Notice that China is the only group represented by an animal. My theory is that the cartoonist spent hours trying to draw Xi but every time their editor refused to publish their extremely racist caricature.

    you know who divided the world? No. not the people with the power to divide the world. not the imperialists. not the settler-colonialists, not the capitalists. no no no. those people never divide the world. the only people capable of dividing the world are the occupied, the colonized, and the proletariat. The powerless are clearly the only people with the power to divide the world, and they are certainly responsible for said division.

    international-community-1international-community-2porky-point the international community told me so!

      They always give the game away with the BBC stuff. Smarter right wingers would be increasingly talking about its credibility even as it gets more and more nakedly right-wing. Instead they complain about allowing it to have non-white hosts and not sounding enough like Fox News (even though it increasingly does).

        Remember that Ben Shapiro BBC interview where he called their arch conservative ghoul a leftist over some minor disagreement? Good times.

          Yes, Andrew Neil. A man who has been on what you could call the proto-Trumpian right of British politics since the 80s. Who had an apartment in Trump tower. Who has been funded by many of thr same US billionaires that Shapiro gets funding from. Who has been the editor and force behind The Spectator, the insane but influential politics magazine that regularly runs articles like the famous 'In defence of the Luftwaffe' one.

          Andrew Neil is basically what Shapiro should aspire to become, taking his ghoulish place in the epicenter of the mainstream, but he never will because he cries and pisses his pants at the suggestion of having to argue with anyone but (now mostly imaginary) college students. Ben Shapiro is not a very bright boy.

    Even their propaganda doesn't work. The only armed person is the IDF soldier, who looks maybe 14 and ready to start shooting. This makes Hamas look like they're protecting people from the violent west.

      they literally drew Hamas protecting a child. Like I know the idea in their head was that it's a "human shield," but IMO it's still bad to kill human shields! I don't think that's a controversial opinion!

      Cap and robe lady looks like Liberty, the personification of France.

      Edit: Just looked it up and the personification's name is Marianne.

    Do you think the person who drew this realized they were having to draw a lot more people on the side of Palestine? Do you think they did any self-reflection on that fact?

    I know the answer is no, but it's very funny to imagine drawing this and having zero thoughts about one's position.

      It's part of their persecution fetish, there's nothing oppressors and their allies/sycophants love more than believing they're "standing tall I'm the face of such advesity," or whatever lies they tell themselves.

      Looks like the Harvard emblem. Probably a reference to the Harvard students who released a student condemning Israel and as a result were doxxed and blacklisted.

    i like how the UN is just sort of casually thrown in there as though it's a building and not a global institution for representing all the nations of the earth.

    the honkey genocide doing nations and their client states VS. everybody else in the region, intellectuals, people with cameras, and... (likely everyone else on the planet)
