(Jewish Group) New York Times Apologizes For Publishing Anti-Semitic Political Cartoon
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)
The New York Times apologized for publishing a political cartoon widely criticized as anti-Semitic.
In a second statement on the cartoon issued Sunday, the newspaper said it was deeply sorry for the publication of an anti-Semitic political cartoon that appeared in its international print edition.
The image, which drew wide criticism, including by Vice President Mike Pence, depicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a guide dog (a dachshund) wearing a Star of David collar and leading President Donald Trump, who is wearing a black kippah.
