From the Jerusalem Post:
"Recognition of Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people is the basis of any future peace accord, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday, responding to critics both domestic and abroad claiming that the controversial “Jewish state” legislation will water down the country's democratic character."

I know it's been said many times before, but Kirschen's racism and total lack of empathy for Arabs is really disgusting. I try to imagine what it would be like if America suddenly drafted legislation designating itself a "Christian State", giving more rights, and "special" rights, to Christians and treating anyone else as a second class citizen. Purging our police forces and armed forces of all non-Christians and for all intents and purposes becoming a theocracy. That would be a nightmare for basically half of all Americans.

But this kind of thing has happened and is continuing to happen in Israel, and Kirschen is just a continual cheerleader through all of it. It shows how ugly people can be when a government has the unilateral ability to oppress others for their benefit. I imagine Kirschen was increasingly overjoyed as every day the Palestinian body count rose during the 50 day war. He's not a monster, he's just another idiot sitting comfortably in a protected class of citizens to which he thinks he's entitled. And that's about all I can say without going into Godwin territory.


About what cartoons should be allowed:

As a person who's been reading this thread for several years, I would prefer that we have no censorship (other than Waifu tits and such) in terms of what can be posted here. As long as it's political in nature, it's fine. If you don't like it, scroll past. If someone continually posts inappropriate cartoons that are barely political, contact Xylo.

Everything. All political cartoons should be allowed in the political cartoons thread. There. Problem solved.

Remember, this is the guy who's asking for funding to put together a set of Israeli Dolchstoß trading cards to identify traitors to the Jewish race. He is most definitely a monster.

I'm wondering if Kirschen is really dense enough to not realize that there's a huge different between The State of Israel (Jewish) and The Jewish State, or if he realizes it and would be totally cool with ISIS if they happened to be massacring Muslims, Christians and Jews cuckoos in the name of the correct Abrahamic religion.

I have a question regarding this. What are Palestinians' legal status anyway? They're not citizens of Israel I guess, and what they are in isn't regarded as its own state, so are they in complete limbo, despite the UN saying that citizenship in at least one state is a basic human right? The first few internet pages had historical information but not current.
They're hosed, pretty much. Only know refugees, don't know if this changes anything on that end though.

I used to complain about amateur, non-syndicated crap like DbD and TWTIJN, but I also take responsibility for digging up Animal Nuze (so glad I quit DKos). I favor no censorship because for every self-published pile of poo poo like that or Pigman, there's a stupid gem like, to go really old on you, Hollywood Dog, or Galatianman, which is strangely endearing.

I'm talking more about all-around gag and art quality, not political beliefs. If I was a publisher, I'd put Bennett right beside Allie because it's good art. I'd put Lester and the lesser McCoy (the one that didn't draw SCOTUS doing 9/11) on toilet paper with Rall because they look like poo poo.

Seconding this, some of the funniest stuff that gets posted out of the blue is when lurkers drop by with some random stuff. If it belongs here all's good, if not oh well I appreciate the effort anyway.

Speaking of if you're a lurker/infrequent poster who's got a local cartoonist or some bizarre political stuff from the dank corners of the net please please please post it! I want to see all of it and laugh lots! Come post and have fun :)

It really is amazing how Ramirez can make cartoons that blow past everyone else in how truly offensive they are.

We've seen hundreds of racist Obamas, Lester's petty rainbow-colored ties, every Republican talking point under the sun, a million Benghazis, and yet the only cartoonist who comes close to Ramirez's level of blatant offensiveness is the newly crazy, off-the-deep-end Kirschen (because holy poo poo if it was anyone else we'd call Kirschen's cartoons the work of a massive anti-semite).
