A major Jewish organization is refusing to accept the New York Times’ apology for the Times publishing a cartoon depicting the prime minister of Israel as a dog. The cartoon, of Netanyahu’s face with dog ears and a dog body, with a blue Jewish star and a leash held by a yarmulke-wearing Donald Trump, was published in the New York Times International Edition on Thursday, April 25. It was provided by The New York Times News Service and Syndicate, which has since deleted it.”The American Jewish Committee responded to the Times by tweeting, “Apology not accepted. Worse, the dog was wearing a Star of David as a collar.”Wrote Frantzman, “an apology after the fact isn’t enough…. The Times published an op-ed that falsely accused Jewish billionaires of trying to drag America into a war with Iran.
