To the Editor:Re “A Despicable Cartoon in The Times” (column, April 29):I completely agree with Bret Stephens that it’s a “despicable” cartoon. I saw the actual cartoon when a friend living abroad shared it on social media and was shocked that a respected newspaper would publish such obvious anti-Semitic propaganda. If the political message of the cartoon was to decry President Trump’s acquiescence to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s demands, why the Jewish — rather than Israeli — symbolism? A legitimate criticism of those policies would be a totally appropriate topic for political commentary or a cartoon. Deborah MajerovitzBrooklynTo the Editor:I was able to find the cartoon online and can see why some people might view it as distasteful.
