UK newspaper cartoon equating Jenin to Ukraine bitterly criticized by Jewish leaders – Caricature in Independent seeks ‘to deny Israel’s right to defend itself by casting a false equivalence between Ukrainians and armed Palestinian terrorists,’ says Jewish group | Timesofisrael

The British Jewish community reacted with anger to a caricature published by the UK newspaper The Independent which equates Israel’s recent military operation in Jenin with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The illustration by cartoonist Dave Brown, published in the paper Wednesday, shows a Palestinian man collapsed on the ground after having seemingly written “Ukraine” with his bloodied finger over a sign reading “Jenin” as Israeli fighter jets fly over the ruins around him.
