New York Times Runs Blatantly Anti-Semitic Cartoon
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | April 29, 2019 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 04/29/2019 1:29:33 PM PDT by Kaslin

RUSH: Now, the Poway synagogue shooting. Once again, there has been a shooting by a guy who hates Trump. The shooter here hates Trump and hates conservatives and calls both of them, us and Trump, vile names. Yet the Democrats and the media still trying to blame Trump and conservatives for the shooting! Meanwhile, anti-Semitism has totally taken over the Democrat Party, and do you know how they’re disguising it? They’re using opposition to Israel as their platform for full-fledged, universal anti-Semitism, including and led by the New York Times.

It’s a strange juxtaposition, because America’s left-wing Jewish population is devoted to the Democrat Party, so much so that we’ve never been able to figure it out. We’ve never been able to figure out why so many Jewish people are liberal Democrats, given what liberal Democrats stand for. Well, look, I know what the answer is. I’m not gonna belabor it here. But what are these people doing now? The party that they have devoted themselves to has become immersed in anti-Semitism, led by the New York Times.

A couple of days before the shooting, the international edition of the New York Times ran a despicable cartoon. It featured a blind Donald Trump wearing a yarmulke. Trump is leading Benjamin Netanyahu on a leash. Netanyahu is portrayed as a dog. Trump has him on a leash and he’s wearing a Star of David collar. Just to make sure the point isn’t too subtle. Now, the cartoon could have come right out of any of the rabid anti-Semitic publications from the Nazi Germany days.

We have the cartoon; I’m gonna put it up. For those of you watching on the Dittocam, go ahead and switch it over. This is the cartoon that ran in the international edition of the New York Times. There’s Trump dressed up as an orthodox Jew with the dark glasses and a yarmulke, and that is Netanyahu’s face on the dog, a Star of David collar, and it is Netanyahu leading Trump around… Well, actually, Trump has Israel on the leash, is what this is supposed to mean.

This is blatant anti-Semitism, and the New York Times has received voluminous criticism over this. They have done gigantic mea culpas and they’ve apologized, and they don’t know how it happened and all the usual things that happen with false, phony apologies. “Well, we don’t know how it happened.” Meanwhile, Professor Dershowitz is livid about this and wants there to be an investigation. The New York Times should investigate itself, he says, to figure out just how in the world this could happen.

Look at that cartoon. This is an anti-Semitic cartoon. That’s the worldview of the New York Times, if you’re still looking at the Dittocam, and there’s no mystery to be solved here. The lone culprit isn’t buried under layers of editors. The publishing of this cartoon is symptomatic of a shared prejudice that has infected the left. Look at their heroes today! Ilhan Omar, hates Jews. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (who loves Ilhan Omar). Rashida Tlaib. These people are born anti-Semites.

It’s part of their existence, and they are not being condemned for it. They are being excused by people like Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. And remember Barack Obama sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years. Democrats didn’t care about the anti-Semitism that occurred there.

Professor Dershowitz said the New York Times owes its readers more than an apology. We are entitled to an investigation and explanation. How did the anti-Semitic cartoon get published? Who approved it? What steps are being taken to prevent a recurrence?

And then he tweeted that the anti-Semitic cartoon published by the New York Times is a symptom of a deeper problem on the left. “It is acceptable to many on the left to employ anti-Semitic tropes as long as they are directed against Israel.” Bingo. Anti-Zionism is becoming an acceptable cover for anti-Semitism. Meaning, you can be an anti-Semite, you can be totally opposed to Jews and just couch it as being opposed to Israel and it sends the same message.

In other words, it’s cowardice, rather than just admit you’re anti-Semitic, make it clear you’re anti-Israel and you accomplish the same thing. It took the New York Times until Sunday to apologize for that cartoon. They published it all the way back last Thursday in the international edition. Even then they only apologized on Twitter. They didn’t talk about punishing the people who were behind the cartoon.

And truth is that this kind of smear is not unusual for the New York Times. On Friday they had to apologize for publishing a piece back on Good Friday that claimed Jesus was Palestinian. One thing that’s become apparent in reading the New York Times, and it’s it is not just me observing this, and this goes back again to what journalism is, what we think of journalists. We think they’re educated. We think they have historical perspective. We think that they are curious, that they are informed.

