    “How dare they create a fictional story that has a few coincidental plot points that mirror Israeli atrocities. It’s an attack against Israel to call out Israeli atrocities as atrocities.”

      The fact people feel targeted by things that only superficially resemble their behavior is really more damning than anything else.

      So you’re admitting you already knew better, and you felt guilt for it, but you did these things anyway?

      I wouldn’t say coincidental, but the narrative of a small underdog (nation) fighting against an overwhelming, controling, ruthless larger enemy isn’t exactly rare in entertainment.

    It’s almost like Israeli doesn’t equal Jewish. What a government of a country doesn’t equal a race of people. Plus those two people were American and Canadian and created Superman before Israel was even created by the British in 1946.

      It would be interesting to see if they had anything to say about the state of Israel & its actions against Palestinians.

      According to OOP, plenty of Jews/Israelis are also “Antisemites”.

        Technically any Israeli that hates Palestinians is an antisemite.

    This doesn’t seem so much like “leopards ate my face” as “fuck that guy in the mirror”

      It’s a dude in the face eating leopards party complaining about nobody stopping the leopards from eating faces.

      This is prime Face Leopard material.

            Selfawarewolf

            Someone who points out their own bigotry, mistakes, or flawed reasoning, often in other people, but fails to realize that they’re in the wrong whatsoever. Sometimes they stumble upon or describe the exact thing they’re doing wrong, nearly transforming into a genuinely self-aware creature… but they’re still in denial.

            Fits for me.

              1.) Seems he is a Selfawarewolf 2.) I was confused about what that meme truly is

              Let us hope he can one day drop the wolf part.

    There is not much antisemitism regarding the Gaza genocide/liebensraum. There is anti-israelism, which is different.

    Also, Israel is profoundly anti-goyim.

    Well, if the shoe fits.

    This is why ethno states are a bad idea. These people are unable to separate their government from their ethnic identity.

    Guess what Zionists. When you equate Judaism, the Jewish ethnicity, and the citizens of Isreal, and the government of Isreal, you sound racist as fuck, and stupid too.

    Edit: To the downvoter, that goes for you too, asshole.

    There’s a load of films created after 1946 that follow similar plots. Are they also criticising Israel?

    This has got to be satire/bait, or they wouldn’t have used the word “attack” to describe what the white army was doing

    @finitebanjo Just saw the movie, and my entire posse thought the dictator guy was 100% Putin coded. Although, yeah, the mockup maps totally looked like north and south Gaza turned about 75 degrees clockwise.

      I guess I’ve never seen Putin speak. I thought the dictator guy acted like Hitler but oddly looked like a mix of Karl Marx and Albert Einstein.
