Haaretz Cartoon Of Terrorist Netanyahu Striking The United States Sparks Outrage

View image on Twitter"Is Israel The World's Worst Terror State? An Israeli General's Son Thinks So"

In the wake of a report that an Obama administration official used a barnyard epithet defying Hebrew translation to refer to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz published a cartoon onthe strained relations between Washington and Jerusalem that compared the Israeli leader to the hijackers who attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.

As the image circulated online, readers across the political spectrum in Israel and the United States expressed outrage at the depiction of a smiling Mr. Netanyahu piloting a plane at the World Trade Center.
