The use of antisemitic themes in the media has sparked concern following the publication of a cartoon depicting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu drinking blood in a Jordanian newspaper. The Anti-Defamation League highlighted the troubling report, emphasizing the alarming use of antisemitic themes in the Arab press. Additionally, a cartoon in the Toronto Sun depicting Ukraine's President Zelenskyy with a large nose has raised further concerns about the promotion of antisemitic stereotypes. The cartoonist's defense of using 'big noses' as a commentary on Ukraine taking $100B from the West has been met with criticism, with some expressing worry about the resurgence of casual elite antisemitism.

One of the most prominent antisemitic stereotypes is that Jews are greedy. A second is that of the Jewish nose. We were disturbed to see these tropes promoted in a cartoon in the Toronto Sun, where #Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy, who is Jewish, is depicted with a large nose… https://t.co/nH3oiZAhxI
