Cartoon showing a dump truck labeled ‘Populism’ dumping dirt on a broad road. The dirt has papers in it with the words ‘xenophobia’, misinformation’, ‘climate denial’ and ‘racism’. The road has a sign that reads ‘European elections’ and a second sign that’s an arrow and the words ‘sustainability’ and ‘human rights’. The dump truck is driven by Orban, while in front of it, Wilders, Meloni and Le Pen are holding up a detour sign that points to the right, to a small dirt road.

Cartoon showing a cement truck of the Israel Defense Forces pouring concrete into a hole shaped like Gaza, drowning the people of Gaza in concrete. Meanwhile, on top of the concrete already poured stands a giant bronze statue of Netanyahu. The plinth reads: 'Monument to the complete eradication of Hamas'. Netanyahu himself is unveiling the statue, addressing a crowd. At the back of the crowd, a Hamas terrorist is emerging from a hole in the ground, pushing a bundle of dynamite sticks into the crowd.

Cartoon showing the wall separating Israel from Gaza. On the wall are campaign posters with a big portrait of Netanyahu and the word VOTE above it. A car from the International Criminal Court is parked in front and ICC personnel are busy putting up posters that go over the campaign posters, covering the word 'VOTE' so that it instead reads 'WANTED FOR WAR CRIMES'. Behind the wall we see victims of the destruction in Gaza lying bleeding on the ground.

Cartoon showing a construction crew building a road and bridge. The bridge is made up of (nuclear) missiles, smoking chimney stacks and sewer pipes, interspersed with army tanks and leaking barrels of oil and toxic waste. A sign at the beginning of the bridge under construction reads ‘Building the road to self-extinction. Ready 20234.’ Across the chasm over which the bridge is being built we see the Grim Reaper waiting.
