Unlike this post where it’s just a menorah, that post isn’t antisemitic. IDF Soldiers have the Star of David on their helmets to represent the Israeli flag. Israel puts it on all their military equipment. When a Palestinian child sees an Israeli aircraft bomb their family, or a tank destroy their home, or an IDF soldier snipe them; they see that Star of David.
Israel is the one using the Star of David to represent Israel. Which is antisemitic because Israel does not represent all Jewish people, despite the lengths Israel goes to claim such.
Do the IDF not use the Israeli flag vs the Star of David on their uniforms?
To me that’s where I felt the line was crossed; using a generic Star of David (representing Jews generally) vs the Israeli flag (Representing Israel)
I have done a bit of image searching now and none of the IDF seem to have the Star of David displayed prominently; this was the first image I came across where one was noticeable at all.
I looked up the artist and he doesn’t come off as antisemitic so willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that it wasn’t intentional
And yet people are eating it up and making excuses for the antisemitic imagery.
I thought lemmy.world was supposed to be tightly moderated.

I agree that the artist should’ve added the two horizontal top and bottom lines, just to make it as clear as possible.
