I'm so happy this is basically the only comment. OP has failed us and deserves to have his internet revoked for at least 3 days.
Literally unplayable
2/10 elbows too pointy
Tbh, this is the only thing that is true, even if israel and hamas magically stop or are forced to, those children are gonna have some serious PTSD for the rest of their lives
Except we're not exactly seeing a bunch of people rushing to hold back Israel, I guess.
Was about to say that the bottom panel is missing a "Nobody" label over the waiters
The US should be handing Israel a gun
I don’t get the downvotes, are we (US) not arming Israel?
I would guess a combination of two things:
-
People who want to defend Israel.
-
People who don't want to give Israel guns, misreading the comment as implying we should be.
i.e confusion from both sides that causes downvotes.
Just a guess, though.
Israel is a terrorist state.
Its definitely an apartheid state. Unlike South Africa the ruling ethnicity is the majority. They've been at war with the minority since it's inception since that meant physically displacing people who didn't want to leave. I don't believe peace was ever an option Israel honestly considered.

The only good guys in this conflict are the innocent uninvolved citizens on all sides. Aside from that, everyone involved, including those on the ground on the conflict, those in the situation rooms, and those both funding and manipulating the situation from outside are all the bad guys.
Anyone who tries to paint this as a simple moral conclusion, and not as one part in one of the most complicated and difficult geopolitical situations on the entire planet, is either an idiot or part of a propaganda campaign, knowingly or not. These trite oversimplifications are insultingly reductive to the situation, do nothing to help any of the actual potential victims, and only serve to foster both misinformed reductive thinking and harmful attitudes towards groups without the full context to reconcile these impressions.
There is an information war being waged by many forces on all sides of this conflict right now; be wary of anyone who encourages reductive thinking on complex issues when lives are on the line.
Hey.
You're 100% right, and your view aligns very closely with mine. It's also very well worded; nicely done.
I'm extremely frustrated with the loss of innocent lives. I realize my meme is oversimplifying, but that is inherit to the format of memes themselves. In this case my meme serves to vent my frustrations with an appalling situation and to serve as a jumping off point for deeper conversations.
No matter the frothing at the mouth, anyone not directly involved in the decision making process of this 'war' is essentially powerless. We can pressure our governments to not fund a given side, but that's about the extent of it.
It's pretty fucking shitty.
"I...HAVE... THE...RIGHT...TO...DEFEND...MYSELF"
I keep asking what these peckerwoods think would happen if the people THEY oppress started using the Zionist Defensive Feint("right to self defense/right to existence") to justify dropping chalk outlines of our settlers. I never get a satisfactory answer-- it's almost like the liberal barbarian's brain breaks when trying to parse any application of violence from those they oppress.
