NY Times apologizes for cartoon with 'anti-Semitic tropes'
NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Times has apologized for an anti-Semitic cartoon that appeared in the newspaper's international edition.
It showed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a dachshund wearing a Star of David collar and leading a blind and skullcap-wearing U.S. President Donald Trump.
The Times says the image "included anti-Semitic tropes." The cartoon appeared Thursday in print.
A tweet from the New York Times Opinion account Saturday said the image "was offensive, and it was an error in judgment to publish it."
