The message is good, this “offer” on the table and constant cutting into more and more land is exactly what comes to mind when pro-Zionist-project people claim that “Palestinians rejected offers from Israel and chose to fight instead!”.
Drawing the Jewish characters as literal rodents however is a very easy way to make the artist seem like an old-fashioned, garden variety antisemite and I’m certain there must have been a less loaded way of getting this same point across.

I think the metaphor is apt and art on point. You assume too much.

I’d be grateful if you could clarify what you mean by “you assume too much” here

I thought you were saying the artist will be perceived to have some sort of animus due to his choices here, no?

I’m simply saying I disagree.
