The cartoon's message is... enigmatic and open to interpretation. Is any use of Israeli images, or Jewish images, by themselves, anti-semetic, if these images aren't acceptable to certain Israelis or Jewish people? Who is in control in the cartoon? Is it the Trump figure or the dog figure? To use a dubious argument about 'anti-semetic' tropes, in relation to this cartoon seems irrelevant. The cartoon is pointing out the bizarre power relationship between Israel and the US, two powerful states 'leashed' together.
