Number one this is a depiction of Isreal and the U.S., not of "Jews" and the U.S. I hope that anyone looking at this cartoon would be able to interpret it as such rather than jumping to the conclusion that this figure somehow represented Judaism as a whole. If that were the case wouldn't it be more appropriate to have the Jewish figure next to the pope or some other Christian figure? Otherwise you have to really reach for the conclusion you seem to arrived at. Secondly, Jews are NOT a race. There are some races that self identify as Jewish, but usually these people are of Russian or Eastern European decent. This does not make them Jewish by any kid of racial standard, and in fact the Jews were appalled that people thought of them as such because it was an easy way to apply prejudice when racism was deemed acceptable in European and American society. Jews are the covenant of Abraham. Anyone can become a Jew. All you need to do is talk to a rabbi and make a firm commitment to the belief in God and to follow the commandments of Judaism. They will accept you no matter what your race. There are many African Jewish communities who are 100% black. They are no less Jewish than any white Jew. The idea that anything criticizing Isreal is somehow related back to some kind of racial prejudice is so tired at this point that everyone here has moved way beyond being offended at such a thing because we have an open mind. Maybe the cartoonist really is a fucking racist and wanted to convey exactly what you got, but I think it's quite unlikely. Please educate yourself a little more about Judaism and what it really is before you say dumb things. I'm not being mean I just really want to help you find your truth.
