Dieter Hanitzsch who was previously defended by the paper (Suddeutsche Zeitung) for drawing a cartoon mocking Erdogan as defense of freedom of Press and Speech instead fires the same guy for drawing a cartoon criticizing Netanyahu's exploitation of Israel's Eurovision win.
TL : DR
Mock Erdogan and Assad = it's ok . Cause Freedom of Speech & of the Press must be defended
Mock Netanyahu = gets fired cause it claiming it is Anti Semitic.

However, this was not the first time Hanitzsch’s work raised eyebrows. The cartoonist previously took aim at Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan – in cartoons published in the same newspaper – but defended his drawings against “Islamophobia” accusers on the basis of freedom of the press and expression

The Israel supporters are calling the cartoon Anti-Semitic and claiming it evokes Nazi imagery, but you can see for yourself there is nothing Nazi or anti-Semitic about the cartoon. It is critical of Netanyahu for using the Eurovision win to score PR points. The cartoon is standard fare for editorial cartoons criticizing leaders who exploit a situation.
Typical go-to tactic of those defending Israeli policies, trot out the Anti-Semitic card to silence and intimidate critics. Lorde was smeared as being anti-Semitic or quasi Anti-Semitic for not playing in Israel. Natalie Portman , who is Israeli and Jewish, was called Anti-Semitic because she refused to accept an award if Netanyahu was present at the ceremony
