Re:Steve Bell sacked by Guardian in antisemitism row over Ne... by defrost on Monday October 16, 2023 @09:33AM (#37899683)
It's an even more tenuous accusation when you get to:

    In the same year, senior Conservative MP Sajid Javid tweeted that Bell's cartoon - depicting former Home Secretary Priti Patel and ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson as bulls with rings through their noses - was "incredibly offensive".

    Mr Javid said it was "reminiscent of antisemitic cartoons from the last century," adding the Guardian "should know better".
Pratel having been raised Hindu (IIRC) and Johnson having great grandparents all over the spectrum (one jewish great grandmother according to wikipedia).

It all smacks of want to cast shade over The Guardian's cartoons, which is an understandable position but these "reasons" seem pretty thin.
