Bad Times

Bad times for freedom of speech and press, when The New York Times announced that it will stop publishing political cartoons, weeks after the newspaper was criticized for publishing a cartoon that was criticized because it had been blatantly considered anti-Semitic.

The caricature, which sparked controversy around the world, showed the president of the United States, Donald Trump, wearing a hat and led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was depicted as a guide dog with a necklace with a Star of David. If this cartoon had been about some other world leader, perhaps there would have been no such measure.
