Imagine being so ugly your own government says publishing a photo of you is antisemitic.
Knowing nothing about who that guy is i wouldn't even say the dude's ugly, just like, average looking and in need of a haircut while sneering
Yeah so like he's an ugly piece of shit as a person but i mean if we're appraising the guy's features i think he'd generally just be considered average looking if he weren't sneering all crazy and didn't have the religious mullet thing going on and had a shave and weren't dressed in the baby killer uniform
Yeah, if he wasn't a truly reprehensible human being, and having that show in every inch of his expression, he'd probably just look like a regular person.
IDF soldier who got famous for sneering at a Palestinian woman in a photo (this same photo) published on the cover of a magazine.
Was he a soldier? I thought he was hilltop youth?
Hmmm idk tbh
yeah paramilitary, not IOF
Easy mistake to make.
Ah i see
that photo comes from him terrorizing a palestinian woman and her kids, thats why people are using the photo
It's very funny how this guy's literal unedited face is considered antisemitic
It's funny how when the photo came out, zionists were like "That's AI! No one could look like that and we don't behave like that!", then when the video came out they were like he's an innocent smol bean defending himself from that Palestinian woman, leave him alone
I’d feel pretty bad if somebody used Clint Howard to represent everyone in my country.
To be fair the guy does look like a living antisemitic trope and I could see someone getting that impression without context.
People with context keep calling it antisemitism, including his own government.
Yeah out of context it looks bad, context makes it even worse, zionists just cannot stop unironically doing the protocols to stoke jew hatred globally.
That is on purpose
To be even more fair, imma go ahead and say the flag kinda flatters him lol.
/uj yes I know this is bait really tho we shouldn't be demonizing people for their looks, only their actions and ideas.
sneering is an action. having an awful haircut is debatably an action
when you're a genocider, I'm not going to hold anything back
think you're missing their point
do you have a full-res of just the flag
(rule 1 violation, lib!)
i am not the lib, you are the lib. here is the full-res image:
Teeth-gum ratio is vastly different. Should be 1:1
cursed
I don't really see how this is antizionist in a meaningful way. I do see how this could be antisemitic.
Posting and sharing stuff like this just make you look bad imho. There are so much more effective ways to make Israel look bad instead.
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”
Why that's an Israeli soldier
It's giving "there is a Israeli ethnicity" (arguably pro Zionist) and "this is what they look like" (arguably anti semitic).
They aren't wrong and censoring the username is against the rules of this community.
Pretty clear similarity to historical antisemitic tropes, even this one from the 1990s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Merchant
The most charitable interpretation of this guy’s face becoming viral is that the sneer is a sort of Kubrick stare, a depiction of the moment a person is debased from all morality and gives in fully to evil. This is the only reading that doesn’t make this phenomenon at least unconsciously antisemitic.
If we’re being honest, the image has likely gone viral because the guy looks almost exactly like an antisemitic illustration. There is little upside to weaponizing it against Zionism. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s an op to lend credence to the claims of the “antisemitic left” opposing Zionism.
How do you feel about this guy?
Never seen that guy before
That is Jacob, who told some Palestinians that if he didn't take their home someone else would.
