The whole situation sickens me

I thought it was "he's already dead"?
- I'm so happy this is basically the only comment. OP has failed us and deserves to have his internet revoked for at least 3 days.
- Literally unplayable
  
  2/10 elbows too pointy
- Tbh, this is the only thing that is true, even if israel and hamas magically stop or are forced to, those children are gonna have some serious PTSD for the rest of their lives

Except we're not exactly seeing a bunch of people rushing to hold back Israel, I guess.
- Was about to say that the bottom panel is missing a "Nobody" label over the waiters
  
  The US should be handing Israel a gun

Israel is a terrorist state.
- Its definitely an apartheid state. Unlike South Africa the ruling ethnicity is the majority. They've been at war with the minority since it's inception since that meant physically displacing people who didn't want to leave. I don't believe peace was ever an option Israel honestly considered.
- I'd expect them to take actions that won't make sure there will be easier to radicalize people against them.
  Their actions are the biggest advertisement for enlisting terrorists that will fight them 10 years from now.
  
  Israel lost 0.014% of its population to the Hamas attack. Gaza has lost about 0.52% of its population to Israel's rampage and that over 40% of those deaths are children. How is that comparable at all?
  
  Hmmm...
  So in other words if this killing helps rooting out Hamas then it is all justified. Because obviously the next generation of Palestinians will be thankful that their siblings, parents, grandparents where rooted out of their homes or slaughtered in the name of anti-terrorism action as collateral damage. Surely nobody growing up without prospects and has to deal with such hardships will wabt any revenge or justice for their sufferings. Surely this will not radicalize the middle east any further. In fact they should be grateful that they are honored to die in the name of Israëls justice.
  If it wasn't clear this is obviously sarcastic..
  
  Read up on operation cast lead. That is what human shields looks like, and it wasn't the Palestinians that did it.

  What do I expect them to do? Not 'mow the grass' every couple of years. Not use soldiers to protect murderers as the 'settlers', sorry, thieves go in and steal more of west bank. Somewhere that has no hamas, by the by.
  What do I expect them to do? Not commit genocide. That's what I expect.
  I also expect them not to be a white supremacist apartheid ethno state, but I know that one isn't possible, just as I know that it isn't possible to not expect them to be terrorists or commit the Nakba, or to socialize with the Irgun.
  Fuck off you genocide excuser.

- Hey.
  You're 100% right, and your view aligns very closely with mine. It's also very well worded; nicely done.
  I'm extremely frustrated with the loss of innocent lives. I realize my meme is oversimplifying, but that is inherit to the format of memes themselves. In this case my meme serves to vent my frustrations with an appalling situation and to serve as a jumping off point for deeper conversations.
  No matter the frothing at the mouth, anyone not directly involved in the decision making process of this 'war' is essentially powerless. We can pressure our governments to not fund a given side, but that's about the extent of it.
  It's pretty fucking shitty.

"I...HAVE... THE...RIGHT...TO...DEFEND...MYSELF"

Krusty is Jewish, perfect fitting meme
- Lmao! I forgot about that. Perfect.

I keep asking what these peckerwoods think would happen if the people THEY oppress started using the Zionist Defensive Feint("right to self defense/right to existence") to justify dropping chalk outlines of our settlers. I never get a satisfactory answer-- it's almost like the liberal barbarian's brain breaks when trying to parse any application of violence from those they oppress.

- Maybe, just maybe it's an alignment of ideology and geopolitical interests across the ruling class rather than genetics.
  Maybe Jews were pushed into usury, maybe they're over-represented in certain spaces like Ivy League schools because they're wealthier on average, which buys a better education and more opportunities, perpetuating that wealth and success.
  Pretty much anything the Nazis blame on Jewish genetics can easily be boiled down to class intetests without the weird blood libel conspiracism and insistence everyone they don't like is a Jew.
  
  Of course it's political! Of course it's not genetic! FFS, I'm not retarded.
  How about "Israelites" are running shit in a shadowy conspiracy? That tastes almost as foul in my mouth. But I can sure see where the nuts are coming from.
  And see where you're going with this? Anti-Nazi and racism talk. I'm neither a Nazi nor a racist, and you can check every post I've ever made, here or on reddit (/u/shalafi71). Every single one. Go back 11-years on reddit if you like.
  But see how the conversation went that way when I started talking about Israel and Jews? And to be clear; I do NOT wish to conflate the two. But it's easy to see how many (most?) folks do?
  Jews were pushed into usury, maybe they're over-represented in certain spaces like Ivy League schools because they're wealthier on average, which buys a better education and more opportunities, perpetuating that wealth and success
  Any anyone joining this discussion, read that over and over again, because it's true and that's how it worked out. We decry this sort of thing, uh, usually, but it's OK because the Jews have been the underdogs for 2,000+ years? Maybe? I've always been a cheerleader for Jews and Israel. I really don't know what to think anymore.
  To get back on point, here's what I'm seeing, when my eyeballs can get past the in-your-face genocide:
  Got any sort of influence in the 1st world? Spoken against Israel lately? Still got a job? Yes, yes, no.
  Anything in that last sentence strike anyone false?
- That's because you ignore everything that has happened in Palestine unless it's connected to Israel.
  It has nothing to do with "Jews controlling the world" or other conspiracy theories. It's that when you are living in a "western" culture you are more aligned with the culture of Israel (women's rights, rights for LGBTQ people, at least the hope for democracy, protection of citizens instead of using them as propaganda tools, etc.).
  That is why many western politicians and media rather reluctantly call out Israel on it's war crimes.
  Imagine when what many seem to wish comes true and Israel is abolished. The whole area becomes Palestine. Then we will have another country where people suffer under a religious zealot leadership. No rights for women or LGBTQ, no schools that educate their children to become free thinkers, no democracy or working for a better future, etc.

- Yeah bro, those dead Gazan kids agree with you. The Israelis seem pretty indiscriminate. Hamas was too, which is why the whole situation makes me sick.
  Should Hamas be hunted down like dogs? Yep.
  Should you blow up hospitals to get at them? Nope.
  Should you kill 10x the civilians your attackers did? Nope.
  you've got to be a gymnast to land the mental backflip to suggest that Israel's response is reasonable. If the tables were turned, I'd be just as outraged.
  
  No, you don't get it. You know, there's all these details and context and it's so much more complicated than that. To put it the way you did is just so simplistic and misses the point. /s
  
  Ok, so some basic guidelines for the acute scenario. What's your answer to living right next to your mortal enemies for eternity and one of the teams isn't even a nation state? Historically many such responses weren't quite so half assed and were acutely devastating but prevented such future skirmishes by eliminating Nation-states. In the era of organized terrorism, eliminating nations doesn't necessarily solve problems. It's Such an ugly mess. If you think rational decisions are going to be made during flare ups with decades of underlying tension, you are not considerding the big picture well enough. I don't have the answer, but I'll always come down hard on terrorism as it's exempt from many of the diplomatic pressures that have been proven to establish contractual civility at least.
- Unfortunately we can't condense 75years of modern Israeli/Palestinian history into a 2 panel Simpsons meme to explain that, yes Krusty Burglar is evil but Homer had previously committed several atrocities of his own including the rape and murder of The Burglar's family and is now throwing grenades into the audience because they didn't do enough to stop the Burglar.
  But this is justified by the Simpson's religious/cultural beliefs, themselves formed in response to violence and trauma committed by others, and funded by the religious fanaticism of the Flanders family who believe the Burgler has to die to usher in the end times.
