An actual real photo of what’s actually really happening in the West Bank is now considered antisemitic

That’s just like. A picture of a guy. It’s not a caricature when that’s just him.

The sub head "The occupation of the West Bank was carried out with the help of soldiers who collaborate with settlers. Gaza was destroyed. Developments unfolded in Lebanon. Borders were violated in Syria. Iran was attacked. Ethnic cleansing and massacres were committed. This is how the Zionist right shapes Greater Israel."

this appears to be a non-staged photo of a real situation. Individuals look like what they look like and that’s not antisemitism However, I would have follow up questions about a political cartoon that chose to portray IDF soldiers all with yarmulkes and payes bc at that point it’s representational

I assume he’s not a great dude based on the context of the picture but still can you imagine having a regular picture taken of you and then everybody accuses the photo of being a racial caricature 💀

fascinated by the downvotes. don’t think “making antisemitic caricatures is antisemitic, but this isn’t that” should be controversial

I guess I’m confused. Are you saying that if the picture was a drawing it would be antisemitic?

I think if you draw a caricature with a lot of Jewish stereotypes to specifically represent the perpetrators of a genocide my first thought would be “hmm this seems antisemitic”. because you’re conjuring an image in your head of what an evil IDF soldier looks like and going “yeah make them look really Jewish”, as opposed to capturing an image of someone who incidentally has stereotypical features

Especially because most people in the IDF *dont* look like that

like to give a parallel. if a journalist is at a crime scene and takes a photo of a perpetrator who happens to be Black, that’s incidental. Just capturing something that happened in real life. If someone draws a cartoon about “criminals” and makes them all Black, that’s pretty clearly racist
