Antisemiti­c Netanyahu cartoon disgusting

-

The April 10 cartoon shows the twisted thinking of the cartoonist and this paper. The cartoon shows Benjamin Netanyahu holding the two tablets that Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai with “Woopsy” on one and “Daisy” on the other, while showing a mountain of skulls depicting aid workers and civilians from the Hamas- Israeli war. What is wrong with this antisemiti­c hate? I will try to enlighten you. The Jewish people have been the most oppressed minority for the longest time, in fact many thousands of years. With that said Israel is done with being persecuted.

Whether you like Netanyahu or not, he is directing Israel to act in the only way to eliminate Hamas and other enemies of Israel. Israel did not start this war but they will finish it as they see fit. No nation has the right to oppose Israel’s right to exist and thrive without hostile attacks at any given moment. War is not pretty. Unfortunat­ely civilians that are in harm’s way may end up as a casualty of war. Unfortunat­ely Hamas uses civilians as human shields but Israel is the bad guy because they are defending themselves.

The cartoonist and this paper are ignorant of history and downright antisemiti­c.
