NYT publishes another antisemitic cartoon, days after global outrage
(Worthy News) – Following a weekend of outrage over an antisemitic cartoon, the New York Times published another offensive cartoon with antisemitic tropes, according to ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt in a tweet.
This is insensitive, inappropriate, and offensive. It shows once again that the @NYTimes needs to educate its staff about #antiSemitism. We call on them to take immediate action. pic.twitter.com/6HBFxduKP7

The cartoon depicts Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with dark spectacles in place of his eyes, holding a tablet marked with a Star of David and taking a selfie, likely referencing that Netanyahu views himself as a modern-day Moses.
Calling it “insensitive, inappropriate and offensive,” Greenblatt said that once again the NYT “needs to educate its staff about antisemitism.” [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
