      I think they're trying to make him look like a mouse/rat 😬

      a lot of global south nations haven't really gotten the memo that when you're Israel bashing, the rat motif is a little too close to antisemitism for comfort

      I mean it's a political cartoon so they exaggerate people's features. Netanyahu does have kinda big ears that stick out.

      At least I hope that's all it is and not something kinda antisemitic although I don't think big ears are an antisemitic thing unless this counts: quark

      Yeah... Was wondering why he looks like Dumbo. Is it an antisemitic thing? is it netanyahu or some specific general, governor, etc

        I know Hasan in a Chapo episode made a jab at a certain dude's ears. And thf, the Israeli rep he was referring to has big ears.

        My immediate thought was not elephant but rat, which given the history of antisemitic tropes is kinda yikes
