Victor Davis Hanson \/\/ National Review<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times International Edition<\/em> recently published an anti-Semitic cartoon of a dachshund with the face of Benjamin Netanyahu. The composite animal was leading a hunched Donald Trump who had on dark sunglasses, as if blind, and a yarmulke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost immediately, everyone pointed out that the theme of doglike Jews pulling along their clueless befuddled blinded \u201cAryan\u201d masters was a favorite in Hitler\u2019s Germany. The theme, style, and imagery of the cartoon might have trumped what was often published in Der St\u00fcrmer,<\/em> the Nazi megaphone of propagandist Julius Streicher. The latter was hanged after the Nuremberg Trials for two decades of fomenting the Jew hatred that helped lead to the Holocaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stranger still, at first the New York Times<\/em> merely explained how the sick cartoon got published in its international edition, but without an apology for its publication. Its subsequent second-try mea culpa was rendered a pathetic joke when, a few days later, the paper published yet another incoherent anti-Semitic cartoon of a Benjamin Netanyahu, this time as some sort of blind Moses with selfie stick in one hand and a stone tablet with the Star of David in the other, as he descends from Mount Sinai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been noted that the Times<\/em> has had a long history of anti-Semitism, dating to before World War II, and, after that, of serial anti-Israel venom. Certainly, if the cartoon had similarly portrayed any other ethnic or religious group (except heterosexual white Christians), the Times<\/em> would immediately have fired anyone remotely involved in running such trash. Was it any surprise that the Times<\/em> recently referenced Jesus as a Palestinian rather than Jewish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
