The liberal Washington Post has retracted a cartoon by award winning political cartoonist Michael Ramirez after readers and even WaPo staffers called it racist.<\/p>\n

The cartoon accurately mocks the terrorist group Hamas for hiding behind human shields like women and children.<\/p>\n

The snowflakes have spoken and the WaPo responded.<\/p>\n

The Washington Free Beacon<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

WaPo Took Down Hamas Cartoon Amid Staffers\u2019 \u2018Deep Concerns,\u2019 Internal Memo Indicates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sally Buzbee, the executive editor of the Washington Post, sent an email to staff members on Wednesday night acknowledging their \u201cmany deep concerns and conversations\u201d about a cartoon criticizing Hamas that the newspaper earlier in the day published and then deleted.<\/p>\n

In the email, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, Buzbee wrote:<\/p>\n

Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n

Given the many deep concerns and conversations today in our newsroom, I wanted to ensure everyone saw the notes sent out tonight by The Post\u2019s opinions editor, David Shipley, to Post readers and to his staff in opinions.<\/p>\n

My best, Sally<\/p>\n

Buzbee forwarded an email that Shipley had sent opinions staff in which he said he had personally \u201ctaken down\u201d the cartoon. Shipley included the full text of an editor\u2019s note in which he publicly expressed \u201cregret\u201d that he had \u201cmissed something profound, and divisive\u201d in publishing the image.<\/p>\n

\u201cA cartoon published by Michael Ramirez on the war in Gaza, a cartoon whose publication I approved, was seen by many readers as racist. This was not my intent. I saw the drawing as a caricature of a specific individual, the Hamas spokesperson, who celebrated the attacks on unarmed civilians in Israel,\u201d Shipley wrote.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the supposedly offensive cartoon:<\/p>\n

The cartoon depicted a man labeled \u201cHamas\u201d with a woman and children strapped to him, asking \u201cHow dare Israel attack civilians\u2026\u201d pic.twitter.com\/mOB6wt4DQf<\/a><\/p>\n

I can understand why WaPo had to retract this cartoon.<\/p>\n

It’s accurate. https:\/\/t.co\/VegadNCmvD<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/5W1jKcdbPs<\/a><\/p>\n

Think back to all the offensive anti-Trump political cartoons that have been run by liberal newspapers over the years. No one had a problem with those. But now the left comes to the defense of Hamas. Typical.<\/p>\n
