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.

Hmm. And here we thought the whole concept of the editorial cartoon was to introduce an element of edgy commentary. Guess not! So much for the 'Je suis Charlie Hebdo' BS of 2015 calling for free speech & the right to be edgy in cartoons. (Not if they offend a protected minority)!

Why, that’s the truth!

Too late Alternative Headline: The Failing New York Times prints antisemitic image creating an unsafe environment for Jews, inciting division and normalizing the culture war Democrats have waged against Isreal. There wasn't the word sorry, anywhere in their statement. They just say it was a mistake... Not even close to good enough. Antisemitism has a home on the right and left of the political spectrum.
