\u201cSenior people at [9News, the papers\u2019 parent company]\u00a0have some very serious questions to answer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many notable figures have backed the campaign for the public inquiry, as well as the families of those who died in the attack.<\/p>\n
Alex Ryvchin, the CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, wrote: “The Olympic athletes, the captains of industry, our top jurists, the families of the dead and the majority of ordinary Australians who favour a royal commission into a terrorist slaughter of Jews at a family fair at a beach are all just mindless drones too stupid to realise they\u2019re doing the bidding of the Libs and the Murdoch press.<\/p>\n
“But the enlightened cartoonist alone sees the truth. We were slaughtered because of Israel and any deviation from this belief makes you a stooge of the Zionists.”<\/p>\n
David Ossip, the president of the New South Wales (NSW) Board of Jewish Deputies, said: \u201cParticularly after Bondi, how is the board of 9News allowing their publications to become a platform for the promotion of vile anti-Semitic tropes?\u201d<\/p>\n
Wilcox\u00a0has previously said in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald: \u201cWhile I don\u2019t have the same obligation as a journalist to be \u2018factual\u2019 – to have all the names and figures to hand – my cartoons need to be founded in truth.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might be what I think lies beneath the political spin, or stretching someone\u2019s proposition to its logical extreme to expose an absurdity, but if it doesn\u2019t ring true, it probably fails as a cartoon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since the cartoon was published, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has since announced a royal commission will take place, a move welcomed by Jewish leaders.<\/p>\n
