Depicting Israelis and Jews as animals is one of the Palestinian Authority (PA)’s practices in its cartoons. The depiction of Israel as a crocodile has appeared a few times recently in the official PA daily. In the below cartoon Israel — the crocodile with an Israeli flag on its snout – is opening its jaws to reveal rows of houses with red roofs, characteristic of Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria.

Last month, the PA daily printed this cartoon below, also showing Israel as a crocodile, this time with fangs protruding from its mouth with Stars of David on them, and houses with red roofs on its head and back.
