    I'm Jewish and that card creeps me. I like octopuses. Japanese illustrations with them are cute. But western cartoon octopuses with a focus on their legs reminds me of cartoons showing how evil/corrupt entries manipulate things for their own benefit.

    I like really the Standard Oil octopus cartoon. I never remember cartoons yet I have had a fondness for it ever since I saw it more than 20 years ago.

    But octopuses can represent Jews too.

    A Nazi German cartoon c. 1938 depicts Churchill as a Jewish-controlled octopus encircling the globe.

        From the other comments here this just seems to be a normal thing. The octopus has no relation to old propaganda and is only used because it has 8 legs and can hold all the candles.

            Definitely get the context presented, but it seems to be common enough that whoever made this just linked the 8 legs with the 8 candles and thought it was cute.
