in response to its publication of the anti-Semitic material.

This was not the first statement from the Times on the matter.

The original statement wasn't an apology.

When more than one statement is necessary, it's clear there is a serious failure to accept responsibility.

From FOX News:

The New York Times Opinion section issued a second apology Sunday over a cartoon of President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which was called offensive because of "anti-Semitic tropes."

...The original apology read, “A political cartoon in the international print edition of The New York Times on Thursday included anti-Semitic tropes, depicting the prime minister of Israel as a guide dog with a Star of David collar leading the president of the United States, shown wearing a skullcap. The image was offensive, and it was an error of judgment to publish it. It was provided by The New York Times News Service and Syndicate, which has since deleted it.”

In an op-ed published online Sunday evening, Times columnist Bret Stephens took his employer to task, writing that the cartoon "in another age, might have been published in the pages of Der Stürmer," a virulently anti-Semitic tabloid published during Germany's Nazi regime.

"The problem with the cartoon isn’t that its publication was a willful act of anti-Semitism. It wasn’t," Stephens wrote. "The problem is that its publication was an astonishing act of ignorance of anti-Semitism .... at a publication that is otherwise hyper-alert to nearly every conceivable expression of prejudice, from mansplaining to racial microaggressions to transphobia."

Stephens added that the Times owed Netanyahu an apology and should reflect on "how it came to publish that cartoon — and how its publication came, to many longtime readers, as a shock but not a surprise."

Stephens nails it when he writes that the publication of the cartoon came "as a shock but not a surprise" to longtime readers of the New York Times.

The pure hate exhibited by the Times for Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu is no surprise at all.
