“The Jewish right doesn't want to be criticized,” said António Moreira Antunes.
The Portuguese artist who drew a cartoon published in The New York Times that caused outrage for depicting anti-Semitic tropes has defended his work.
The controversy sparked protests outside the Times’ building, even as an internal inquiry was underway, amid claims of a culture of anti-Jewish bias at the publication. He said the criticism was"made through the Jewish propaganda machine, which is, anytime there's criticism it's because there's someone anti-Semitic on the other side, and that's not the case.
“Though I’ve been assured there was no malice involved in this mistake, we fell far short of our standards and values in this case,” Sulzberger wrote. "It wouldn't surprise me if this was published out of Tehran or Damascus, but it does not belong in The New York Times or any credible media outlet," he told CNN.
It said that in 1983, he drew a cartoon that depicted Israeli soldiers tormenting Lebanese women and children, reminiscent of a renowned photo of Nazis tormenting Jews during the Holocaust. His work has also been criticized for its depiction of the LGBT community and Catholics.
