I'm Satan's lovingly-rendered bulge
There are so many depictions of satan without genitals, but ben needed you to know it's there
I think everything attacking to the left (tanks, planes) is Israel, and everything attacking to the right (missiles) is Hamas.
Wait, why?
Conservatives, especially ultra-conservatives and reactionaries, hate Israel.
Since when do conservatives hate Israel? The ultra-conservatives I know support Israel because they believe it’s a necessary condition to the apocalypse.
Evangelicals support Israel as a matter of theological policy. The less evangelically-captured wing of the Republican party dislikes them because they're Jews.

A lot of these hate Arabs more, tho. They're not exactly pro Israel, but they're so anti Palestine that they'll briefly tone down the Jew hating.
Call it Millenarian Immanentization of the Eschaton, sounds way cooler
the republican party has spent decades unconditionally supporting israel and increasing funding for it at every chance humanly possible. where do you get the idea that conservatives hate israel? it’s like the single thing they’re almost unanimously behind
Many reactionaries hate Israel; your average Republican stalwart is not an average reactionary.
Doesn't really matter when they'd crawl across a mile of broken glass to vote for the person supporting Isreal to upset liberals.
The neocons love Israel as part of the “judeo-christian” war empire they’re trying to create re:Bush era foreign policy but paleocons and libertarians like Garrison used to be hate them for the same reason because they’re anti-interventionist. Anti-semitism and evangelical esketology as a different coin with two sides for the issue
And then there are the reactionaries that are on the "fringes" (but really aren't).
Yea but even more ultra conservatives support Isreal because they think it's neccesary for it to get into an end time war to trigger the rapture.
not true. nazis and ultra-reactionaries love Israel. Evangelical extremists love Israel. "Western civilization" freaks who fetishize the roman empire and "western judeo-christian values" and want a war of civilizations love Israel. Hitler's plan A was a jewish ethnostate he could deport all the jewish diaspora to, he started killing everyone when the logistics and expenses became unrealistic. Ultimately the goal of a zionist and a nazi are in perfect alignment, terrorize all jewish diaspora into self-deporting and congregating into a single Jewish ethnostate.
The rightoid cranks who believe in "ZOG" (Zionist Occupied Government) use Jews as a scapegoat as to why the USA is making a bunch of decisions they consider irrational (such as exporting production to other countries), when they don't/can't realize that it's just capitalism doing capitalist things. However, even these anti-semitic cranks are divided in half, with a lot of them still supporting Israel for genociding muslims/arabs. They fundamentally agree with the conceit of Zionism, that every ethnic group should have its own rigidly enforced supremacist ethnostate. Even if they don't like Jews in particular, they see Israel as a model to emulate.
I don't know, I've met some alone that really seem to believe that "the Jews" control the government and are often Christian fundamentalist freaks.
I can't really imagine a reality where satan isn't packing some serious meat.
The battle is also displayed in a very symmetrical way, instead of the actual asymmetrical reality of bombing dense civilian areas with impunity coming from the Israelis, and a couple stray rockets coming from the Palestinians.

The Dome Of War
Cartoon published 10/14/2023
Israel has a defense system known as the ‘Iron Dome,’ which fires missiles to destroy incoming rockets. About 90 percent effective, it doesn’t deter terrorist groups from firing such rockets. Israel’s dome can’t compete with the ‘Dome of War.’ We’re seeing it in action right now. Here are some things that cannot penetrate that dome:
FREE SPEECH:
Trump recently commented that Hezbollah was ‘very smart.’ Outrage instantly rained down from the corporate media as well as politicians on both sides of the aisle as the media took it out of content. Trump was not trying to compliment the leaders of Hezbollah—he was merely saying something that is true. He also said President Xi was smart. It’s acknowledging reality, but the Dome of War tends to discourage an alignment with reality.
Similarly, many at the US far-left universities are anti-Semitic. They actually praised Hamas and defended Palestine. They were met with similar outrage and many students who dared to voice their support of Palestine were threatened. The powers that be wanted to make sure such students never receive employment once they graduated. This is anti-free speech measure. I’ve said a lot of stupid things in college that I regret, and I know what it feels like to be threatened because I used my free speech. Some on the left told me they’d make sure I got fired. It was disturbing, but I was self-employed. Still, I lost a lot of commercial work due to their reaction to my cartoons. The ability to make a living should not depend on having politically correct opinions.
We must remain free to discuss what’s going on in Israel. It doesn’t mean we support ’the terrorists.’ We should be able to question why Israel failed to detect the massive attack. Apparently Egypt warned them. Our own intelligence operations should have known, but I guess they’re too busy spying on Trump-supporting Americans.

