Townhall: Given how radically left-wing so many “prestigious” newsrooms have become, I really shouldn’t keep getting surprised by stories like this — but I still do.
Blaze Media (theblaze.com) "The Washington Post is apologizing for publishing an anti-Hamas cartoon that some readers complained was offensive and racist.
"On Wednesday, the newspaper published a cartoon drawn by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Michael Ramirez depicting a Hamas spokesman with an Arab mother and children literally tied to his body.
"A speech blurb connected to the Hamas official reads, "How dare Israel attack civilians."
"The point is obvious and profoundly true: Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields but blames Israel when civilians are caught in the crossfire of a war that Hamas started. The terrorist group, moreover, physically blocks those civilians from fleeing for safety because, as the cartoon demonstrates, civilian deaths help Hamas in the global court of public opinion.
"The truth be damned, readers of the Washington Post were outraged over the cartoon." . . .
Well...wouldn't seeking out families to kill because they are Jewish be considered, um, racist? TD
Conservative Media Bash Washington Post for Deleting Ramirez’s Hamas Cartoon - The Daily Cartoonist Legal Insurrection: "In February 2017, a month after Donald Trump was sworn into office, the Washington Post proudly announced a change in its online masthead, with it reading “Democracy dies in darkness.”
"These days, democracy is dying in anti-Semitism thanks to the Post‘s cowardly decision to yank a cartoon done by Las Vegas Journal-Review cartoonist Michael Ramirez, which was originally published Monday, because it sparked an outcry among triggered anti-Israel staffers, readers, and other assorted Useful Idiots who claimed it was “racist” and allegedly unfairly put the lion’s share of the blame for civilian deaths in Gaza on Hamas terrorists and not Israel."
The Washington Post made a huge mistake in killing this cartoon "But the apology is the mistake, not the publication.
"In it, artist Michael Ramirez makes a powerful point about what’s really going on in Gaza: Hamas is using the Palestinian people as human shields while blaming Israel for the result.
"Indeed, the terrorists savor every innocent killed as Israel moves to eliminate the terrorist group that slaughtered roughly 1,400 of its civilians, along with mass rapes and the kidnapping of 200-plus hostages it still holds — and is also using as human shields." . . .
"Opinion editor David Shipley says the cartoon “was seen by many readers as racist” — though the drawing is simply, and plainly, a caricature of an actual Hamas spokesman who celebrated the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks across southern Israel."
These young men below must be honored and respected. CodePINK would agree.
