    are killing off Arabs and black people.

    Perhaps you should ask the opinions of Ethiopian Jewish folk before writing that off as inappropriate.

      Oh, okay. Well that definitely makes the whole cartoon not antisemitic because that’s for sure what the cartoonist was talking about. My mistake.

        I’m not saying it’s not antisemitic - there is still a minority of antisemites out there that hates Jewish folks more than they hate Arab people (the reverse seems to be the case for the majority of western antisemitism these days). What I am saying is that Israel is no less anti-black than the US is - and no less white supremacist. The author may be referencing that - or they may not.

          Considering the article says the cartoon comes from the 1960s and the Beta Israel Exodus didn’t begin until 1979, I think we can be absolutely sure that the author is not referencing that and is just a piece of shit antisemite.

            Yeah, I’d say that pretty much settles it.
