They say the war is over... but the pain inside me hasn’t ended.
The bombs may have stopped falling, but the struggle is far from over.
I'm Sakher — a young man who lost everything in this war.
My home… gone. My memories, my work, my future all destroyed

Bluesky @moderation.bsky.app is violence. It is violence because it's a callous silencings of one of the few liines of communications for people in Gaza. It erases their history as individuals just as surely as the bombs upon houses.

Do you see their faces? Do you see how thin and gaunt they are getting? As you delete them and deny their cries for help?

How does it feel? Do you feel anything? Do you even have a heart?

History will remember you. I will remember you.

All Jews Welcome!

Read more cartoons! ---> #PoliCartoon
Help us make more! ----> patreon.com/barry

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels, all showing the front steps of a brownstone building.

PANEL 1

A middle-aged man wearing a kippah stands on the landing atop the steps, making an expansive, welcoming gesture. A woman is standing on the steps talking to him.

MAN: Welcome to the Jewish community! All Jews are welcome!

WOMAN: Are you sure? I’m Jewish, but I don’t keep kosher.

MAN: No matter! A Jew’s a Jew.

PANEL 2

The same man is now talking to someone else, a young guy in a striped t-shirt.

YOUNG GUY: I don’t observe Shabbat. And I never had a Bar Mitzvah.

MAN: That’s no problem! Judaism is for all Jews!

PANEL 3

The same man is now talking to a young woman with curly black hair.

WOMAN: I was raised Jewish, but now I’m an atheist.

MAN: You’re still one of us!

WOMAN: And I’m against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

PANEL 4

The woman, looking dizzy, is lying on the pavement at the bottom of the stairs, her purse a few feet away. The man, off-panel, yells from the top of the stairs.

MAN: AND STAY OUT!

CHICKEN FAT WATCH

“Chicken fat” is long-hibernating cartoonist slang for funny but unimportant details in a comic.

PANEL 1: The back of the woman’s hoodie says “BAND NAME.”

PANEL 3: Tattoos on the woman’s arm say “This That Other.” There’s also a tattoo of Ignatz Mouse from Krazy Kat.

PANEL 4: There’s a rat on the sidewalk, who is wearing glasses and smoking a pipe. The woman’s tattoos now include a light bulb with a thought balloon showing a lit-up light bulb, Leela from Futurama, a razor crossing a rolling pin, and a slice of pie. On her other arm, tattoos say “Pow Zap” and there’s a tattoo of Krazy from Krazy Kat.

Newspaper on the sidewalk is called “Daily Backgrounder.” The top headline is “Wayward Song To Carry On: Forecasters Predict Peace When Done.” Smaller headlines says “Hidden Pigeons Emerge For Cyanide-Coated Peanuts: Bird Community Vows Revenge” and “Body Found In Chicago: Victim Looks Like Jigsaw Puzzle With Pieces Missing.”

a graphic of disconnection warning tomorrow power bill. it reads: What used to be (in green text) four hundred and ninety bill, is now (in red text) seven hundred and thirty four bill or disconnection on october eighth. On the side is a call recording from july that states evergy account is not eligible for payment agreement and that one thousand fifty two dollars needed to be paid immediately to avoid disconnection. Text around this reads: "this is not the first time. power shutoff in july after bill rose to one thousand overdue. Allies, stop letting goals fail, redistribute!" paylink is moneyyy.me/$memwho End ID.

No charged phone or wifi, spoiled foods, hot weather. Help us avoid shutoff. A Black trans disabled person who is grieving was forced to trade weeks of life to crowdfund over two thousand five hundred in bills and rent, the latter of which still ended up being late for the seventh month this year! In exchange, they’re grieving whilst malnourished and in destitute conditions without basic needs met. unfortunately, their power set to shutoff on October eigth if seven hundred thirty five is not paid. Reconnection is over nine hundred, hundreds of dollars that could go to their wellbeing instead! Please support them today. moneyyy dot me slash dollar sign memwho.
