I'll admit the Trump skullcap is sketch but the other elements really aren't. It sounds like the AJC and the Times (and fellow comrades) are splitting hairs so as to read in anti-Semitic themes in what is plainly a cartoon about Netanyahu leading an idiot President. I do not see anything anti-Jewish about depicting Netanyahu or Israel as America's attack-dog. That Nazis and others use such imagery for their own nefarious reasons should not be a reason to read it in to anti-Zionist art, which was the thrust of the concern voiced in HuffPost.
