Background
Adam Levick attended DigiTell19 Conference, representing UK Media Watch and spoke on a panel regarding anti-Semitism in the press.
During the panel discussion Levick was asked a question about allegedly anti-Semitic cartoons. Levick mentions a Sunday Times article from ‘2013 or 2014’:
Levick goes onto state: ‘The cartoon got a lot of negative attention and got a lot of criticism because I think it was published on international holocaust memorial day. But at the end of the day, even though I think it was very poorly timed, in the context that it was published, first of all the cartoonist had no prior history of engaging in anti-Semitic cartoons or drawing anti-Semitic cartoons. Secondly, The Times in general is among the more pro-Israel media outlets, by the standards at least in the British media, so that was a case in which I used my experience and our background and just the overall context, in my view I think they got much more negative publicity than they deserved, whereas with the Guardian, you know, I think it’s in their eco-system, you know, I think they’ve accepted institutionally anti-semitic ideas and I think their cartoonist Steve Ballen and Martin Rosen and others, and there’s a cartoonist called First Man On The Moon, which I think they’ve just accepted, you know, as anti-Semitic ideas. So I’m much more critical of media outlets that I think are prone to that kind of , erm those kind of caricatures, than I am the Times or the Telegraph’. [2]
