Artist Behind Anti-Semitic NYT Cartoon Claims He’s Victim Of ‘Jewish Propaganda Machine’

The Portuguese artist behind an anti-Semitic cartoon published in The New York Times International Edition on April 25 believes that the controversy around his drawing is the result of “the Jewish propaganda machine.”

António Moreira Antunes, who has been a professional cartoonist for 45 years, told CNN that the outrage around the cartoon is overblown.

“The Jewish right doesn’t want to be criticized, and therefore, when criticized they say ‘We are a persecuted people, we suffered a lot… this is anti-Semitism,’” Antunes said. He also noted that he has the “utmost respect” for Jewish history.

The cartoon in question showed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s face on the body of a dachshund dog, with a Star of David collar, leading President Donald Trump, depicted wearing a skullcap. Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt told CNN that the cartoon promoted “stereotypes that suggest Jewish control.”

I keep forgetting how allegedly powerful we are. You’d think we’d have zero problems with all this power and prestige we carry around as a people.
