      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.

                  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.
