US Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday condemned the New York Times for an anti-Semitic cartoon that appeared in the newspaper’s international edition over the weekend. In response to a tweet from the New York Times Opinion account saying that the image “was offensive, and it was an error in judgment to publish it,” Pence accused the publication of anti-Semitism. “The anti-Semitic caricature published by the New York Times is shocking and reminiscent of Nazi propaganda during the Holocaust,” Erdan said. Both leaders’ sons also slammed the New York Times over the Thursday cartoon. pic.twitter.com/1rl2vXoTB3 — New York Times Opinion (@nytopinion) April 27, 2019Israel’s Channel 13 news reported Saturday night that Danny Dayan, Israel’s consul-general in New York, had protested to the newspaper about the cartoon.
