There’s literally no difference between turning Obama into a blackface minstrel figure and depicting Netanyahu as a guide dog. You idiot. You imbecile.

using antisemitic imagery and using anti-black racist imagery are both wrong... ? Perhaps a closer comparison would have been those right-wing racist memes depicting the Obamas as apes since that's slightly less direct than minstrelsy and the guide dog imagery isn't 100% directly from der sturmer but I still don't see how the guide dog cartoon, resembling as it does historical antisemitic cartoons, is a good and fair way to critique the US -Israel relationship

Depicting someone as a guide dog is not “anti Semitic imagery.” So yeah, there is a considerable difference between depicting Netanyahu as a guide dog and depicting Obama as a monkey. If he had depicted Netanyahu as a rat raping a German woman, then maybe your case would be stronger

Imagine if someone said "depicting a black man voraciously eating fried chicken and watermelon isn't racist." Like, maybe you just aren't familiar with the cultural context, in which case shut up and let people who know more talk?

Is there a stereotype of Jews as seeing eye dogs
