    Uh yeah, so the point of the meme isn’t to make the association of anyone with lizards, it’s to point out the ridiculousness of land claims based on ethnic/religious identity and ancient historical associations. You can’t just preemptively neuter every analogy or metaphor because there’s some conceivable way that somebody could take it wrong.
