They don’t give a shit.
Close down the paper, sell all its assets, and give them to the poor that it pretends to love so much.
And what happened to that lone editor?
Nothing, probably - or they would have mentioned it.
Tells you all you need to know about the sanctimonious, lecturing NY Times.
Jeff Bezos will rescue the failing NYT through buying it.
1. The point being depicted is that Trump is being blindly led by Netanyahu. That's a political opinion, and not even remotely close to hateful of any group. It's silly, but at least it has substance and can be discussed among rational folks.
2. The Star of David only serves to identify Nentanyahu, and nothing else. I wouldn't have known it was BiBi otherwise, and 99% of the world wouldn't have either.
3. Bibi's eyebrows are distinctive to him, but nothing else about his appearance is exaggerated in a "racist" manner (hooked nose etc).
4. I don't know of any Israeli breeds of dogs, and neither does 99% of the world. There is no breed that is known for being a seeing-eye-dog breed, either (although Goldens are the best-ever at almost everything!). Choosing a dachshund does not make the cartoon racist or offensive, nor would it have been if it was a Shepard or Malinois or any other Germanic breed. Jewish people do not need to be segregated away from every German connection ever. I'm sure Bibi has been in a Mercedes or BMW before.
If you want to be offended by the mere sight of a Jewish person with a Star of David necklace, then you are likely the problem.
Note: I'm a huge Netanyahu supporter, and love our President for all the great things he has done, including for Israel (especially the embassy and open promises of support), so don't even bother going down that also-stupid road. I have no idea why the NYTimes is apologizing, other than reflex, since they are of the ilk that desperately try to be offended at everything, everywhere. But this cartoon is not racist in my eyes, at all.
Substantively show me where I am wrong. Keep the insults to yourself.
“..Loudly throw poison out and quietly retract it...” - as it was wisely pointed earlier by a FReeper.
If an editor let that pass, they need to be fired.
The NYTs are only committed to making sure their true colors are never seen again.
PHoney baloney. It was chosen to appear in the paper and its appearance blessed by the editor(s). It didn’t get there by “accident.”
A good time for Alinsky rule # 4:Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
Must have had subscription cancellations.
As Harry Reid said after his slander of Mittens Romney helped Obama win, “We won, didn’t we?” The NYT got the message out. They can say it won’t happen again (unless the DNC asks them to) till the cows come home. Meaningless. Frauds.
In these prophetic days, in essence closing out the Church Age Dispensation, as God turns His attention to the people of Israel and the time of Jacobs troubles, He is exposing the enemies of His chosen people.
Psalm 83:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
Matthew Chapter 25 describes the judgement of those nations that oppose Israel. There will be sheep nations and goat nations, and they will be judged accordingly.
God set aside the Jewish people (the Apple of Gods Eye) to do two things, to bring Grace to the Gentiles and to provoke Israel to jealousy. But in no way has God withdrawn His Covenant made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as preterists claim. What God has promised, He will fulfill. (see Romans chapters 9-11)
False doctrine teaches that prophecies concerning Israel has come to pass, and that we are currently living in the Millennial period. And also that the false teachings of Augustinian claim that God has revoked His promises to the Jewish people and has instead given to the church what He previously conveyed to the Jewish people.
This hatred for the Jewish people can also be seen through the teaching of islam, claiming the promise of the Covenant made through the Seed of Abraham was carried through the lineage of ishmael rather then through Isaac.
The reason for the worlds hatred towards Israel is because the world hates God. God will again re-graft Israel back into the Vine. This will come about following the battle of Armageddon, when Jesus returns and Israel receives Her King.
Zechariah 13:5-6 King James Version (KJV)
5 But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
If this was printed on the Front Page of the New York Times - above the fold - then maybe it IS an apology. If it’s printed on any other page it’s garbage.
Had a similar cartoon been depicted on a Conservative website or publication, but rather than Trump leading Bibi on a leash and Bibi depicted as Trumps “dog”, lets exchange Trumps character with that of obama, the character of Bibi with muhommud, and the Star of David withe the crescent and moon. And just for good measure, the dachshund with a pig.
Now, would that have been offensive to those that already hold hatred towards Israel? Just ask Pamela Geller.
ping me when someone is fired
