May/2025: Outrage as BBC's Gary Lineker posts pro-Palestine video by "Palestine" lobby, featuring a rat emoji - as critics draw parallels with Goebbels Nazi propaganda and flag it as 'hateful content' on social media.<ref><small>* Mr Pål Christiansen @TheNorskaPaul:
Gary Lineker has posted an Insta video which featured an emoji of a rat in a reel originating with the pro-Palestine group Palestine Lobby.
The cartoon image was seen throughout the video & been shared to twitter but immediately flagged as 'may violate X’s rules against Hateful Conduct' & seems no longer to be up.
Images of rats & other vermin were regularly used as tropes by Nazi Germany to depict Jewish people & seemingly now endorsed by jug-eared antisemitic has-beens. . 😒

We Believe in Israel @WeBelieveIsrael:
Gary Lineker shared a post equating Zionism with a rat — Nazi propaganda rebranded for Instagram.
This isn’t “misjudged.” It’s antisemitic.
And the BBC remains silent.

Outrage as Gary Lineker posts pro-Palestine video featuring a rat emoji - as critics draw parallels with Nazi propaganda and flag it as 'hateful content' on social media.

Gary Lineker has been condemned after sharing an Instagram video which featured an emoji of a rat, with critics accusing him of promoting a familiar anti-Semitic slur.
The Match Of The Day presenter and former England football captain posted a reel originating with the pro-Palestine group Palestine Lobby.
The cartoon image of a rat was seen on screen throughout, above the video in which Canadian-Palestinian lawyer Diana Buttu attacks Israel's war in Gaza.
Lineker has been vocal in his own criticisms of Israel's actions.
But campaigners say sharing this particular video with the rat image goes too far and have also criticised the BBC for whom Lineker will remain until after next year's World Cup while stepping down as Match Of The Day host this month.
Disgusted users on X shared his post to on the social media platform, formerly known as Twitter.
Screenshots of Lineker's shared video were immediately flagged as posts which 'may violate X’s rules against Hateful Conduct'.
Images of rats and other vermin were regularly used as tropes by Nazi Germany to depict Jewish people, as many of Lineker's critics today have pointed out.
