The NY Times ran a cartoon that was controversial because it incorporated antisemitic tropes. Instead of (1) being editors who should have caught that, or (2) continuing on as before, they have eliminated political cartoons.
Idiots. Thomas Nast was more incisive than their entire editorial department.
Brilliant! The Times is bailing on a bureaucratic mistaken perception. The Portuguese cartoonist in question is not Anti-Semitic. He is anti anyone doing human rights crimes. The so-called Anti-Semitic cartoon shows Trump being led by Netanyahu like a blind person with a clever seeing eye dog. Voltaire would have understood this.

Nast drew the Irish emigrants as monkeys, lots of folks forget that.
