The New York Times is facing outrage after running an anti-Semitic cartoon depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a dog on a leash held by a blind President Donald Trump
It is promising"significant changes" in its decision making process in the wake of the embarrassment.The cartoon appeared in the opinion section of the international print edition of the paper next to a column by Thomas Friedman about immigration. The Times apology came Sunday afternoon after it issued an earlier statement saying it was wrong to run a cartoon that contained"anti-Semitic tropes." But that statement did not contain any apology.
— New York Times Opinion April 27, 2019 "Apology not accepted. How many New York Times editors looked at a cartoon that would not have looked out of place on a white supremacist website and thought it met the paper's editorial standards? What does this say about your processes or your decision makers? How are you fixing it?" tweeted the American Jewish Committee. Apology not accepted.
— AJC April 27, 2019 David Harris, the CEO of the AJC, also condemned the Times and its lack of a full apology."No, 'apology' isn't adequate. Rather, [the New York Times] owes readers an explanation of how this happened — after all, decision to print it involved more than one person — & what it says about the paper's view of Israel & Jews," he wrote in one tweet."While #Antisemitism is rising...synagogues are attacked & Jews killed...
While #Antisemitism is rising...synagogues are attacked & Jews killed...democratic #Israel is demonized...& Jewish institutions are forced to bolster security...— David Harris April 27, 2019 The cartoon and the initial lack of apology was also criticized by White House counselor Kellyanne Conway in an appearance on"State of the Union" on CNN on Sunday.
