From Daily Mail:

Politico has deleted an apparently anti-Semitic cartoon depicting President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu covered in blood after a wave of criticism from readers.

The sketch, drawn by cartoonist Sean Delonas, featured the world leaders wearing bloody Jewish prayer shawls and yarmulkes while sitting in a rowboat which appeared about to tumble down a waterfall.

They are accompanied by Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, who was depicted holding a bottle of blood.


Netanyahu is depicted with an exaggerated nose, dining at a blood-covered table surrounded by money. Trump, depicted as obese and wearing orange face makeup, plays a lute-like instrument. The word Amalek, referencing the arch-enemy of ancient Israel, is written in the cartoon’s background.
