Goes way beyond mere criticism of Hillary Clinton's policy positions on Israel and asserts that Hillary Clinton is disloyal to America by waving an Israel flag. Accusing Jewish Americans or any allies of Israel of "disloyalty to America" is a common anti-Semitic trope, as are depictions of American politicians altered to show them with Israeli flag garb. Please remove that toon.

I'm getting real sick of the hate and bloodthirst our politicians show towards those who dare to exist while Arab, be swept under the all-covering rug off antisemitism. As if abuse and violence against Palestinians is a manifest character of Jews, that to question it makes one anti-Jewish!

Leave the cartoon. Ditch the politician.

Clinton dove headfirst into the trenches to "support Israel" during its latest Gaza turkey-shoot, which left 2,100 dead - most of them civilians - thousands more injured, 45,000 homeless, far more displaced, over a million terrorized. She's been an unswerving loyalist to every atrocity, every backstabbing, every act of war that Israel has engaged in.

Picturing her waving an Israeli flag isn't antisemitic. It is, in fact, an entirely fucking accurate depiction of her position.
