Seth Frantzman, editor of the Jerusalem Post, tweeted, "Shame on the NYT for that. How long is it difficult, in an era of rising anti-Semitism, not to publish an anti-Semitic cartoon? This is a major newspaper. Dozens of people had to see this before publication. Nobody said anything?

Joyce Karam, head of Washington's national office, tweeted: "This caricature is disgusting and sloppy, especially since it was printed in the United States. Although they have issued a statement, they have retracted it but it is alarming. Many publications peddle anti-Semitism, racism and Islamophobia in the Middle East, but they are not New York Times. Unfortunate."
