The cartoon portrayed a blind President Trump, wearing a yarmulke, being led on a leash by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is depicted as a guide dog with a Star of David collar.
The New York Times Editorial Board is taking aim at the Times International edition for running what it calls “an appalling” anti-Semitic cartoon.
“The appearance of such an obviously bigoted cartoon in a mainstream publication is evidence of a profound danger,” the board said in a scathing editorial published in Wednesday’s print edition, “not only of anti-Semitism but of numbness to its creep, to the insidious way this ancient, enduring prejudice is once again working itself into public view and common conversation.”
The Times International edition is sold in more than 160 countries around the world, but does not circulate in the United States.
