"Gerald Scarfe must be fired" - so that other political satirists learn that no matter what Netanyahu or Israel does, they must never ever be critisized or caricatured, otherwise the said satirists will also be classed as a raging anti-semite...

Netanyahu doesn't need Gerald Scarfe to humiliate him - he does a great job of humiliating himself.

The “civilians” attacked soldiers enforcing a legal blockade. You are the one who should apologize to Israel. Oops...you don’t believe in facts, do you?
34. The cartoon accurately depicts......
Robert ,   Australia   (02.04.13)
......Israel's illegal building. It's nothing whatsoever to do with "anti-semitism". Labelling any criticism of Israel as "anti-semitism" is a cop-out in the extreme. Besides, it seems Jews relish, even wallow in having the chance to accuse anyone of "anti-semitism".
35. How about a new front page Sunday Times cartoon
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (02.04.13)
showing the editors bending over for Muslims not wearing condoms??? Planned political character assassination is what they meant and what they did. the 'apology' is neither sincere or even acceptable. Britain, one of the most anti semitic nations of earth. No wonder her power is diminished as her Muslim population grows and her own anti semitism grows while her power and treasury are reduced to a trickle.
36. What is wrong?
Ben David Shlomo   (02.04.13)
There is nothing wrong with this cartoon. It is expressing a political viewpoint. Israel is a democracy in name only. Wake up you lot, and stop shrieking!

I am anti Semitic towards right-wing and zionist jews. This is a good thing.
38. Retract the Turkish blockade busting thugs
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (02.04.13)
oh, that's right, you can't. They were hired by Erdogen, and they died due to Erdogen's ineptness. he put them in harms way when he thought he'd force Israel into submission. Jokes on him, no apology, no $$ and how many Syrians is Turkey trying to rescue from Syria's civl war???? The Turks are screwed under this Islamic nut bar.
39. # 14 Harold Not so fast....

Israel's strike proves Israel has the last laugh.....

You have got things around the wrong way. How convenient for you. The soldiers boarded the ship and attacked the civilians. 9 were executed. The rest were forced to kneel on the deck, with their wrists bound with plastic ties behind their back. These were civilian protestors and media from around the world! if they complained, the ties were tightened. They were not allowed to go to the toilet. They were forced to stay outside on deck in the hot sun. These atrocities happened in international waters. This will end up in the ICC no matter how you try to distort the facts. Turkey will get its revenge one day. You can NOT act with impunity forever you know.

Distorting and lying about what happened will not help you. The truth is that Israel defended itself against terrorists. You can NOT lie and act with impunity forever you know.
44. #41 Your imagination is getting the better of you...
solomon ,   bklyn   (02.04.13)
It is rare to see a post as blatantly ridiculous as yours. Most of us deal in facts. Some of deal in the nuances. Some of us lie. And some of us lie to the point of making up ridiculous fairy tales that have no basis in fact. Congratulations! You have managed to join the last stage; fantasies to satisfy your own wishful thinking as you can't stand reality. While nothing of what you say actually happened, what did happen did happen in international waters. Which is the perfectly legal, and preferred way, to sustain a legal blockade.

They crossed the line because 1.no mention was made of the cause, namely the arabs refusal to accept Israel, 2. no mention was made of the displeasure they have shown in starting so many wars, 3. the cartoon would have made sense if it was an arab building a wall with Jewish bodies. Thank G-d this last has not materialized, although it is your dream.

What i wrote came from victim's statements-the truth from those that were there, and suffered, and saw, and felt. The IDF/INF have this on record-videos and still pictures, but they are too scared to release them, because the IDF would be incriminated. It is people like you, Solomon of Brooklyn (guess what, guess what) who call the truth made up, because you think Israel and jews are incapable of doing any wrong.

This isn't just an offense to Binyamin Netanyahu.It is done on a day meant to mark one of the darkest periods in world history,Holocaust Memorial Day.It is offensive to anyone who is Jewish as well as anyone who finds racism of any kind,morally repugnant and unacceptable.It is NOT only about Binyamin Netanyahu.

51. #47 - wrong again
solomon ,   bklyn   (02.05.13)
Jews can do wrong like anyone else. But in this case, they didn't. The statements were from those who said they were civilians; Turkish IHH are civilians only in your dreams. It's all too easy to say someone has something, just because they don't show it. But there are films that have been shown by people who were on the boat...and none of them come close to your ludicrous chatter. I will still deal in reality and leave you to your fantasies: welcome to them. Reality is too strong for you to deal with.
52. Antisemitic cartoon
Mary ,   Elgin USA   (04.11.13)
Disgusting! Good to have apologized but the damage is done! Ignorance and intolerance! What about the lives lost in Israel by Palestinians.
