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.
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 to the thread because they know that it would be ripped to shreds in a second.
So when something happens to these lovely people, the Israelis get to call them innocent civilians. He carries a weapon, wears a uniform, has a side; he’s a combatant, perfectly legitimate target.
I prefer to keep the traditional enlisted with orders distinction to not blur the lines. For similar reasons that smuggling cocaine in a boat does not make you a valid military target.

The real soldiers were there and supporting that guy though.
