Whatever someone’s politics are, these caricatures are gross and way over the line. Criticism doesn’t need to lean on antisemitic imagery.
OP is SO STUPID! NONE of these Cartoons showed someone PROTECTING Children from Bombs or PUSHING away Dogs that are RAPING Children! THOSE would be Anti Semetic!

The one on the top left doesn't even look like him.
I have no idea who this is so I looked him up, none of them look like him. He’s a totally normal looking guy? I’m American so I think he could use braces but I’m culturally obsessed with teeth, other than that he looks like any other white guy I’d see on the street… I always feel like going out of your way to focus on someone’s looks just makes you look weak, like if all you have is what the person looks like you’re really not saying anything of value
No it's check notes anyone who critiques a nation on genocide. At which point we will lump all members of their prominent religion into the same bucket because that's equality.
Who is the "we" in there?
What the actual fuck. Nevermind the antisemitism for a second, why are they even bashing politicians based on appearance in the first place? British media is unhinged.
Meanwhile Orange Man:
That guy is hideous through and through
So it's ok to mock someone based on appearance as long as they're not jew
Just always been like that, spitting image was an institution.
It's a standard thing they do to anybody vaguely left wing.
If your election promise isn't to go visit all the billionaire media owners and personally suck them off, you're not going anywhere in the UK.
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.
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
