The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's funny because it's true. It's also sad for the same reason.

This comic would be a lot better if they didn't depict the zionist/jew as a deformed sewer mutant type guy lol. Feels a little like anti-zionist jews are catching strays from this one

Until the last panel, I didn't even read that character as Jewish. But rather just a hate filled fascist wrapped in the flag of whatever religion is convenient to their current goal. It looks more like trump than a sewer rat.

Worth pointing out that 'they' here is the Jewish artist Eli Valley. A lot of his work is about subverting the language of antisemitism e.g. he'll use typical tropes to depict gentiles, and then e.g. the Jewish figure here has a tiny nose. It's certainly edgy at times, but he's engaging with the terms of his own oppression as a Jew

One of the protesters is also jewish and is drawn normally.

So normally that I can't even tell which one is supposed to be Jewish.

I didn't see that guy as a sewer mutant type guy. Just as a heckler type guy that has a furious facial expression. But that's just my opinion of course. Faces get drawn weird sometimes in comics.

Comic negative about israel

Person shows up saying how he is very concerned looking for nonexistent stereotypes in the comic that could be interpreted as anti-Semitic only by Zionists.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

dude, I fucking hate israel. but I also hate how you can't even attempt to discuss any nuance without being called a zionist.

Gonna X doubt that one.
