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.
