A new cartoon showing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was behind the 9/11 attacks has heightened the recent tensions between the United States and Israel. Israeli artist Amos Biderman drew the cartoon that shows Netanyahu was the pilot of an airplane that hit the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001. Israel’s newspaper Haaretz published the controversial cartoon on Thursday. The message is that Bibi [Netanyahu] is arrogantly and want only destroying Israels ties with the US and leading us to a disaster on the scale of 9/11, Biderman said in a tweet in Hebrew. It was certainly not my intention to insult or upset anyone, he told Haaretz. I wasnt sufficiently aware of the great sensitivity that 9/11 holds for Americans. The publication of the cartoon came a few days after a senior Obama administration official described Netanyahu as a “chickenshit.” “The thing about Bibi [Netanyahu] is, he’s a chickenshit,” the unnamed official told the Atlantic when asked about the foreign leader who seems to frustrate President Barack Obama the most. presstv.ir/detail/2014/10/31/384238/new-cartoon-fuels-usisrael-tensions/
