This at least makes sense. I never encountered it so I'm still not convinced. Can you link some?
Also, this gives me "critiquing Israel is antisemitism" vibes. Might be a false tho. I think it's important to question all power and all states and I would never be offended when someone mocks my head of state (who does not only look like Burns but resembles him in other ways too)
Just go on Reddit or yt or anywhere you see the Winnie meme posted.
When youd "critique Israel" using an octopus or a cartoon character with a large nose, etc. it would be antisemitic tho
Sure and I agree, but using a racist dog whistle is not mocking. Regardless of head of state. And in this specific instance it's mostly western liberals doing so, being also running dogs for the western imperial project
