The question is whether it's okay to condemn "Israelis" as a bloc for the IDF's actions, just like whether it's okay to condemn Palestinians as a bloc for Hamas's actions.

there are certainly innocent israelis, many of which are in israeli prisons for speaking out against the genocidal actions of the state. i don't think it's completely unfair in this case to speak out against israel, though i think it would be more accurate to speak out against zionists and zionism both in and outside of israel, as that more accurately describes people who are in support of a genocidal ethnostate

KA-CHING! THE WORLD’S ATM, THE USA
Cartoon published 01/02/2023

The United States has become the world’s ATM.

Any war or crisis that might break out somewhere on the planet automatically triggers the USA to begin spitting out as much money as necessary to deal with the problem. Other countries need not have an ATM card. America will generously dispense the dough automatically. US taxpayers (AKA ‘chumps’) pay for it all by means of inflation.

The most important state in the United States is Israel. Considering the vast and ongoing fortunes we send them, it may as well be our 51st state. On the other hand, we wouldn’t protect Israel’s borders as fervently as we do if they were part of the union. America also sends money to Palestine in the form of humanitarian aid. It’s a naive thing to do considering how Hamas controls the Palestinians. They won’t even allow their civilians to vacate territory even when Israel warns them and gives them two weeks to leave. The Palestinians do what Hamas tells them to do.

Fight Back Against Censorship with a small Donation! Support Cartoons and Save America

One of our many arch-enemies is supposed to be Iran, but we have sent them billions of dollars, which they have spent arming and training troops to attack Israel. We have sent Ukraine over a 100 billion dollars even though their war is clearly hopeless. (I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that Zelensky sold many of the weapons we sent them to foreign countries and entities such as Hamas). Zelensky must be miffed that he no longer has first access to the USA ATM. That privilege now goes to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Zelensky is now saying he feels ‘betrayed.’

Millions of people from all over the world are pouring into America illegally through our southern border. Traitor Joe is not only doing nothing to stop it, he’s actively encouraging it — and he gleefully provides the invaders with access to the ATM.

Almost every time there has been a conflict in the world, America is Yankee-Doodle on the spot to provide money, arms, and troops. When did we become the world’s policemen? Few dare to even object to this folly. Interventionists (war mongers) sarcastically call us ‘appeasers’ and ‘isolationists.’

Our Founding Fathers warned us against foreign entanglements. They preferred isolationism.

We need to follow their advice.

DESANTIS AND BOOTGATE
Cartoon published 11/01/2023

Ron DeSantis tried to reboot his sinking presidential campaign, but he instead tripped over his own feet when ‘bootgate’ went viral on social media platforms.

Ron’s footwear caught the eye of the public when people started noticing the cowboy boots DeSantis was wearing. It seemed as if he had ‘lifts’ in them as well as four inch toe boxes. DeSantis wanted to give his poll numbers a ‘lift,’ so perhaps he thought wearing giant boots would help him look taller. It’s similar to Pence rolling into Iowa on a motorcycle and wearing leather. They both wanted to project a taller, more macho image, like the sheriff in ‘Walking Tall.’

Never Miss A New Cartoon! Sign Up Today For Our GrrrNEWS cartoon newsletter-It’s Free and Easy!

Most men would like to be taller, but the issue is this: Ron felt so insecure that he had to boost his stature by means of giant boots. We don’t want to be a heel about this matter, but Ron should have realized they were way out of scale. Regardless, DeSantis could stand on a ladder and be 11 foot-tall and still he wouldn’t measure up to Trump. The best campaign strategy for Ron at this point? Drop out of the race and endorse Donald Trump.

Join us in the battle to save our Republic! Make a donation today and keep us on the frontlines fighting for you and your children and the future of America!

Can the DeSantis presidential campaign regain its ‘footing,’ or will Ron continue to trip over his own oversized boots? Will his poll numbers sink until they dive underwater like that submarine in the movie, “Das Boot?”

DeSantis needs to get back to work at what he does best—being the Governor of Florida.

We will ‘kick’ back and see how this square dance plays out!

I'm not the most informed on every story going on around the current conflict. I'm assuming every time a conservative source talks about the Rise Of Antisemitism it's 100% talking about protests against the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and phrases like 'jewish residents need to be careful, they are not safe with all the antisemitism flaring up' is entirely concern trolling while ignoring the message of the protestors right? Is there a reliable source on antisemitism being a suddenly growing problem outside of this deliberately manipulative propaganda?

IMHO there's a lot of confusion between different groups and media about the topic and propaganda surround the topic and also intentional misunderstandings or framing fair protests as antisemitism.

For example, chant "from the river to the sea" can mean several things, depending on whether you subscribe to a one state solution, two state solution, purge of jews solution, purge of arabs solution or anything-goes-as-long-as-people-are-treated-equally solution.

But there is also a real danger of antisemitic attacks increasing when lots of dumb mofos get riled up. But this doesn't mean that you should be worried about Ivy League Jihad, yet.

There are absolutely people attacking jews and harassing people with "kill all jews" rhetoric, and it's a problem. Conservatives just can't tell the difference between that and "maybe don't murder children in Gaza"

I don't know enough about British politics to have any position on the substance and meaning of this cartoon, but I absolutely want to point out how good and clever the design of the delivery box representing Keir Starmer is. The forward flap representing his forward cut hair, the amazon arrow being used for his ear, it's just a solid and well done image.

So many cartoons are just stupid and lovely about art, I want to at least praise the people who are attempting to do something with the medium.

Interesting, the USA appears twice in this cartoon.

(Once on the globe, and once as a begrudging elderly robot money-cummer.)

Tangentially, "treating me/us as an ATM!!" must be a contender for the defining boomer meme. Do they not understand that we use ATMs to access our own money? Maybe they don't, really; maybe boomers have been generally wealthy enough — though not Garrison himself, of course, he's just cooked — that they genuinely perceive ATMs as magic 'beep boop get money' machines. Which of course is just fine for them, since they're wise and responsible, but no good for their children and grandchildren, who are addicted to tech and don't understand how the world works or the value of money and have never worked a day in their lives and feel entitled to everything. Why, they even feel entitled to the money they've been paid! And also, to be paid! The nerve, the cheek, the unfettered nose-ringed rascality!

I mean he's also the most useless possible representative of a party that exists to be full of words that don't really amount to anything. So it's a really good comparison. It might actually be insulting to cardboard to claim that Starmer has that much personality or might ever stand for anything. He exists to give directionless centrist Chat-GPT-rear end speeches about bring reasonable and compromising with a responsible sensible approach.

He's also likely going to be our next Prime Minister entirely by virture of being Not The Other Bastards.
