A shitpost that's political, about Israel, painfully accurate and funny? Damn.

genocide shouldn't be political, the same way murder isn't political

Everything is political. It came free with your fucking existing in a societal context

this post is antisemantic

ol_capt_joe@piefed.ee · 18 pts · 138d

Semiatlantic, you say?

SW42@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 138d (11 replies)

Also somewhat accurate.

jaaake@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 138d (10 replies)

The accuracy is the flag, uniform, and the quote.

Basically everything but the head.

The antisemetic is the payot, yarmulke, and the implication that the person is an idiot from how the face is drawn. The religious aspects of the headwear and hair styling are depictions that are specific to Judaism, not Israel. The way the head is drawn turns the entire image from a valid complaint about genocide and colonizing into a minstrel poster.

You need the recent context from the news. This is clearly referring to a piece ran by an Italian newspaper that photographed a Israeli "settler" or soldier (unclear) in the westbank.

Not the original article but here:

As you can see the hairstyle and yarmulke are spot on and accurate to real world events.

The teeth are exaggerated both to characterize the image, as lets admit that's not a very usual grin, and to emulate Cleetus a Simpsons character.

https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Cletus_Spuckler

That is why the teeth are messed up. The use of Cleetus is intentional to point out how fucking backwards Israeli is in its "settlement" policies.

So yeah in the context of current events this is not a "minstrel poster".

Thank you, that massively helps. Without this context it appears to be a generalization, not one specific individual.

The antisemites must be thrilled that this specific individual is giving them license to dust off their old racist caricatures.

Maybe the knesset shouldn't have built the torment nexus from basically every anti-semitic propaganda piece of the twentieth century?

That's disgusting, I'm gonna go vomit. What the fuck.

That photo was specifically chosen to invoke antisemitic imagery.

arrow74@lemmy.zip · 13 pts · 137d

“The man in the photo mimicked the sound of herding sheep, treating Palestinians like his livestock.”

Per the photographer

Fellas is it anti-semetism to do journalism?

mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 10 pts · 137d

imagine being so ugly that the zionists are malding about how your face is a racist caricature. No one is posting happy merchant as a response to this, you’re just overly sensitive.

mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 11 pts · 137d

A lot of the IOF murderers have a yarmulke, payot and are anti-intellectual reactionary idiots like cleetus from the simpsons, the character the OP is based on.

The religious aspects of the headwear and hair styling are depictions that are specific to Judaism, not Israel[sic].

Sure, but they're very prevalent in Pissrael. You can't have Jewish supremacy without judaism. That's why when people are mocking Pissraeli's they're gonna be incorporating jewish symbols. The OP goes out of their way imo to make sure that the point is made about pissrahellis in particular and not jews in general.

The way the head is drawn turns the entire image from a valid complaint about genocide and colonizing into a minstrel poster.

The cartoon is not drawn referencing jews. It's cletus from the simpsons.

You'd be arrested in Germany for being antiseptic

This is a rather flattering portrait, must be Israeli propaganda

Wow, rude! What did poor Cletus Delroy Spuckler do to you for you to insult him like this?

Wispy2891@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 138d

Inaccurate, they don't ask, just take down, and have the implicit permission of every western country

Not enough slurs, not even raping. Obviously just a weak diaspora imposter-jew.
