If I draw a caricature (it is so called because it" loads "the treatisomatics) it is obvious that because the subject is similar to" loaded " traits: Zelensky has an important nose not because he is Jewish but because it is his nose ", thus the designer Vaurorepllies to those who have criticized his cartoon that portrays Zelensky" with a hooked nose ", in fact accusing her of anti-Semitism.
"I never thought that Jews necessarily have hooked noses, also because I know very many who have various types of noses, I would not even want to reply to all those cretins who comment on Zelensky's nose. I do it only because if it is not pure imbecility it is bad faith" , concludes Vauro.
