StandWithUs comic book portrays activist Palestinians (and allies) as vermin,

reminiscent of Nazi propaganda

 

Well, the pictures really speak for themselves.
StandWithUs has a new supremacist celebration of militant Jewish nationalism
and masculinity children’s comic book featuring Captain Israel, who I think we
can all agree looks mighty fine in a sparkly silver body suit with matching rhine-
stone belt and shamelessly appropriated Jewish religious symbols. StandWithUs
is on the openly racist end of  the  mainstream  Jewish  institutional  world.  And
they’ve given us a new version of an old story-the New Zionist Man (To understand
this propaganda in its proper historical context, see below for explanatory text about
 early Zionism,  Jewish masculinity and Orientalism.)
 

 
But it gets better. Perfect, shining Captain Israel needs a diseased, less than
human “other” to give him his all-man mojo. Episode 2 will feature Captain
Israel’s undoubtedly victorious epic battle against “the venomous” Boycotts,
Divestment and Sanctions movement. (See image below.)
 

 
I wondered what it was about the evil serpent-the colors of the Palestinian flag- that
looked so familiar to me?  Where on earth did they get the inspiration to portray the
Palestinian and international human rights groups that support the BDS movement
as a big, fanged, serpent? As vermin? (And then I remembered I had seen it in different
(Genesis inspired) anti-Semitic propaganda about ‘conniving’ Jews, and thought, why
not just call them all  “cockroaches” and get it over with? )
A comic book for children, this is really beyond muzzling.  This is about preparing for
eradication.
Let’s see how long we have to wait before they get called out by the mainstream Jewish
organizations they partner with. Paging Abe Foxman and The Anti-Defamation League.
Paging David Harris of the AJC. Paging the Jewish Federations of North America.
These people, StandWithUs, call themselves educators. They are educating your children.
Our children. As history has shown, and as we Jews know too well, this kind of dehumaniz-
ationcomparing people to vermin- should never, ever be acceptable.
Anti-Semitic propaganda below:

 
Left: French Jewish Captain Alan Dreyfus portrayed as a snake, skewered with a dagger
saying  “traitor”.  His  case,  in  which he  was  wrongly  condemned  and  imprisoned for
espionage, inspired  then  journalist  Theodor Herzl to  work  towards  the  creation of a
Jewish State because he felt it was the only solution to chronic European anti-Semitism.

 
The poster above?

This vivid poster from the September 1930 Reichstag election summarizes Nazi
ideology in a single image. A Nazi sword kills a snake, the blade passing through a
red Star of David. The red words coming from the snake are: usury, Versailles, unemployment, war guilt lie, Marxism, Bolshevism, lies and betrayal, inflation,
Locarno, Dawes Pact, Young Plan, corruption, Barmat, Kutistker, Sklarek [the last
three Jews involved in major financial scandals], prostitution, terror, civil war.

And for a little background on early Zionism to give you some tools for appreciating
what a throwback  Captain Israel really is. From Raz Yosef of Tel Aviv University’s book,
 Beyond Flesh:

Zionism was not only a political and ideological program but also a sexual one.
The  liberation  of  Jews  and  creation of a new nation were closely intertwined
with a  longing  for the  redemption and normalization of the Jewish male body.
That  body  had to be  rescued  from  anti-Semitic,  scientific-medical  discourse
associating it with disease, madness, degeneracy, sexual perversity, and femininity
even with homosexuality. The Zionist movement was intent on transforming the
very nature of European Jewish masculinity as it had existed in the diaspora. Zionist/Israeli films expressed this desire through visual and narrative tropes,
enforcing the image of the hypermasculine, colonialist-explorer and militaristic
nation-builder, an image dependent on the homophobic repudiation of the “feminine” within men.

The creation of a new heterosexual Jewish man was further intertwined with attitudes on the breeding of children, bodily hygiene, racial improvement, and Orientalist perspectives which associated the East, and especially Eastern bodies, with unsanitary practices, plagues, disease, and sexual perversity. By stigmatizing Israels Eastern populations as agents of death and degeneration, Zionism created internal biologized enemies, against whom the Zionist society had to defend itself.

In the name of securing the life and reproduction of the new Ashkenazi Jewry, Israeli society discriminated against both its internal enemies, the Palestinians, and its own citizens, the Mizrahim (Oriental Jews).