LESSONS OF HISTORY:
Hamas and their Palestinian supporters don’t ever seem to learn their lesson. Their goal is to drive all Jews out of the territory and into the sea. They do not recognize Israel—instead they claim the Jews are ‘occupiers’ who need to be eliminated completely from Palestine. Anyone who knows a bit of history has learned that Jews have always lived there—they’ve certainly been there a lot longer than Islam has existed. The Jews could rightly claim that Israel existed long before anyone heard of Palestine—and if anyone needs to be driven to the sea it’s the Muslims. Israel won’t do that because they are far more civilized than Hamas.
If one could go back in time and warn the Romans not to fall into the trap at Cannae, I doubt they would still go ahead and allow Hannibal’s forces to destroy 50,000 of their men. If someone warned Hamas not to keep making the same mistake of attacking Israel, they would ignore it and keep doing that very same thing—even though it means the death of thousands of Palestinians! Palestinian terrorists are so brainwashed by hate that they can’t learn the lessons of their own history. Herodotus would be wincing.
LOGIC AND REASON:
After the monstrous attack on Israeli civilians—including children, the corporate media did not care much about honest reporting. They cared about beating the war drums as loudly as they could. Mark Levin’s already high voice reached an even higher pitch. He could have exploded a wine glass. Loudmouth Sean Hannity and his tough-talking sidekick and chicken hawk, Lindsey Graham, all demanded more US aid to Israel—both in the form of billions of US tax dollars as well as munitions. Something is not logical with this, though—but similar to suppressing free speech, one is not supposed to apply logic to the situation—only the emotion of anger, which everyone knows can be leveraged to further the goals of the powerful. (Think of 9-11).

America is already sending Israel $3 billion annually and it was actually codified into law. They are a prosperous, industrious, and smart nation, but apparently they need constant help from the US. They should be able to take care of themselves, but the war means we must send them even more. Israel is NOT our 51st state, even though many US politicians hold dual citizenship. (Maybe the US is Israel’s subsidiary.) What beggars logic is the Biden administration has also sent Hamas many millions of dollars in ‘aid.’ Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan meant Hamas got US weapons from the Taliban! Even worse, it is said that Ukraine has sold arms they received from US to Hamas. To make matters still worse, Biden has sent Iran many billions of dollars! Funding both sides of the war is not logical.
Do not dare employ logic and reason, though—you need only to stay mad! What Hamas did was abhorrent. End of story. Don’t look deeper—just do as your told! The war mongers want to leverage what happened and get us into a war against Iran. Israel wants that war too, but they need US help. A nuclear-armed Iran is too much of a threat to them. It can be argued that this may be why the far-right Netanyahu ‘allowed’ the attack by Hamas.

PEACE:
The Dome of War repels the desire for peace. Any Palestinian that proposed peace will most likely be assassinated. Don’t you dare talk about peace! Jihad! There can be no peace with people who have been so thoroughly brainwashed to hate Israel. To be sure, the Palestinians will soon be crying for another ceasefire to buy them time. They will portray themselves as victims. Critics will urge that Israel ‘go easy’ on Palestinian civilians while Hamas terrorists shield themselves by hiding in schools and hospitals. (They would use their own children as human shields if they could). The terrorists possess neither honor nor dignity. Only hate. Peace stands little chance with such people.

NEGOTIATION:
This doesn’t mean Palestine won’t negotiate to buy time. In the year 2000, it looked like Clinton would make a landmark achievement by hammering out a peace deal between Israel and the leader of the Palestinians, Yasser Arafat. I followed the developments and it struck me that Israel was doing its best to settle a deal that favored Palestine. Peace seemed to be at hand. But no, Arafat changed his mind! He wanted ALL the Jews out of the region. I remember hearing him barking, “Jihad, Jihad, Jihad!” Arafat bought time for the terrorists to regroup and attack again.
EMPATHY:
The War Dome prevents empathy and understanding between the combatants. Both sides paint their enemies as inhuman monsters. It happened in the US when nuclear bombs were dropped on innocent men, women, and children in Japan. If there’s one thing that’s especially not allowed within the Dome of War, it’s empathy. Love is not allowed, only war.

