The New York Times opinion section is facing backlash after running a political cartoon depicting President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the newspaper admitted contained “anti-semitic tropes” and “was offensive.”
The cartoon, which was printed in the opinion section of its international edition of the paper on April 25, shows Trump wearing sunglasses and a kippah being led by a dog with a Star of David for a collar and Netanyahu’s face. The image appeared next to a column penned by Thomas Friedman, according to screengrabs of the page.
