The New York Times has stooped to a new low, identifying Democrats who support or oppose President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran according to whether they are Jewish or not Jewish.
The liberal rag, which would have no doubt blasted any other publication that ran such a chart as anti-Semitic, published the chart Thursday in which it marked the Jewish lawmakers in yellow highlighter — a virtual “Star of David.”
“Though more Jewish members of Congress support the deal than oppose it, the Democrats against the deal are more likely to be Jewish or represent Jewish constituencies,” the article read.
The Times did bow to a public outcry on social media later in the day, removing the Jewish column from the online version of the article.
The article’s author, Jonathan Weisman, who said he is Jewish, took responsibility for the graphic but said he does not apologize.
Twitter users let him and the Times have it.

@jonathanweisman @Yair_Rosenberg @MtthwRose If there’s no need for an apology, then why’d you change it? And change it w/out notation? — Joel Engel (@joelengel) September 10, 2015
@jonathanweisman that fact makes it even more reprehensible @yair_rosenberg @mtthwrose

@jonathanweisman @Yair_Rosenberg @MtthwRose OK, let’s go home now, nothing to see; after all, he’s Jewish! Mr. Weisman, keep digging.

Maybe @nytimes will also start identifying their own Jewish writers? Put a little Star of David next to their articles? — Katrina Gulliver (@katrinagulliver) September 10, 2015
@jonathanweisman @Yair_Rosenberg @MtthwRose THEN WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT????……You’re a fake phony ultra-liberal fraud! — Dave Koffer (@davekoffer) September 11, 2015
@nytimes When is the NYT going to pass out the Star of David patches?
— OpedAnderson (@opedanderson) September 10, 2015
Jonathan thinks that an emblem – say, oh, a Star of David – might be useful to identify Jews. @jonathanweisman @Yair_Rosenberg @MtthwRose — Hank Rearden (@wdmichael3) September 11, 2015
@nytimes Why didn’t you just mark them with the Star of David? — NewEnglandDevil (@NewEnglandDevil) September 10, 2015
Handy of the New York Times to mark the Jews in yellow. All that’s missing is a Star of David patch. http://t.co/x10KdlUZft — Neil Stevens (@presjpolk) September 10, 2015
Hey @nytimes why not go all the way and put a yellow star of david next to their names? https://t.co/yQNpeFvvhf