The New York Times has people that do not understand the first thing about Christianity. It’s not that they just are biased and are publishing lies. They literally, in this era, in this evolution of the New York Times, they don’t have anybody who actually understands Christianity. Easter worshipers, for example. Easter worshipers.

And the reason is because there is an anti-Christian bias on the left, and once there is an anti-Christian or anti-conservative bias, you don’t have to learn anything about it. It’s just bad. So Fox News is bad, Rush Limbaugh’s bad, talk radio is bad, just because they say it’s bad, just because we’re conservative.

You don’t have to say any more. You don’t have to know any more. You don’t have to explain anything because everybody on your side already agrees, conservatism bad. Christianity bad. Christianity, part of the American founding, the American founding bad. That’s it! That’s the extent of their knowledge. Which, of course, isn’t knowledge.

NYT has had a strong anti-Semitic (and anti-Christian and anti-American) streak for many years.
Including burying the Nazi mass murders in (as I recall) only four articles during WW2, none headlined.

“All the news that fits our commie-nazi-extreme leftist agenda.”

They know that Jews will still vote for Democrats
no matter how much hate the leftist/Liberal/Dem Party
directs at them.

Let’s not disregard the status of dogs in Islam. I think the dog symbolism speaks to Muslims also.

The cartoon was as much a slam at the President's leadership of the US as it was against the PM's leadership of Israel.

Much like this cartoon targeted both Bush and Blair:

All due respect, el-Rushbo, but no one is BORN anti-Semite. They have to be TAUGHT.

You've got to be taught To hate and fear You've got to be taught From year to Year It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught To be Afraid Of people whose eyes are oddly made And people whose skin Is a different shade You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught Before it's too late Before you are 6 or 7 or 8 To hate all the people your relatives hate You've got to be carefully taught

>>>The Times is a great teacher.

The long-time anti-semitic history of the New York Slimes is interesting because the rag has been in Jewish family ownership since 1896.

The newspaper was founded by German Jewish immigrant, Adolph Ochs.

It's still controlled by Ochs descendants, namely, the Sulzberger family, with Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. being the present head of the stunningly wealthy family and also being chief honcho of the corporation.

Probably a great percentage of NYC-born employees at the Times are also of Jewish heritage.

Go figure.

The West is infected with oikophobia (fear or disgust of one's home or culture).

The left hate Western culture. Non-religious, leftist Jews hate Jewish culture and religion.

It comes from hating what is (existence) because it is not perfect.

“All due respect, el-Rushbo, but no one is BORN anti-Semite. They have to be TAUGHT.”

Perhaps, but when the Jew hatred is a part of your culture as it has been for Muslims for enough generations it literally becomes a part of your DNA.

Being facetious but I get Rushbo’s point. Probably a more accurate designation would be “inherent”

When a newspaper like the New York Times goes out of its way to publish a blatantly anti-Semitic/anti-Trump cartoon, how can anyone take anything else the newspaper writes seriously?

If Ilhan Omar had a newspaper, would anyone take any article she wrote on any topic seriously, knowing her extreme biases against Israel and Donald Trump?

Anyone interested in what’s really going on the world does not read the New York Times. And only those who share the Times’s anti-Semitism continue to buy it so that it can keep publishing its evil.

I should point out that the Jews gunned down in the San Diego Synagogue are not Liberal, vote Republican and probably voted for Pres. Trump.

What it really shows is that there is a commonality of thought between the anti Trump alt righters and the Leftwing, New York Times."

The Israeli politicians, seeing the NYT cartoon and then the shooting are understandably pissed. It is the commonality of thought between the evil shooter and the evil NY Times that bothers me. The NY Times was started by yekkes (German Jews), who were embarrassed over their Jewishness.

The "New York Times" has a history of evil

1. The NY Times opposed a Jewish state from the 1897 meeting of the Zionist meeting in Basil, Switzerland.
2. Of course there is the famous Walter Duranty coverup of the holodomor.
3. The NY Times did a little better in the holocaust, where they buried the atrocities in one and two line blurbs on the inner pages.
4. The "NY Times described the pitched battle of the dir Yassin terorist nest as "a peaceful little village" massacred by the zionist agressors.

This was all in the NY Times loathsome past; however, as bad as that was, prepare for an even more horrific future from the PC fabricators of the old grey lady.

The Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul said that there would be worldwide deception in the last days.

These idiots will be shilling for the antichrist when he shows up.
