What part of internet is this comic writer on? Facebook? YouTube comments?
Pulling the antisemitism card gets you dogpiled on any predominantly liberal site I can think of
It's obviously edited
The comic series is on Webtoons, and also here on Lemmy.

I don’t have a link to the original comic, but yeah, it’s obviously been edited here.
If only Congress agreed. They are trying to make any criticism of Israel into hate speech by claiming that anti-zionism is the same thing as anti-semitism. It's bonkers.
Why? I’ve been told all those things on Lemmy.
This is fucking idiotic
Clearly not on the fediverse, where the left seems to support Palestine no matter what they do.
Way to alter the original comic and make it worse.
Palestine isn't a singular entity and a good number of Palestinians are just kids.
If you think Palestine can be judged this way then I guess the entire US is responsible for Vietnam or the million dead in Iraq.
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
I think I need a “#3 Dad” mug in my life.
I think you mean #11 dad, if it's binary.
What kind of weird opposite shit is this? Liberals? Liberals tend to be criticizing Israel and decrying civilian deaths and criticizing Israel, while conservatives are supporting the (far-right) govt. of Israel.
There are some on the far far left who get their jollies by referring to everyone who isn’t an actual communist as a “liberal.” There’s a whole ecosystem of memes decrying shit that right-wingers are responsible for and blaming it on “liberals.”
My guess is that they’re making a distinction between communism and classical liberalism.
Yes, the people who call themselves leftists or communists (on lemmy for instance) often use 'liberal' to mean Classic Liberal or Neoliberal, which basically means free-market capitalist. That's the definition used in Europe. It's confusing because it is not at all what we mean in the US. Though Democratic Party politicians are definitely mostly capitalist, we use Liberal to refer to being left on social issues in particular, and sometimes also economics.
Marx and Engels are very insistent that liberalism is a tool of the bourgeois.
Although, I think more often than not defining anything short of hardcore central control to achieve some notion of socialism, probably scientific because utopian is naive and fucking libs blah blah, is just used by crypto fascists to give their violent bigoted authoritarian tendencies an aire of legitimacy. Pretty much what the Bolsheviks did to turn the initial revolution into a fascist cesspit.
The distinction is silly anyway. Classical liberals like John Stuart Mill called for communism.
The joke doesn't work and the comic sucks in general. News at 10.
You sure about that?
Yes, I'm quite sure. Democrats in office don't fully represent their constituents and are not all really liberals. I'm speaking based off my experience with what your cartoon references, which is 'liberals online'.
It changed. A few years ago people were scared to talk about Israel. This comic would have applied. But now it's different, something happened and you can talk about Israel all you want now and there will just be a couple people complaining. And those people will speak as vaguely as possible and dodge any questions about what country they're from.
Probably the thing that changed is that they turned Gaza into a concentration camp and are now committing genocide.
