What it means

A family tree shows “Me” represented by Russian symbols, a bear, and a flexed bicep, while every parent and ancestor is represented by the Israeli flag. The joke is that the person strongly identifies as Russian despite the displayed family ancestry being entirely Israeli. It can be sent as a reaction to jokes about identity, heritage, nationality, or unexpected ancestry.
