The newspaper was criticized again later in the day for failing to apologize in its initial response.<\/p>\n<p>In an op-ed published in The Times, Bret Stephens <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/nyt-ripped-anti-semitic-cartoon-non-apology-ryan-saavedra\">criticized<\/a> his own newspaper at the time for promoting anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Times wasn\u2019t explaining anti-Semitism. It was purveying it,\u201d Stephens wrote. \u201cIt did so in the form of a cartoon\u2026in which a guide dog with a prideful countenance and the face of Benjamin Netanyahu leads a blind, fat Donald Trump wearing dark glasses and a black yarmulke. Lest there be any doubt as to the identity of the dog-man, it wears a collar from which hangs a Star of David.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere was an image that, in another age, might have been published in the pages of Der St\u00fcrmer,\u201d Stephens added. \u201cThe Jew in the form of a dog. The small but wily Jew leading the dumb and trusting American. The hated Trump being Judaized with a skullcap. The nominal servant acting as the true master. The cartoon checked so many anti-Semitic boxes that the only thing missing was a dollar sign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe image also had an obvious political message: Namely, that in the current administration, the United States follows wherever Israel wants to go,\u201d Stephens added, noting that the message was false.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">On April 25, 2019 The New York Times published a story with a highly anti-Semitic cartoon picturing Israel PM Bibi Netanyahu as an animal with a Magen David leash held by US president Donald Trump. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time for our generation to make sure that anti-Semitism is prevented. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FosC7SprAS\">pic.twitter.com\/FosC7SprAS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rudy Rochman (@rudy_rochman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rudy_rochman\/status\/1122172528930111489?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 27, 2019<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Times faced backlash over the weekend after many people thought the newspaper\u2019s crossword puzzle layout resembled a Nazi swastika, which was made even worse because it was published at the beginning of Hanukkah.
