    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

      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.

      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

      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.

      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.

        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.
