The New York Times has come under fire once again after it ran an op-ed article claiming that Jesus was Palestinian and not Jewish. It comes just days after the paper apologized for publishing an anti-Semitic cartoon of Donald Trump and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in its international print edition. The Times issued the correction a week after the article was published on April 19. The line in question read: 'Jesus, born in Bethlehem, was most likely a Palestinian man'. The New York Times has come under fire once again after it ran an op-ed article claiming that Jesus was Palestinian and not Jewish The Times issued the correction a week after an article that ran on April 19 read: 'Jesus, born in Bethlehem, was most likely a Palestinian man' It was later changed to: 'But Jesus, a Jew born in Bethlehem, presumably had the complexion of a Middle Eastern man'. The sentence appeared in the op-ed 'As a Black Child, I Couldn't Understand Why Jesus Had Blue Eyes'. 'Because of an editing error, an article last Saturday referred incorrectly to Jesus' background,' the Times wrote in its correction. 'While he lived in an area that later came to be known as Palestine, Jesus was a Jew who was born in Bethlehem.' Rabbi Abraham Cooper told the Jewish Journal that the original sentence had been a 'grotesque insult to Jesus'. Boston College lecturer Elliot Hamilton called the op-ed 'historical revisionism at its finest'. 'Jesus existed before the name "Palestine" was even coined by the Romans,' he tweeted. 'The @nytimes is truly the worst.' The sentence appeared in the op-ed 'As a Black Child, I Couldn't Understand Why Jesus Had Blue Eyes' (pictured) Boston College lecturer Elliot Hamilton called the op-ed 'historical revisionism at its finest' The Times apologized for the Trump cartoon on Saturday, acknowledging that it included 'anti-Semitic tropes', was 'offensive', and that 'it was an error of judgement to publish it'. 'Apology not accepted,' the American Jewish Committee tweeted in response to the Times' clarification on Saturday. 'What does this say about your processes or your decision makers? How are you fixing it? Naked antisemitism such as in this image is not 'an error of judgment,' it continued. 'We have to wonder if the @nytimes editors would've published a similar cartoon depicting any other country or people.' The uproar prompted the Times to issue a longer, more detailed apology on Sunday. It comes just days after the paper apologized for publishing an anti-Semitic cartoon of Donald Trump and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in its international print edition The American Jewish Committee released a statement saying it did not accept the Times' explanation on Saturday for printing the anti-Semitic cartoon The Times apologized for the Trump cartoon on Saturday, acknowledging that it included 'anti-Semitic tropes', was 'offensive', and that 'it was an error of judgement to publish it' In response to the continued outrage, the Times issued a lengthy apology on Sunday 'We are deeply sorry for the publication of an anti-Semitic political cartoon last Thursday in the print edition of The New York Times that circulates outside of the United States, and we are committed to making sure nothing like this happens again,' the Times Opinion section tweeted in a statement. 'Such imagery is always dangerous, and at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise worldwide, it's all the more unacceptable.' 'We have investigated how this happened and learned that, because of a faulty process, a single editor working without adequate oversight downloaded the syndicated cartoon and made the decision to include it on the Opinion page.' 'The matter remains under review, and we are evaluating our internal processes and training. We anticipate significant changes.' Donald Trump Jr, the president's eldest son, tweeted: 'Disgusting. I have no words for flagrant anti-Semitism on display here. Imagine this was in something other than a leftist newspaper?' The cartoon in question portrays Trump as a blind man wearing a yarmulke while being led by a dog with Netanyahu's face imposed on the pup's body. A blue Star of David is seen dangling from Netanyahu's 'collar' while Trump holds the leash. The cartoon itself was drawn by political cartoonist António Moreira Antunes of the Lisbon, Portugal-based newspaper Expresso. Donald Trump Jr, the president's eldest son, called the cartoon 'disgusting' in a tweet on Saturday. The cartoon was drawn by political cartoonist Antonio Moreira Antunes of the Lisbon-based newspaper Expresso 'I have no words for flagrant anti-Semitism on display here,' he wrote. 'Imagine this was in something other than a leftist newspaper?' The cartoon was intended as a criticism of the Trump administration's perceived pro-Israel bias. Palestinian leaders have said Trump cannot be an honest broker for peace after he broke with long-standing US policy and recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 2017, moving the American embassy to the city last May. Trump also established a precedent by recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, a strategic plateau that Israel captured from Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War.
