Rupert Murdoch has apologized for a "grotesque, offensive" cartoon of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu published in Britain's Sunday Times.
The cartoon by Gerald
Scarfe depicts Netanyahu atop an incomplete brick wall with screaming
Palestinians and body parts in the mortar. Netanyahu is holding what
appears to be a bloody builder's trowel and the wall's mortar is colored
red. The wording beneath reads: "Israeli Elections, Will Cementing
Peace Continue?"
The cartoon was published on Holocaust Memorial Day on Sunday and prompted complaints that it was anti-Semitic and insensitive.
