Can you link some?

Just go on Reddit or yt or anywhere you see the Winnie meme posted.

this gives me “critiquing Israel is antisemitism” vibes.

When youd "critique Israel" using an octopus or a cartoon character with a large nose, etc. it would be antisemitic 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

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
