Gaza-based cartoonist Bahaa Yaseen published this yesterday, the anniversary of the burning of Al Aqsa Mosque by a mentally ill Christian.
A Muslim woman prays "O Allah, protect our al-Aqsa" on a prayer mat with a pile of stones next to it.
A snake dressed as a Jew, with Stars of David on his skin, wearing a black hat, tallit and tefillin, with a flamethrower shofar, hisses at her.
Another snake, holding a Temple menorah and machine gun, is next to him.
Both of them are dreaming of burning down the mosque.
This is the same artist who, in 2015, published a cartoon showing a religious Jewish man raping a Palestinian woman and shooting a baby while a nearby PA soldier does nothing. Palestinians were scandalized - not by the Jew-hatred, but by the depiction of rape.
Usually the Western Israel haters deny any Palestinian antisemitism. When shown things like these, they often retreat back to "Can you blame the Palestinians for hating Jews?"
And from there is only a small step to "Can you blame us for hating Jews?"
