Hurt people will hurt people…
The abused will become the abuser.
Good job someone added the flags otherwise the subtle satire would have been lost on me
The eagerness from bad actors to assume these depictions are about Jews broadly warrants some level of specificity in symbolism. It is the most direct symbol of Israel, not the star of David. It is the most direct symbol of Nazi Germany, not the Buddhist swastika.
These days either one could have been American though.
TL note: “These days” means any time from 1958 to now.
That person could be palestinian specifically, or any other middle easterner.
well because just having the nose would be racist
Looks like the original didn’t have the flags. Just the nose. Kind of a fucked up cartoon actually; probably shouldn’t promoting this one.
I haven’t found any “original” of this image. However, it was seemingly drawn by Carlos Latuff. The nose trope is not uniform across his work, nor is it only depicting jews this way.
Basically the same image created a year after this one went viral and presumably by the same artist.
The Korean “Lebanon” on the victim is an edit spread among Koreans discussing the war which is where it went viral and so explains why it’s otherwise difficult to find… I haven’t found any earlier (july 2016), but it’s confirmed non original as intended, which is obvious since Carlos is Brazilian.

Maybe the nose is an unfortunate side effect of drawing a face at an odd angle.
Angles where the nostrils are visible certainly seem wrought with danger for line artists. Or maybe it’s just the topic and how desperate people are to distract.
yea i was being snarky but was trying to say that
The text on the foreground victim figure says “Lebanon” in Korean. For info.
