minus-squarebigboig@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·23 days ago I don’t think it should need to be said, but even orthodox Muslims recognize exceptions to fasting during ramadan for starvation and bodily injury. Pretty sure that’s the joke. It’d be real absurd if a cartoon acted otherwise.
minus-squarearchomrade [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·23 days agoThe joke only works if the reader holds the Islamophobic view that Palestinians were starving because their faith forbids them from eating, and not because Israel was starving them by blockading humanitarian aid.
minus-squarebigboig@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·23 days agoNah, that’s the commentary. If “starving because of religion” is a silly fabrication, what’s the reality? Israel was starving them by blockading humanitarian aid.
minus-squarearchomrade [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·23 days agoIsrael wants them dead or gone so they can have their land. Religion is what they use justify their lack of humanity, but its simple greed and depravity that motivates them to abandon it.

minus-squarearchomrade [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·21 days agoStrange way to evoke Israel’s motivation to starve Gazans by pointing to the religion of the victims.
