1. Stop complaining. This goes beyond politely written letters.
BH ,   Iowa   (01.29.13)
We know exactly where this road leads. Summon their ambassador. Slap tariffs on their goods. Issue a travel warning to that country. Make a major aliyah push. Do something real.
2. I have a suggestion
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.29.13)
Fire Mr. Gerald Scarfe. That would be an acceptable action
3. The Netanyahu Cartoon
ltrail ,   United States   (01.29.13)
Nothing this blatant would be published without Rupert Murdoch knowing in advance. Once it is published, he comes out an apologizes. Convenient. As if underlings did the whole thing, themselves.
4. U can be sure Mr Murdoch is a good friend of Israel
Alan ,   SA   (01.29.13)
Im positive he is disgusted with that cartoon!
5. #4 Disgusted?
Robert ,   Australia   (01.29.13)
I doubt it considering his past record.
6. Gary Scarfe and the editor need to be fired.
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (01.29.13)
I was going to say heads should roll, but then thought that might be a bad choice of words in this case. These cartoons are way over the top.
7. You are refering to his James Murdoch
DT ,   TA Israel   (01.29.13)
who hates Israel. His father is the opposite. I would not want to be the person responsible for allowing this cartoon in the ST.
8. Cartoon-Gerald Scarfe
professor R. Schindl ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (01.29.13)
Publishing Scarfe Cartoon.We are survivors of the Holocaust.You have hurt us to the very fiber of our lives
9. The UK has long become the epicentre of the UNHOLY TRINITY,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (01.29.13)
a phenomenon that is an amalgamation of: 1. Classic anti-Semits 2. "Progressive" anti-Jewish racists 3. 7th century-based Islamists The three segments of society have nothing in common but the obsessive drive to single out Israel, the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people; to smear everything about it, to demonize it, to de-legitimize it, to seek its very demise and all that is Jewish in it... This cartoon, along with the venom filled articles in the Guardian and the Independent; and, the totally biased reporting by the BBC about our region are just symptoms of this social sickness with which the UK is affected.
10. on the Holocaust memorial day, nevertheless
ghostq   (01.29.13)
damn, talk aboul cold heart no heart, I hate to say this, but there is one quetion nobody asked: did this cartton raised the news paper sales? the answer is more alarming, since the British public got demand to those kinda things, sadly, British don't have democracy to even know what prime minister does, for them is just Yellow submarine.
11. #3
oren ,   tlv   (01.29.13)
first of all... murdoch is the owner of a media conglomorate.. you think he really checks every editorial and picture that goes thru his newspapers and media outlets on a daily basis???? get real......
12. Is this suppose to be an apology?
Rotem ,   Israel   (01.29.13)
His apology is technical and sounds more like an automatic answering machine. The terms "Britain" and "Hypocrasy" always go together.
13. Assad's cartoon is OK with you lot, is it?
Robert ,   Australia   (01.29.13)
14. truth
jhvh ,   some where   (01.29.13)
but the cartoon just shows the truth....
15. To #11 oren
(01.29.13)
Murdock may be aloof about some matters, but likely not such serious matters. You choose to believe what you want; I'll continue to believe what I want. Either way, Murdock should clean house.
16. Not Goor Enough Until Scarfe Fired & Murdock resigns
Dina ,   USA   (02.03.13)
