UK PoliticsThe media is truly scared of politicians that can't be bought out
Side view for more comparison:
Top right: clearest case IMO. nose clearly bears no resemblance to his actual nose, whereas large hooked noses are the most common physical anti-semitic stereotype.
Top left: huge lips is another classic Nazi stereotype. Big ears arguably also, but he does have pretty big ears. The drooping eyes are a more subtle stereotype, but given that his actual eyes are narrow, not drooping, that's pretty suspicious IMO. Contrast top-right, which caricatures his real eyes.
Bottom left: fucking cursed, but I can't see anything anti-semitic
Bottom right: unhinged, but again not anti-semitic that I can see. There have been some depictions of jews as snakes, hence having forked tongues, but they're not super common that I can see so it's a bit of a stretch.
Other images make the nose appear more hooked
Slimer is not Jewish tho for one thing ectocooler was NOT kosher and also when he was eating books in the library those were vellum manuscripts which as you know can only be eaten by Jewish ghosts under certain very specific
Don't political cartoons commonly do this? Spitting image was a very famous example, albeit it was puppets
Actually, looking at the discourse now, I can see the nose thing, except possibly the third

With teeth like that how could he be anything but British?
Why is teeth shaming okay? Try to stop being a classist asshole.
I didn't really associate the stereotype of bad teeth with lower class British people. AFAIK the stereotype comes from even rich British aristocrats supposedly having bad dental care.
That said, you are right that applying that stereotype to specific people without first checking if they're upper class is more likely to hit lower class people, especially with how culture has shifted since the stereotype was first formed.
So your classism is more about the USA being better than the British then being about rich and poor. 👌
That’s not classism, it’s more nationalism.
We don’t associate this with class, we think even your rich have fucked up teeth.
Teeth like 🏴
bad bot
Bad moron.
I mean...
Because when they talk about "anti-semitism" they are actually talking about anti-ZIONISM. Since they are a vassal state of USrael.
Sionism=zntisem patati patata
Damn this is 100% antisemititic coded.
Honestly, I'm failing to see the antisemitism. They're exaggerating his facial features, which is standard practice in editorial cartoons. Unless I'm missing something?
He's jewish and the feature they're exaggerating is the nose. There are the type of people that have been crying foul over an italian newspaper printing an image of an iof soldier unedited, saying it's antisemitic

Exaggerated noses are a theme
Hasn't an exaggerated nose not always been indicative of a liar? There's even an emoji 🤥
I don't know the story about the Italian newspaper and the IDF soldier, so I can't judge that.
But I do have to be fair and say the nose is one of the many features they exaggerate (and the nose is very often a feature exaggerated in editorial cartoons, whether the person is Jewish or not). They also exaggerate the ears, his smile, and the gap in his teeth.

It’s a well known antisemitic stereotype.
Exaggerated noses are a trope in caricatures regardless of ethnicity. But more importantly, the guy actually does have a bigger than average nose and big ears. What are the caricaturists supposed to do, not exaggerate his features? That's the point of caricatures.
Look at how wide Polanski's nose is between his eyes, where it transitions into the brow. Now look how narrow his nose is between the eyes in the cartoons, and how there is a dent at his brow that just isn't there IRL.
The cartoons aren't exaggerating Polanski's features, they are drawing an antisemitic "Jew nose".
The ears and teeth are probably fair game but his nose is normal and unremarkable. The nose in the first three is 100% hook nosed merchant jewish stereotype. The slimer one doesn't seem nearly as bad as the others.
His nose is quite distinctive. In front-facing photos (e.g. [1] [2]) the tip is the lowest part of his nose with the nostrils being above the tip. It's reasonable to draw this as a hook nose in a caricature.
Where the caricatures, particularly the one in the top right, go wrong is in drawing his nose with a prominent bridge (like this real nose), which he doesn't really seem to have.
I mean compare it with (CW for antisemitic cartoon) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Merchant
Good point, the nose is different
Top right is the clearest example, it gives him a massive hooked nose. His nose is mostly straight. In contrast, every single Nazi poster depicted jews with, you guessed it, massive hooked noses.
They aren't exaggerating. They're modifying to fit the "cunning greedy" antisemitic trope face. Big nose is fine, they made his hooked. Tooth gap is fine, they made him look like he's been holding out on the dentist to chew gold. Long, flat side-pointy grin is fine. They made him look like a nervous Grinch contemplating the suffering of others with glee.
The difference is so stark one wonders if you were saying this in good faith, in contrast to the presented dirtbag devil's advocate (there's no reason regardless to give them a benefit of the doubt nor defend them given what their position and the points they're making, even if the art style were borderline).
They're out in force on this one. Scream antisemitism enough, and no form of satire, humor, criticism or anything else will be allowed if the person is Jewish. At least that is their hope. It's half working, but I think it has peaked. At least that is my hope. Hopefully it starts its reverse trajectory now.
