Incredibly oversimplified.
Edit: I was going to add more detail to my comment and speak to both sides but why should I have to? The cartoon endeavors to simplify the most complex issue of the last fifty years, why should I have to add more context to a comment on one post, on a small community, on a small social network?
Man... I hate when a meme fails to capture all the nuance of a situation and manages to tell a deeper truth at the same time.
If you were expecting nuance and balance in a meme you might not exactly understand why you're here.
You're right, the IDF has slaughtered far far far more people than appear in the cartoon
Not to mention that cartoon's lack of children.
A more realistic one would have at least 1/3 of the victims be children.
Yeah they missed the part where the cop beats up the guy
Yeah. The person preventing the lever from being pulled is also screaming that the person who wants to pull it is a tankie and a trump supporter in addition to being antisemitic.
Saying "Trump would be even worse" whilst stopping people from pulling the lever.
That's the point of a political cartoon...
