The octopus has become a contemporary Hanukkah mascot because they have 8 legs (for the 8 night holiday). I often get little octopus trinkets for Hanukkah presents.
Really? I've never heard of this until now (I'm Jewish) Are you also American?
Yes!
My gut reaction is this is still ford's fault

my all-time favorite of these is "Please Let Your Mother Outfrom Under The Hood"
Ok this one is plain weird
I'm Jewish and that card creeps me. I like octopuses. Japanese illustrations with them are cute. But western cartoon octopuses with a focus on their legs reminds me of cartoons showing how evil/corrupt entries manipulate things for their own benefit.
I like really the Standard Oil octopus cartoon. I never remember cartoons yet I have had a fondness for it ever since I saw it more than 20 years ago.
But octopuses can represent Jews too.

A Nazi German cartoon c. 1938 depicts Churchill as a Jewish-controlled octopus encircling the globe.
Yup agreed. It's weird and sus
From the other comments here this just seems to be a normal thing. The octopus has no relation to old propaganda and is only used because it has 8 legs and can hold all the candles.
Interesting!
Definitely get the context presented, but it seems to be common enough that whoever made this just linked the 8 legs with the 8 candles and thought it was cute.
Agreed. Sus as shit.
Israel might have a modicum of my respect if they focused their hatred of Palestinians on western antisemites, an actual threat to Jews everywhere.
People when they see octopuses (octopii?) : antisemitism
Me when I see octopuses :
