Pretty sure that’s the joke. It’d be real absurd if a cartoon acted otherwise.
minus-squarearchomrade [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·2 months 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-down1·2 months 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-up1arrow-down1·2 months agoStrange way to evoke Israel’s motivation to starve Gazans by pointing to the religion of the victims.
