        Then it’d be a charicature of a Jew? Only Israeli Zionists call everything antisemitic. You’re preaching to the wrong choir.

          No, only Zionist try to associate Antisemitism with anti Zionism. This character is an antisemitic depiction of a “large nosed Semetic person”. Which historically includes Arabs. A character that has existed long before Israel or even Nazi Germany. It is a character used to “otherize” these peoples and depict them as “controlling and manipulating”.

          And this depiction of the large nosed evil looking character “controlling” western leadship has historically been used to depict Arab Muslims and Arab Jews alike. We associate it’s use primarily with Jewish people because of the history of the Holocaust; which is why I was making that point. Most people understand this is racist if it’s a depiction of a Jewish person but ignore it’s racism when used to depict Arabs.

          This comic is essentially using these same stereotypes of “Jews control the world” but applying it to Arab states.

          There is criticism to be made of Trumps corrupt dealings with foreign nations for his own profit. But this comic is not doing that. This comic is depicting the foreign states with the same evil looking “controlling” character and I would criticize it’s racism if it was being used to depict Jews or Arabs alike.

          Many of the same stereotypes used historically against Jews are being used to “otherize” Arabs today. As this is the current “acceptable” racism in the West.

          If you are anti Zionist you should be able to understand this.

              Google: Semitic People

              Semitic people or Semites is a term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, including Akkadians, Arabs, Arameans, Canaanites (Jews, Phoenicians, etc.) and Habesha peoples.

              Google: “Racist Puppet Master Cartoon” and click images. You’ll see a lot of the same type of a large nosed character “controlling” western leadership. Most famously this one.

              You’re the simpleton. You don’t understand history or what words mean. This is just a non Jewish “Semitic” person being drawn in the same racist way that has been done in the past. The same type of otherization and racism is still being used today. Antisemitism against Arabs is just accepted by our society unfortunately.

              Simpleton.

                You’re failing so hard to understand a comic, yet prefer to namecall. Hilarious.

                  You literally started this with name-calling. Ignored everything I said. Then decided to hypocritically say I’m name-calling you when I used sarcasm.

                  Thanks mate. Thanks for not replying to anything I said and then doubling down on your ignorance with a dose of hypocrisy.

                    You’re the one failing to understand things. You don’t get to pretend to have the high ground. Genuinely sad.
