    Nah, 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.

      Israel 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.

          Strange way to evoke Israel’s motivation to starve Gazans by pointing to the religion of the victims.

            True! The absurd misdirect almost makes the joke clever, in an underwhelming kind of way. Bit of a groaner really

              lmao, the thing you’re insisting is the subject of this cartoon is literally not present in it.

                  Go ahead and point to the character in the cartoon that’s meant to represent israel. I’ll wait.

                    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.
