trainwreck,

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

Comic negative about israel

Person shows up saying how he is very concerned looking for nonexistent stereotypes in the comic that could be interpreted as anti-Semitic only by Zionists.

trainwreck,

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.

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

NegativeInf,

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.

CareHare,

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.

One of the protesters is also jewish and is drawn normally.

OneWomanCreamTeam,

So normally that I can’t even tell which one is supposed to be Jewish.

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.

Mrkawfee,

It’s funny because it’s true. It’s also sad for the same reason.
