CNN is under fire for publishing an antisemitic blood libel cartoon that depicted Jews celebrating Passover in a dining room surrounded by cement walls outside of which is a sea of blood leaking into the room through the floor.

The cartoon was part of a CNN article titled “As Israel bans Palestinian flags, one artist protests with his brush.” It centered around a cartoonist who was speaking against National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

The story, written by CNN’s Abeer Salman, included a cartoon by the cartoonist, Tel Aviv-based Michael Rozanov, who uses the name “Mysh,” which depicted the scene making use of antisemitic tropes.

A bubble text in Hebrew in the cartoon says “We are free people as the dining room is protected from most of the sea of blood by cement walls.
