> The cartoon, featuring Netanyahu operating on his own stomach, showed a cut in the outline of the Gaza Strip.
> Moneylender Shylock, from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, is considered to be one of the most notorious Jewish stereotypes in English literature due to his greedy nature.
> In the Bard's famous play, Shylock asks for a pound of Antonio's flesh a loan isn't repaid within three months.
Seems like the right call not to publish it, but not sure I see how the cartoon would have been referring to the “pound of flesh” from that description.
