Really? We’ve basically descended to antisemitism now?
I 100% think the use of force in Gaza is genocide and a war crime, but this is a cartoon I’d expect from the Right. We’re better than that.
Looking forward to the downvotes for my ground shattering opinion that racial generalizations never have a place in political commentary.
EDIT: I’ve never been happier in my life to be downvoted. Keep them coming. I love how I even said in my initial comment that I do not support Israel and think they’re committing genocide (which is the general Lemmy opinion), but I’m still getting toasted. I would say the same thing about a WWII cartoon that made racial generalizations about Asians, or about the imperialist cartoons of the late 1800s that made generalizations about any number of a group of other people.
Hey boss, they do everything in their power to make you think they represent all Jewish people. This is the most inoffensive way to illustrate them I’ve seen in a long ass time.
I think you’re just struggling with the fact they’re the bad guys.
You’ve learned a valuable lesson today. A large fraction of the Lemmy userbase is anti semites who got banned from Reddit for advocating for violence against Israel.

Criticizing Israel’s government is not antisemitism.
Is this cartoon doing that.
Yes.
Israel are not the Jewish people. You’ve been propagandized to. I’m sorry and fuck off.
Yeah, the cartoon really conveys that with its stereotypical depiction of a Jewish person.
There are better ways to represent a country.

The cartoon doesn’t have to. It’s common sense that a nation isn’t the same thing as a religion.
Okay Hasbara.

“Everyone that downvotes me is an anti-semite! REEEEEEEEEEE”
Violence against genocidal ethnostates is justified, why would anyone be banned for saying that?
