No, only Zionist try to associate Antisemitism with anti Zionism. This character is an antisemitic depiction of a “large nosed Semetic person”. Which historically includes Arabs. A character that has existed long before Israel or even Nazi Germany. It is a character used to “otherize” these peoples and depict them as “controlling and manipulating”.
And this depiction of the large nosed evil looking character “controlling” western leadship has historically been used to depict Arab Muslims and Arab Jews alike. We associate it’s use primarily with Jewish people because of the history of the Holocaust; which is why I was making that point. Most people understand this is racist if it’s a depiction of a Jewish person but ignore it’s racism when used to depict Arabs.
This comic is essentially using these same stereotypes of “Jews control the world” but applying it to Arab states.
There is criticism to be made of Trumps corrupt dealings with foreign nations for his own profit. But this comic is not doing that. This comic is depicting the foreign states with the same evil looking “controlling” character and I would criticize it’s racism if it was being used to depict Jews or Arabs alike.
Many of the same stereotypes used historically against Jews are being used to “otherize” Arabs today. As this is the current “acceptable” racism in the West.
If you are anti Zionist you should be able to understand this.
Why didn’t they do the same with Trump and made him like a racist stereotype of a white person? Why is the Arab holding Trump not more like the Emir of Qatar who is the intended target and instead purposefully ambiguous and anonymous? The red shemagh isn’t even something commonly worn in Qatar and it is more common in Saudi Arabia. The intention is anti-Arab racism but you are either accepting of it or insensitive to it, proving the point that it is normalized.
I can’t tell which is more racist
Point to the racism in the graphic?
Pretend this was a depiction of a Jew
Then it’d be a charicature of a Jew? Only Israeli Zionists call everything antisemitic. You’re preaching to the wrong choir.

Anti-Arab racism is so normalized that you got downvoted for pointing it out
It’s a charicature. If your charicature bares no stereotypes, it’s not a charicature… Learn how art works before you label everything racist…

They did, he is clearly identifiable as Trump.
…Oh, you didn’t say “a stereotype of a racist white person”
The first one for sure.
