The emotions this material evokes
Emotional intent
The caricature deliberately evokes fear and aversion towards the depicted minority and suggests their expulsion as part of the future. Visually, it achieves this through a crowd controlled by a uniformed authority, a sign reading 'to Palestine', and the inscription 'The Future', thereby dehumanizing and normalizing social exclusion. The depiction creates an impression of an inevitable development and presents measures against the minority as a desirable or obvious step.
Plutchik emotion spectrum
Intensity 0–100 for each of the 8 basic emotions. What the author wants to evoke in you — not necessarily what you feel.
