Fall Back to the 1930s Funnies


I saved a few Halloween toons for today.
Look at your opposition party, America.

T-Pain is exactly what you see. But Kam and KJP just put their heads on the tee for him.
The Christian War on Halloween segues into the War on Xmas. Next thing you know King Donald will be threatening to invade Nigeria.

This war is at least not as deadly as an Israeli ceasefire (sic).


Alas, A Blog!:
If you publicly criticize Israel, you’ll sooner or later be confronted with the “why are you singling out Israel” critique. “There are so many nations in the world – so picking on the world’s one and only Jewish state must be motivated by antisemitism, right?”

Sometimes the 'motivated by antisemitism' part is implied rather than said, as in this essay by Professor Jeroen Bruggeman. At less rarified levels, it’s often stated more baldly, as in this question on Quora.

[...]

Few if any of Israel’s apologists who raise the “why single out Israel?” argument could honestly say they personally give equal attention to all the worlds’ crises; they typically pay far more attention to Israel than any other country.

Which is fine! People are allowed to care more about one issue than another. Even critics of Israel.
