Fairfax apologizes for cartoon of man adorned in Jewish symbols

Jewish community groups have welcomed an apology from media company Fairfax over a cartoon about the conflict in Gaza.

The cartoon, published in the Sydney Morning Herald last month, depicted an elderly man adorned in Jewish symbols pointing at the site of a bombing with a remote control.

The Australian Press Council received several complaints about the cartoon, by Glen Le Lievre, and Federal Attorney-General George Brandis described it as "deplorable".

Fairfax apologised in an editorial published today.
