Michael Ramirez for October 11, 2023

Ramirez can say a lot without one word. He can touch feelings.

Centuries later it continues to be a sad world.

I am surprised the teddy bear was not decapitated.

I wonder how much support Harvard will lose from wealthy donors.

Excellent illustration.

Quite right. Hamas has committed crimes against humanity. Which perfectly justifies Israel’s retalitory crimes against humanity.

As horrible as the protests in many cities supporting Hamas along with student groups at many colleges.

This is what the far left gets you.

Considering the ongoing slaughter that’s been taking place in, for example, Africa, Haiti, and other parts of the middle east, it took him this long to notice crimes against humanity

And leveling whole blocks in Gaza is not a crime? Shutting off water/electricity/food is not a crime? There is no question about the brutality expressed by Hamas.. but to respond in kind is not the answer either.

hmmm…seems like Brandon gave $730+ million to a UN funded anti-Israeli group…imagine that…BTW, where is all of the US military hardware and munitions from Brandon’s glorious Afghan withdrawal…81 million votes, yeah right…

Many years ago – pre- 9/11 – we hosted an exchange student from Morocco. He was with us when Russian dissidents booby-trapped an elementary school and killed both students and teachers. To say he was livid is a massive understatement. “If they think Allah is going to let them into Paradise with the blood of children on their hands, they are in for a big surprise.”

Remember when Israel was shooting children in the streets?

I assure you, Ramirez, Russian troops have done similar things in Ukraine, and on a much larger scale.

They beheading babies, they’re butchering people and they’re throwing grenades into the bomb shelters, killing hundreds, raping parading them around, sick sick sick‼️‼️‼️

An endless cycle of hate.

Does anyone else wonder if this is all a trap for Israel?

Hamas picked a particularly provocative way to attack Israel. They could have just stuck to military targets, but chose to murder civilians, which is sure to provoke an extreme reaction from the Israeli military. Hamas knows it can’t beat the Israeli military. They have no defense against it’s air force. And when the IDF invades the Gaza Strip, Hamas will lose and cause massive casualties among civilians and the Israeli forces. Hamas is not stupid, the fact they pulled this off proves that. And regardless of what you think about killing civilians, they are not cowards. Every single one of their fighters knows they will probably die. They’ve picked a fight they can not win, so what’s their game?

In a war, it seems the innocents always suffer the most…

Michael, today’s artwork brought tears to my eyes; it’s just so awful.

The Israelis are reaping what they have sowed..

Their “government” bears a responsibility for this.

As Yuval Noah Harari commented in the Washington Post:

The real explanation for Israel’s dysfunction is populism rather than any alleged immorality. For many years, Israel has been governed by a populist strongman, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is a public-relations genius but an incompetent prime minister. He has repeatedly preferred his personal interests over the national interest and has built his career on dividing the nation against itself. He has appointed people to key positions based on loyalty more than qualifications, took credit for every success while never taking responsibility for failures, and seemed to give little importance to either telling or hearing the truth.

The coalition Netanyahu established in December 2022 has been by far the worst. It is an alliance of messianic zealots and shameless opportunists, who ignored Israel’s many problems — including the deteriorating security situation — and focused instead on grabbing unlimited power for themselves. In pursuit of this goal, they adopted extremely divisive policies, spread outrageous conspiracy theories about state institutions that oppose their policies, and labeled the country’s serving elites as “deep state” traitors.

The government was repeatedly warned by its own security forces and by numerous experts that its policies were endangering Israel and eroding Israeli deterrence at a time of mounting external threats. Yet when the IDF’s chief of staff asked for a meeting with Netanyahu to warn him about the security implications of the government’s policies, Netanyahu refused to meet him. When Defense Minister Yoav Gallant nevertheless raised the alarm, Netanyahu fired him. He was then forced to reinstate Gallant only because of an outbreak of popular outrage. Such behavior over many years enabled a calamity to strike Israel.

Is that a Jewish or Muslim teddy bear?

I vote for a National policy for the U.S., directed to the bad guys worldwide…“F around and find out”.

Wouldnt have happen under Trump