THE LAW:
International Humanitarian Law supposedly regulates conduct during armed conflict. The Geneva Convention established these laws and Israel is expected to follow them. Hamas, of course, does not. They are murderers who have no problem attacking Israeli schools or killing Jewish babies. Israel has every right to destroy Hamas, but that means destroying a great many so-called ‘innocent’ Palestinians as well. We are already hearing how Israel’s strikes should be ‘proportional.’ This is music to Palestinian ears. It means that they will be allowed to recover, regroup, and strike Israel again and again.
All of this only underscores our Founding Father’s very sound advice: Avoid foreign entanglements.

OK, so it's "both sides, but actually Israel good and Palestine bad". And the free speech part is worse than I assumed: pro-Palestine college students are anti-Semites, but anti-Semitism should be allowed as free speech
On a related note, it's so infuriating that most parts of the US would cry about "my frozen peaches" if you proposed to outlaw support for white supremacy/Nazism, and yet many of those states (including Texas and Florida) have anti-BDS laws. Apparently refusing to buy stuff from an apartheid state is more harmful to Jewish people than having elected officials regularly use racist and anti-Semitic dogwhistles.
The Jews could rightly claim that Israel existed long before anyone heard of Palestine—and if anyone needs to be driven to the sea it’s the Muslims. Israel won’t do that because they are far more civilized than Hamas.

He's such a dipshit. Really a perfect example of what happens when you have purely vibes-based analysis. The incomprehensible ramblings of a guy who has probably seen every Marvel movie and read three books in his life, two of which were on World War 2. All the information he has ever learned about this conflict has been through discussions on a messageboard with the most divorced men in human history with usernames like LandoftheFree1956 and DeplorableRepublican, and what he learns on TV news. If you asked him what the Nakba was, he would think you had said "snackbar" weirdly.
Any Palestinian that proposed peace will most likely be assassinated.
Yitzhak Rabin negotiated with Yasser Arafat. Far right Israeli were chanting for him to be assassinated. Netanyahu was one of them. He was assassinated in 1995, about a month after signing the Oslo II Accord, part of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

A small part of me hopes he thinks the Iron dome is a literal dome.
That 9mm ballpoint liberal "orwell-style anarchist" guy had a basically identical sentiment when the palestinian resistance attack happened.
That's who that clown is.
Look at this shit:
Show
Imagine thinking that the election season is swarming with tankies who are demanding attention rather than it swarming with libs and radlibs alike who all have a towering sense of entitlement to your vote and who'll accuse you of supporting fascism by not voting for Biden or, my favourite, they'll tell you straight-faced how not voting for Trump is directly equivalent to a vote for Trump.
Isn't the entire point of voter appeal trying to get people to want to vote for you and not just sucking off the people who will already vote for you?
Shhhh, no! That's not how it works 😤
You see, the person who is an avid NPR listener who wears a pussyhat would definitely be undecided about whether or not they're going to vote blue. And the communists who abstain from voting (blue) aren't doing that based on a principled position or a rejection of the state, they're just doing it because they are like little children who demand attention because when they don't vote blue they get so much positive attention from the blue-ballers and they absolutely don't get harassed, ridiculed, blamed, and sneered at.
This all makes perfect sense, you damn tankie!!
Yes but the latter works out swimmingly for republicans and democrats see that and just assume that's a universal truth and fail to understand that only works for republicans because of the electoral college and hardcore gerrymandering that the democrats mostly just let happen.
I once had some lib tell me that I needed to vote for Biden despite living in a Dem stronghold state. Their reasoning? Trump might rig the election and it might be harder for him to do that if I vooooooted with all my might.
Holy shit, the brainworms are real.
Did that dork really believe in the power of The Vote™ so devoutly that they believed you could vote away election fraud? Lmao
It was really something to behold. If the vote was going to be rigged anyways I may as well follow my conscience?
