    I don’t understand why you act like an authority on the author’s message if you can’t see Israel’s presence in the bombed out landscape, the dead under rubble, and the starving men, women, and children.

    You said yourself, these are Isreal’s crimes against gaza and its people. If you really need labels and caricatures, maybe ben garrison is more your speed.

      Even in the most charitable reading, Israel’s atrocities are only the backdrop to what is objectively about Arab Muslims and Islamic practices specifically

      It isn’t israel slapping the hand of a starving Gazan, it’s a Muslim woman in Islamic dressings.

      You dont have to be the author to see that they’ve left israel out of this drawing

        Sure, only have to be dishonest or ignorant to disconnect the circumstances from their perpetrators.

          disconnect the circumstances from their perpetrators.

          Bud, that is literally what the cartoon is doing, Jesus christ.

          Good job for seeing past the cartoon i guess but you’re hallucinating commentary that isn’t there lmao.

          This is like when Musk thought the ‘machine’ in ‘Rage Against the Machine’ was supposed to be communism lol
