    I think the message is poignant, but the artist did a bit of a “I’ve already drawn you as the Virgin and myself as the Chad” thing that’s hard not to notice.

    keep in mind the scales isn’t even close.

    those Israelis still have healthcare, food, water, electricity…

    they are under attack, not suffering a genocide

      As a response to the genocide of Palestinians and having their land and culture stolen from them for a century. The settler-colonialism of Israel is what begets its own response.

      Isn’t that the point? Gaza attacked Israel and had their hospitals bombed, Israel attacked Iran and now one of their hospitals has been bombed. So when Israel did it to Gaza [they claimed that] it was necessary, but Iran doing the same to Israel is [described by Israel as] a war crime. The Gaza rubble is currently bigger because they’ve been bombed more and for longer. At least that’s how I interpret it.

      Edit to add: [] added to clarify I intended to present Israel’s hypocrisy, not facts or my opinion.

        Palestine lashed out at “Israel” because “Israel” is a settler-colonial genocidal entity that stole land and culture from Palestinians, murdering them systematically for a century. History did not start on October 7th.

            This is utterly disgusting rhetoric, erasing a century of genocide and settler-colonialism. The Palestinians were forced off their lands, slaughtered, had their culture stolen and claimed as “Israeli,” and more. It isn’t a “current” genocide, it was genocidal since the inception of Israel a century ago in the form of an apartheid regime. The violence against settlers is retaliation towards being forced out of their homes, murdered, tortured, dehumanized, and culturally erased.

            This is not a complex issue, Palestine has a moral high ground over the fascist settler-colonial Entity. No question. Further, the Zionists are anti-Yiddish, and collaborated with the Nazis.
