Anti-Israel or Anti-Jewish?
This is a black and white cartoon depicting a man kicking another man off the top spot of a podium. The man to the right that is pushing the other man off the podium is Moshe Dayan. He was the Minister of Defense for Israel during the Six Day War. The man to the left being pushed off the podium is Adolf Hitler. Dayan is shown having a swastika on his holster and doing a Nazi salute. He is holding a ball with the Israeli flag. Dayan is depicted with a grin on his face. He is easily identifiable due to his famous eye patch. Hitler is shown in his Nazi uniform with his mustache. He has an angry expression because he is being forced off the top spot.
Dayan represents Israel and their actions during the Six Day War. The cartoon’s point is that Israel is like the new Nazis taking over Hitler for the top spot. Dayan having the swastika holster and doing a Nazi salute are identifiers he and Israel are Nazi-adjacent. The ball he is holding represents an Antisemitic trope of Jews seeking to dominate the world. The caption "Anti-Israel or Anti-Jewish" was added by Newsweek highlight the cartoon’s (and Soviet Union's) Antisemitism.
The publisher for the cartoon is Pravda, which was the newspaper of the Soviet Communist Party. The Soviets did not support Israel due to its alignment with the United States. This cartoon can be described as anti-Israel propaganda from the Soviets. Its presence in Newsweek alongside the caption "Anti-Israel or Anti-Jewish" shows an early example of American conflation of opposition to Israel with Antisemitism.
