This is a comic in technical terms, but also political propaganda. I am not sure this type of content belongs in this community, regardless of which “side” the comic defends or attacks.
Because Comic strips have always been known for their political neutrality.
There’s quite a story being told in a single image. Such as the form of the blood on his boot.
Yeah, It’s not even a real Comic I’d argue. Probably best to just remove it.
So the mods will remove it, and ban the troll? Right?
You sure enjoy going around lemmy.world harrassing me.
I am engaging you in discussion - you are a prolific poster.
Calling people trolls and making up lies about them is not engaging in discussion.
Then rather than screaming “genocide” and nothing else, debate the questions I have raised to you.
This is not the comment chain to have this discussion. Goodbye.
Any country with leadership that commits war crimes should not be allowed to compete. Israel, the US, China, doesn’t matter who. Also, any soldier working for a foreign army that is well known for committing atrocities should absolutely not be allowed to compete.
Make it easy.
I get what the meme is saying, but IMO it’s not executed as clearly and well as it could’ve been.
Yep. But we were making a big deal out of Russia doing it so pot meet kettle.
Letting israel participate is a stunning display of hypocrisy to the world.
Which US soldiers are competing in the Paris Olympics?
Many israelis are Americans who are not born there.
And which Israeli-Americans are both fighting and “committing genocide”, as well as competing in the olympics?
Heres an easy to use link if you want to reference something

Probably in reference to the athletes that have personally signed bombs dropped on Gaza. Although that one is a Ukrainian man competing for Israel.
Generally Israel shouldnt be allowed to compete officially the same as Russia. This is how politics works, the atrocities a state commits, should be expected to have consequences that affect their citizens. Not always fair, but thats how the world works.
Israel-Palestine is not the same situation as Russia-Ukraine.
There are many IDF soldiers with the American nationality in your list so your argument fails. But israeli Olympians have also been directly signing the bombs used for the Genocide in Gaza.
Yes, I’ve seen video of Jewish-Americans in Israel occupying a house stolen from a Palestinian family.
I think there’s more than one… One with a crowd yelling at a man behind a garden gate. One where a man is trying to give the Palestinian milk from his own fridge (that’s still in the house)… But they’re both outside on the street when this happens.
I imagine there are news articles about such videos/cases.
I am asking sincere questions. If you have a list of names that answers my question, fantastic. I am literally asking for that list.
Russian olympians should not be competing. As well as the whole country.
IDF soldiers, and Israeli olympians, absolutely should not be signing bombs and then competing.
As an aside, and not a “gotcha”, and not a whataboutism. Countries committing genocide should not be competing.
Again,a sincere question.
What is your stance on North Korea, China, Rwanda or Syria also competing?
Russian olympians should not be competing. As well as the whole country.
IDF soldiers, and Israeli olympians, absolutely should not be signing bombs and then competing.
Wait why can’t Russians compete as a country, but israelis can compete as long as they’re not part of the IDF?
Palestinians are having a difficult time competing for some reason
“These two things are both bad and are therefore equivalent” is my least favourite human logical fallacy
Both Russia and israel are committing war crimes and therefore should both be banned from the Olympics.
What happened to all the liberals asking for Russia to be banned when they were committing war crimes?
Is it okay when israel does it?
