I don't think someone has to get all up in arms to recognize an opportunity to bash an outfit like the NYT. Sometimes non-leftists need to raise a fuss to show them they can't just have it all their way regardless of how severe it is.
I am a bit more surprised that some of you think the proper course is to ignore it and say nothing. There has been a lot more blatantly antisemitic statements from Democrats lately. Even if the the NYT isn't the right target, at least someone is responding. That said, I do think the cartoon crosses the line a bit.
