The 3rd and fourth ones are a bit anti semetic aren't they?

Yeah you should make it clearer in #3 and 4 that what you're referring to is Israel and not Judaism in general. Don't know how you would do that though. Does Israel have a fictional national icon like Uncle Sam?

Israel is nation-state whose nation generally tends to adhere to Judaism. You can't really pick any sort of national symbol to use in parody or satire without it being a religious symbol, too. In which case you get called an anti-semite.

well, since most israeli are secular and so are most prominent political party's and some of the most radical oposition against the israeli nation state comes out of orthodox corner it does smack a lot of anti-semitism.
an soldier in an IDF uniform or an person with an israeli flag would have made a lot more sense

[Scary Monster]

Id say use an Israeli general or some kind of high ranking military or government official who is well known for his zionist policies, so that people see youre against the israeli state and its zionism, and not its people and judaism in general.

Not antisemitic, but anti-war, against childrens murders.
For example:

For example:

I know that, but someone who isn't clued up about israels dirty history is unlikely to make the connection.

I viewed the picture and all i saw was an orthodox jew. There was nothing to imply that he was supposed to personify israel. The image by its own merits is anti-semetic.


an soldier in an IDF uniform or an person with an israeli flag would have made a lot more sense
The president of Israel wouldve been ideal.

And homophobic to add to that.

For example:

Not intentionally dragging up age-old stuff, but yeah, it's true that such images would be much better suited to a ZOG conspiracy pamphlet than anything else. And...well, posting up a few images of those Hasidim who oppose a pre-Messianic return of the Jews to Israel does little if anything to explain why exactly their likeness could then be used to represent Israel without it being anti-Semitic. In fact, it probably makes it even more likely to be considered openly anti-Jewish / anti-Judaism, and even more suited to some conspiracy shit somewhere about ZOG or the Jewish lobby's alleged stranglehold on US policy-making. Should the 'right' person come across it, I would expect it to be used in such a way, if it hasn't already been...

HOWEVER...as the physical quality of the images, ignoring content, is pretty damn good, I'm willing to let that one slide! We'll call it an honest oversight, rather than anything malicious :rolleyes: Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to a the next instalment!

This.

I dont want to scare off people in this subforum who some real skills for a change, we need more genuine artists.

So far i have only seen Kevis, Koc, some greek guy who's name i forgot, some banned zizek loving maoist who's name i forgot, Dr Mindbender (the MS paint god), Posav, and myself (shameless selfbump) that have showed some very decent skill.

sometimes i just want to dig up all the mediocre crap that has been posted here and make a maddox style "your kids drawings suck!" thread... I mean thats how artschools work :rolleyes:

Oh, I could easily provide some mediocre crap for that thread, oh yeah! :drool:

The Third and Fourth one need to be more clear. They May not be Anti-Semitic, but they are certainly anti-Jewish.

And, if you are going to mention Israel, perhaps making the Israeli state somewhat of a puppet of the US would be more clear. because ZOG is bullshit. USA controls Israel. Israel doesn't Control USA.

DISOBEDIENCE!

[Fulanito de Tal]

I like the Uncle Sam and the black kids one and the elephant-donkey one.

Also, I like the picture of the Jews with the free Palestine sign. :thumbup1:

[Aurora]

I particularly like the one of uncle sam, micky mouse and the hooded abu graib detainee.

As others have pointed out some of them are anti-semitic. I know you probably didnt mean it that way, but jews and israel are not synonymous.
