💨 Abstract

Former England footballer Gary Lineker apologized for reposting a video about Zionism that used an antisemitic rat trope, initially dismissing the significance of the symbol. The incident, which caused widespread offense, highlighted Lineker's lack of awareness about antisemitic tropes. Critics, including British Jewish individuals and groups, called for him to educate himself and commit to preventing such incidents in the future.
