    I see it as a joke on how religious fundamentalists would rather condemn their children to die over their own religious choices (which includes waging religious wars)

      Religion is all these people have left. Can’t condemn them for their last semblance of hope in a hostile environment. Nor can you place sole blame on religion for the conflict. It’s a lot deeper than that

      (They are allowed to eat during Ramadan. that is if Egypt and Israel didn’t withhold international aid, such as flour)

      Religious fundamentalists do not encourage or instruct fasting during an ongoing famine (not even Islamic ones).

      Thinking that they do (and laughing about it) while they starve at the hands of their colonial occupier is honest-to-god nazi-level genocide apologia.

        You’d be hard pressed to find a cartoonist more fond of mocking neo-nazi’s than the one who drew this

        It’s mocking adults who’d prefer to die for their religion for condemning their kids (and their kids) to do the same. If you believe they’re starving their kids directly then this newspaper is too difficult for you

          Of course they’re not suggesting they’re ‘starving their kids directly’, but what they are doing is sidelining the colonial power actually responsible for their starvation and instead holding up an inaccurate and bigoted portrayal of their religious practices as a stand-in for Israel’s culpability.

          To blame Muslims for Israel’s sustained genocidal bombardment of innocent Gazans is a level of depraved racist bigotry I honestly never thought I’d witness in my time. The Nazis blamed the Jews for their own extermination, and that is precisely what you are doing here.

                why disavow communism?

                  That Nazis did blame the Jews for their own extermination, and that is what that person was doing.

                  Nowhere did I say that he was a Nazi.

                  Close, but thanks for following directions.

                    lol

                    ‘I didn’t call him a nazi! I said that he’s being a nazi! completely different.’

                    @nonailsleft@lemm.ee, do you feel as if he called you a nazi?
