Criticism is mounting against The Washington Post after it pulled an anti-Hamas political concern after some staffers expressed 'deep concerns' about the panel.
Conservative criticism is mounting against The Washington Post for pulling an anti-Hamas political cartoon after some staffers expressed 'deep concerns' about the panel. The cartoon by the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Michael Ramirez, who is also published in the Post twice a week, was titled 'Human shields' and depicted a Hamas spokesperson saying, 'How dare Israel attack civilians,' while a frightened-looking woman and four children are bound with rope to his body.
There was both external criticism and internal criticism. I think a number of people inside and outside were offended by the caricature, both of the man and the woman. I’m not sure, however, if the message itself was the problem,' one Washington Post insider told Fox News Digital. The deletion and The Post's subsequent apology angered some conservative political commentators online, who bashed the outlet for refusing to stand by the cartoon.
The Washington Post's opinions editor David Shipley explained why he pulled it. 'As editor of the opinion section, I am responsible for what appears in its pages and on its screens. The section depends on my judgment,' Shipley began. 'A cartoon published by Michael Ramirez on the war in Gaza, a cartoon whose publication I approved, was seen by many readers as racist. This was not my intent.
