re: #134 Obdicut

Then just go ahead and copy and paste what you’ve said or something. Because I don’t see anything you’ve said that isn’t just a paraphrase of “Because it resembles antisemitic cartoons, it is an antisemitic cartoon”.

A Star of David and traditional orthodox garb do not need to be present for something to be considered anti-Semitic. That would be a nice out. Basically allowing the artist to show anything they want, just as long as they don’t show a Star of David or traditional orthodox garb.

Look at the facial features. They don’t look ANYTHING like Benjamin Netanyahu. You might even think they were recycling an old Sharon cartoon.

I am of course surprised that you and others do not see the depiction of a Jewish leader using blood for mortar as reminiscent of the blood libel imagery.

AND BY THE WAY:

Saying that something looks just like something else is a perfectly good argument that it is like that other thing.
