Thanks for using this template instead of the one which uses antisemitic imagery - it always hurts seeing the other version depicting the character which looks like he comes straight from an nazi pamphlet (the ugly banker with hooked nose which gets fat while the others starve)
If you want to reuse it instead of the antisemitic one, I’ve uploaded a blank and more neutral version on my templates page ;)
Now this is the kind of content generation I was hoping to find when I came to Lemmy!

Thanks mate, bookmarked!
The artist of that image, Ercan Baysal, is a left-wing Turkish cartoonist. The nose doesn’t look particularly different than most other characters he draws. I don’t see any evidence that it’s intended to be antisemitic in any way.
Semites include arabs. So it’s used quite incorrectly and misleadingly. Both in false accusations conflating criticism of nazis running a country pursuing a final solution to their others after decades of abusing them and forcing them into ghettos they control, and also in using anti semitism as a term to refer to anti jewishness. As I said, Arabs are a semetic people. Descended from the Phoencians in part, and carthaginians, both semetic also.
As if the purveyors of bad faith bigotry accusations to crush resistance to unspeakable atrocities give a shit they don’t. Still though there is no reason we should repeat their terms without question when they are clearly wrong factually, any more than we should accept their bad faith justifications, or their blackmailing of our ruling class with video evidence of them fucking children garnered through epstein for that matter.
Yes, Arabs are also semites, but the word “antisemitic” means bigotry towards Jewish people specifically regardless of what race they are. It is a misnomer, but that’s how language goes.
Now, Zionists redefining the word as being opposed to the government of Israel is another matter. That’s a bullshit definition.
