Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Because of this ad: https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/disgusting-pro-el-sayed-ad-212940137.html?guccounter=1
I don't think it quite rises to antisemitism, but as a Canadian I see the same mentality as Trump. Trump blames Canada for the US not having healthcare, and apparently Sayed blames Israel for the US not having healthcare. Both are lying and promoting xenophobia.
Sayed is clearly bad at building coalitions. This is thing with Leftists. There's an expectation that everyone should automatically jump to support them. Everyone that questions anything must be a ZIONIST!!!!
Politics is about building coalitions and making compromises. One of Sayed's major weaknesses is that the working class feels like he abandoned them because something happening on the other side of the world is more important to him than they are. He was struggling to build a coalition so the Dems brought out the big guns (Obama) to help him build a coaltion.
I'm pretty sure he has the anti-Israel crowd voting for him even without the ad. What he needs is to show he cares about other issues. All he had to do is agree to pull the ad (it's useless to him anyway) and he'd have secured Haley Steven's endorsement. It's a really stupid move.
But that's leftism, isn't it? You don't need to make compromises, you don't need to make smart political moves, because you're right and everyone that disagrees with you is an EVIL ZIONIST!
I'm from Canada and the US is like bizarro world to me. Here it's just the conservatives that nominates weirdos that conform to internet memes that as candidates. They lose because being an elected representative requires more than just conforming to internet memes.
Sayed, is a weak candidate. You can't see that because he conforms to your internet memes, and there is nothing else other than your memes and EVIL ZIONISTS! So now what should be an easy win (Rogers is a very weak candidate and Trump is dragging down the GOP besides that) will be a nail-biter on Tuesday.
You obviously want to hate the Dems, you ignore the fact that they brought in Obama to help him. You'll likely be voting for the GOP in 2028, you're just looking for an excuse at this point.
You keep digging it deeper. Oh my gawd. Israel truly has nothing left anymore. They are so fucking cooked.
An ad he did not make. Nor Hasan, even if you come here to say his uncle shared it. Hasan constantly fights his own uncle because he is more conservative than he'd like. They disagree on a lot of things. They are not affiliated or working together in anything.
Last, but not least, the ad is awesome. What is wrong with the ad? It is spitting facts: American taxes are being used to kill Palestinians. Where is the lie or antisemitism in that? It is not antisemitic to criticize Israel, dude. You still cannot separate Jews and Zionists? Hasan taught me how important that is, to avoid lumping the actions of Zionists on all Jews, because it can be dangerous for the Jews. How come you still don't do that? You still treat them like a monolith.
Here is the ad by the way, at minute 1:59 in this irrelevant video, because the ad is hard to find by itself: https://youtu.be/Az64T3fX0So?t=119
Xenophobia against Canadians. That's new, brother. Lmfaooo. The amount of shit you are slinging is impressive.
The USA has given Israel over 21$ billion dollars in military aid from October 7 to September 2025, I am not counting 2026, nor the absolute mess they started in Iran under orders of Israel, orders of Netanyahu. All that money could've gone to make healthcare more accessible. Is El-Sayed wrong for pointing that out? No. He is not. He is right. Israel, the Zionist government that is ruling it and taking advantage of the people, is a fucking terrorist entity that needs to fuck off America and the world altogether. Not the Jews. The Zionists.
You don't speak for anybody anymore. Do you understand those things happening in the other side of the world is making the entire world hate the USA, therefor investing a lot less in them, which is affecting the working class? Like, I already pointed out their hard-earned money, which they use to pay taxes, is being used to bomb schools in the Middle East instead of making healthcare accessible once and for all, like other countries have done in Europe. The fact you are incapable of connecting these dots (I know you do, you are just acting dumb on purpose to serve the Israeli government) says a lot about how little of a fuck you give for the working class.
You don't mind putting them in danger by using their taxes to fund military operations that are doing nothing but garner the ire of the world. My country, Mexico, already cut so many ties with American suppliers to instead open new ones with Asiatic ones. We are yearning for a country to come here and remove the USA from power, because as I already mentioned, the USA's gun culture is costing us over 30,000+ innocent people every year. All because of the tariffs, and also its relentless support for the apartheid. It only revived the topic of the Iron River over here. They are doing to them what they do to us.
The ad is not anti-Israel. It is anti-Zionist and anti-war. You are trashy for trying to make people think they should condemn it.
