That was the face of a terrorist laughing at a Palestinian girl that was being tormented by the terrorist group. What does painting that face on a flag that represents the terrorist state have to do with any religion?
It works on racial stereotypes not criticising Israeli politics. And it's weird that I need to explain that to a bunch of communists.
It's not weird to put the faces and symbols of those prosecuting a genocide out there. This isn't a caricature.
What stereotype, laughing evilly?
Seems kind of antisemitic of that poster to assume being evil is a Semitic stereotype tbh
To give OP credit, I think the connection theyre making is with the “happy merchant” image of a bearded Jewish man hunched over, cackling and rubbing their hands together menacingly. My comment was that laughing evilly is too general to associate with that image, because the happy merchant is meant to specifically convey scheming underhandedness (an anti-Semitic trope) and the photograph doesn’t frame the soldier as scheming. He’s just generally sadistic.
Greatly enjoying the irony of years of “Zionism is antisemitism” discourse (unrelated but have you ever checked how many synagogues endorse Israel and how many denounce it?), the online left have now come full circle to “being Semitic is antisemitic”
