Got a report on this post about the top left photo calling it a “nazi style jew caricature”. It appears the photo is real/legit. As in, it’s not an AI-generated image, it’s a photo, and it’s not edited to speak of, and it documents a real incident that really happened. Not that that specifically determines whether it’s antisemitic or not. Jews are human, and bigotry against humans is unacceptable. The question here in my mind is “is this image a dehumanizing representation of a Jewish person or does does image tell a story of a soldier heavily-armed settler committing atrocities?” And after the research I’ve done, I feel it leans pretty heavily toward the latter and I don’t think action is warranted in this case.

I would question any reports by someone who would report that image. It’s real, and it was the topic of much discourse when it came out recently. I’d go so far as that this meme humanizes the soldier by not including the victim in the photo.

If you read the article you linked: this isn’t a soldier. The real soldiers were there and supporting that guy though.

Gotta love the familiar backhanded tactic lying directly to mods and admins (hoping they’ll be ignorant dumbasses) about something being anti-semetic; while never bringing the accusation the thread because they know that it would be ripped to shreds in a second.
