The cartoon, which appeared in Thursday’s newspaper, depicted Netanyahu as a guide dog wearing a Star of David collar and leading a blind Trump — who was wearing a kippah, or a Jewish skullcap. In an apology published on Twitter by the Times’s opinion section — which will also appear in print on Monday — the newspaper said the drawing “included anti-Semitic tropes.” “The image was offensive, and it was an error of judgment to publish it,” it added.
