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.
Potato potato
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.
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.
A little? The comic even brings out the Soros bogeyman. Lemme see if I can find the sauce, I suspect it is telling.
Hmmm, concerning, but inconclusive so far.
Even more concerning.
I'm not sure the guy invoking Soros is meant to be taken seriously or sympathetically.
Edit: also the artist is the Jewish artist Eli Valley, apparently.