Why the fuck would Abdul want Hayley Stevens with him? She already proved to have no spine, just like you.
You are dumber than the average MAGA in the USA, dude. You did nothing but strengthen the stereotype "Canada never sends their best". You're easily one of the dumbest Canadians I have talked to in my life.
Why do you think I hate the Dems? My country, Mexico, has been waiting for over 25+ years to be "saved" by the US. Why did the toll of innocent people we lose every year only increased steadily over the past decades? Why didn't the Dems do more for us? I mean. I still prefer them over the conservatives, because the Dems were the only ones that want less guns around, that have attacked the PLCAA too, which is what is protecting a lot of the warmongers to continue manufacturing guns to sell to gangs in third-world countries.
Even after that, I have no issue telling you that I'd still prefer Kamala over Trump. I'd still prefer someone like Obama over any MAGA candidate, because I believe we can still talk about class consciousness without having to suffer this much. Too bad the other path was chosen, but I stopped hating it either, because it quickly and completely removed the mask. It is sadly, one of the only ways to make closed-minded narcissists like MAGAs, who will always refuse admitting they are wrong, understand how bad the fire burns if they put their hand in it. They are like dumb little children who will do something stupid even after you tell them not to. I hope they keep feeling the burn. It is not remotely close to what we have felt.
Edit: recent polls show El-Sayed on top by 11 points. I'm not biting my nails. Zionists like you must be, though.
By the way. What is your opinion on Netanyahu? Don't you think he is the worst offender when it comes to antisemitism? He put all the Jews in danger with his weird obsession with the Arabs and Muslims. Also, since you are a Zionist, why the obsession with the Arabs and Muslims, but not the Germans? How come you never talk or show any anger toward the Germans? They were the ones who did the Holocaust after all. Why did you help them win and get away with it? Is it because you want to be like them? You wish you were as respected as they are, despite the evil their ancestors did? Nobody praises Israel for anything to be honest. Not their engineering, not their culture. So. What's up? Why the Arabs? Why not the Germans? No single Zionist has been able to answer me this. They never do.
OK we're done here.
I realize I'm probably just enabling your unhealthy Hasan obsession by continuing to talk to you. Please talk to someone, either a family member or a mental health professional. You are not well.
Hasan is not your friend, he's just an internet guy. You can think for yourself, you don't need him to think for you.
Told ya. No Zionist will ever answer that question, lmfao. They ALWAYS run away like this. It is impossible for you to hide now.
We are not even talking about Hasan anymore, but how the Israeli government is a terrorist entity, not its people (despite their insane support, I see them as victims just like the young Nazi children who were forced to believe in Hitler. The difference here is Netanyahu instead of Hitler). This is what people like you, SpaceCowboy, are teaching the children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5foP1h55nA
I've seen the Hamas ones too, but don't bother. They are the victims here. Hamas was created by the orphans Israel left behind during its most bloodthirsty years, like doing the Nakba just 2 years after the Holocaust ended. "That land was promised to us years ago" no it was not. You are talking about the Balfour Declaration of November 2, 1917, a letter in which the British government expressed support for establishing a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine.
Britain did not explicitly promise to give all of Palestine to the Jewish people or establish a sovereign Jewish state in that letter. The wording was deliberately more limited, though it became a major political foundation for the later Zionist project. And even if they did; why the fuck should the rest of the world give a fuck about what the British Government said a hundred years ago? Why the fuck should we care? We will force you to return everything you stole from the Arabs back. You won't get away with what you did.
I rather let someone like Hasan think for me than the fucking Israeli government, dog. Hasan was 100% right. The Zionist movement is fucking dying. Thank God. Ooouh mai gaaawd
Here, I dedicate you this music video I made for Ethan Klein, a crazy ass pro-IDF Israel Zionist cocksucker. It's titled: "Tamara, The Hero of Ramallah"

I want to kiss you, bro. You showed me hope. You just showed me how fucking weak the Israeli propaganda machine has become. Oh my god, oh my god. It's finally happening. AAAAAAAH!!! JUSTICE, BABY.
FOR ALL THE 70,000+ PALESTINIANS ZIONISTS KILLED, MOTHERFUCKER. THEY'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
This is why you hate Hasan Piker. He made the Zionist Project an impossibility. He's a massive rock in your boots. Good. Fuck Zionism.
