In its statement, the New York Times acknowledged that the image featured “antisemitic tropes” and “was offensive.
“It was an error of judgment to publish it. It was provided by the New York Times News Service and Syndicate, which has since deleted it.”
The paper then issued a second statement apologising after the outrage continued, saying it was "deeply sorry" for the publication that followed “a faulty process” resulting in “a single editor working without adequate oversight.”
The second statement said: “The matter remains under review, and we are evaluating our internal processes and training... We anticipate significant changes.”
“Such imagery is always dangerous, and at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise worldwide, it is all the more unacceptable,” it said.
