I don't like this meme. Not because of the politics involved or anything, it just doesn't make sense.
I know it's supposed to be a subversion of "They're the same picture", but now the conversation doesn't work anymore.
Corporate wants you to find the difference between the two pictures, not just confirm that they are indeed different. They know that.
The point is that they are so clearly different pictures that it doesn't need explained
I think because it suggests that there is such thing as Israeli Ethnostate. There is Israel, in which you have about 25% Arab citizens. Far from being ethnostate, the Arab citizens enjoy equal rights and protections from the state.
Israel passed a controversial new “nation-state law” last week that’s sparking both celebration and fierce debate over the very nature of Israel itself.
The law does three big things:
It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people."
It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”
It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.”
Far from being ethnostate, the Arab citizens enjoy equal rights and protections from the state.
Are you blatantly lying or are you just incredibly misinformed?

Fuck no.
Reddit is just another Israeli propaganda hole pretending to be objective and fair. All those stereotypes of the "Jews are controlling the media" sure are not being dismissed with their handling of the latest crisis information coming out. At this point I give zero fucks for Israel or funding them anything, it's not good seeing US arms destroying innocents, and that includes our shitty foreign policy on other nations. We need to stop acting like petulant angry chimps.
“Jews are controlling the media”
"The US bourgeoisie control the anglophone media and Israel is their aircraft carrier in the middle east"
I hate how much people are able to channel antizionism into antisemitism, and how Israel actively encourages it.
