Being against the state of Israel does not make one antisemitic. Just like being against the US doesn’t make you anti-christianity. States and religions are not the same thing.
People aren’t down voting you because of groupthink. They are down voting you because of OPs and your bad take. Quit whining. Get better takes.
It’s just disturbing to me to see the side that I see as the good guys (the left) getting increasingly drawn into the trap of violence and discrimination. It’s like no one in politics has the ability to self-reflect these days.

You got disturbed by your own imagination which is something children do.
the downvotes are because the opinion expressed is not only wrong, but monstrous. its like saying “its complicated” about the holocaust or any other of the myriad of crimes committed by the nazis. it is fucking not and muddying the waters by stating otherwise makes you nothing but a genocide apologist.
What’s worse though?! Comic artist giving people big noses or an army indiscriminately killing children and press then sweeping them both under the rug as terrorism?
Hey boss, they do everything in their power to make you think they represent all Jewish people. This is the most inoffensive way to illustrate them I’ve seen in a long ass time.
I think you’re just struggling with the fact they’re the bad guys.
You’ve learned a valuable lesson today. A large fraction of the Lemmy userbase is anti semites who got banned from Reddit for advocating for violence against Israel.
Really? We’ve basically descended to antisemitism now?
I 100% think the use of force in Gaza is genocide and a war crime, but this is a cartoon I’d expect from the Right. We’re better than that.
Looking forward to the downvotes for my ground shattering opinion that racial generalizations never have a place in political commentary.

There’s no nuance here. This cartoon is not antisemitic in the slightest. Criticizing the action of the Israeli army is not racism/xenophobia.
Your comment doesn’t say anything. This is word salad.

Oh yeah, I’m not worried about it at all.

from the river to the sea
Criticizing Israel’s government is not antisemitism.
And the big nose shit is a critic of said government and not antisemitism at its finest in what way exactly?
The other guy also has a big nose. It’s clearly stylistic. You’re reaching to be offended

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s a cartoon. Big noses are extremely common. There’s a specific way that a stereotypical “Jewish nose” looks, and this isn’t it.
Also, everyone has a big nose, not just the IDF soldier.
Is this cartoon doing that.
Yes.
Okay Hasbara.
Israel are not the Jewish people. You’ve been propagandized to. I’m sorry and fuck off.
Yeah, the cartoon really conveys that with its stereotypical depiction of a Jewish person.
There are better ways to represent a country.

The cartoon doesn’t have to. It’s common sense that a nation isn’t the same thing as a religion.

Violence against genocidal ethnostates is justified, why would anyone be banned for saying that?
“Everyone that downvotes me is an anti-semite! REEEEEEEEEEE”
