I feel like Shmorky's guide for making an Obama caricature should be there too, but that could just be because I liked it a lot.

Was there a particular cartoon where Kelly got fat and it stuck that way, or was it a gradual process? I just now realized he used to be a lot skinnier.

Doesn't Ted Rall hate all other political cartoonists too, unless they draw something offensive and get poo poo for it, in which case they're martyrs of free speech?

Wait, Jews can't change their names now because we...need their telltale last names to keep track of who is Jewish?

I think it's more how he's ashamed of his heritage because liberals are the REAL antisemites. When in reality it was because of issues with his father.

Has Muir ever given any indication of caring about Christianity except as a "gently caress you" to Muslims?

As far as I can remember, the only times Muir has even given a poo poo about religion is when Obama is supposedly persecuting Christians again, something something Israel, or to give the finger to Muslims. I can't recall any of the main cast actually doing or saying anything that would confirm they themselves are religious.

This is more or less what I thought, yeah. But in fairness, it's not like these sort of people don't exist in real life. Hell, Muir is probably one himself.

I know that it's from a few pages back but I'm just so loving embarassed to even be the same ethnicity as Kirschen. He's complaining about African immigrants to Israel even though a significant percentage of those immigrants are African Jews. It makes it so transparent how Israli racism isn't just about protecting Jews when it's directed at non-white non-Ashkenazi Jews as well.

Doesn't Israel generally not recognize African Jews as Jews? (Which is totally not racist)

I thought I remembered hearing that Law of Return was based on a definition of Jewish which just coincidentally excluded the major African Jewish groups.

You might be thinking of the Falash Mura, which is a sub-subgroup of Beta Israel that converted back to Christianity in the 19th and 20th centuries. They're not Jews on account of literally not being Jewish, and if they want in they have to convert to Orthodox (which as a red-blooded American Reform Jew I wouldn't wish on my worst enemies).

Actually I think I somehow conflated Beta Israel with the Lemba, who might be Jewish but are disqualified by virtue of being patrilineal instead of matrilineal.

If there was any one cartoonist that I could somehow try and show how terrible they were, it would be Kirschen. Like, I want to be able to sit with him in a room, and tell him that he is advocating methods similar to Hitler and the Apartheid. Maybe its because I'm Jewish, but he really pisses me off, and seems to me like a great example of the problems with Israel.

It helps that Antisemitism is an actual thing, and I'm sure growing up in America in the 40s and 50s he experienced it personally, I've just never seen him correctly identify it in a comic. Unlike Asay or Lester it seems like he should at least theoretically understand bigotry.

Yeah, less than a quarter of Hawaii is white, and they're probably even more disproportionately wealthy than in the rest of the country, so it sorta makes sense they'd be a lot more Republican than the rest of the state.

Now I'm kinda wondering how the Hapa vote.

In Canada far fewer people speak Spanish, and I've heard "Viva the ______" a fair bit. Maybe Americans know enough Spanish to say "Viva la revolución" or they just don't say it.

There's no way this map is accurate, I know there are dry counties in Georgia (or at least counties where you can't buy liquor, which would be in yellow)

But the point is, yeah, there are dry counties, most of which I'm sure have people who are terrified of Shariah Law.

uh Dees this is kinda awkward but you forgot to replace one of your 'Jewish's with 'Zionist', you might want to fix that, don't want people getting the impression that you're antisemitic or something.

Also I'm vaguely amused he spends more time bitching about what the States does instead of actual Israeli politics.

This is pretty weird, at least from an American perspective, now that I think about it. It seems like instead of calling anyone left of Likud traitors and terrorist sympathizers, he mostly just doesn't acknowledge their existence and acts like Israelis are 100% united in the cause of eradicating Palestine (unless they're black or Arab, I guess).

Unsurprisingly it'll probably take the Native American community more than a few mean cartoons before the genocide of their people gets old.

I wasn't trying to suggest he get over it or anything, he has good reason to do a "gently caress you, America" comic 365 days a year. This particular one just seems kinda bland.
