I’ll start by saying I’m not Jewish or a expert in Jewish caricature history so grain of salt:
I’d say top left gets a pass. top right is literally the greedy merchant meme and it barely looks like him. even if it did look like him, you should still be careful not to invoke the Nazi depictions.
bottom right would normally have the highest benefit of the doubt, except Slimer has a very distinct large tongue and they couldn’t help but give him a forked tongue.
Bottom left doesn’t look like him at all. So it would get a pass but it feels like they focused so much on his nose that they forgot to make it resemble him. So that’s also suspect but eh, whatever.
Top right and bottom right are def antisemitic imo. they definitely knew what they were doing, and if you think there’s plausible deniability, that was part of the calculation.
bottom left: extremified features are typical of caricatures
bottom right: snake tounge is a descriptor of politicians it means liar it doesn’t mean jewish.
Search up UK political caricatures these are really typical. It’s probably got a lot more to do with oldmate having stereotypical features and being a politician than anything else based on available information.
