The condemnation for the New York Times continued on Sunday after the newspaper’s international print editions ran an anti-Semitic cartoon depicting Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a guide dog leading a blind President Trump in a skullcap. White House counselor Kellyanne Conway called the cartoon, which ran last Thursday, “odious and offensive” and ridiculed the Times for its mea culpa. It was provided by The New York Times News Service and Syndicate, which has since deleted it,” said the statement from the Times. The Simon Wiesenthal Center said the Times “needs an intervention.”“It runs a cartoon on #Passover deploying animalization of world leader, @netanyahu as a dog, replete with #StarofDavid leading @POTUS. “The anti-Semitic caricature published by the New York Times is shocking and reminiscent of Nazi propaganda during the Holocaust,” Erdan told the Times of Israel.
