dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

It was revoked by the publisher due to accusations of anti-semitism from a Jewish group.

Maybe a simple edit is warranted to replace the star with idf-cool

edit:

based on the comments I made an edit to the cartoon using an IDF thirst trap tiktok image covering the crude caricature that was there in the original

I didn't even search for this thirst trap image directly ('idf demolition gaza tiktok'), but when I read that text it was the one, glad it's still readable after scaling

it's very low effort, sorry!

The depiction of the nose is an antisemitic trope (Nazi propaganda example).

Probably just cut/paste Bibi's face over it. Might have time for that later.

Yeah, the Star of David and the kippah push it over in to anti-semitic caricature. Oh yeah and the nose, I didn't notice the nose.

If you wanted to do this clean you'd get a bunch of jacked gymrats with their government issue M16s slamming beers and cheering or something.

Was considering taking a still from one of those recent demolition videos to replace the side of the cartoon.

Probably yeah change it to the flag and also maybe do a redesign of the dude sitting there

I'm old enough to remember conservatives making a big deal about the "Draw Mohammad" contest, because they wanted to stick it to the those snowflake Muslims.

But drawing a picture of a European Settler was over the line, for some reason.

Curious.
