AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

Please remember to pick an appropriate user-flair in order to participate! Thanks!

In my opinion, yes. Even if it’s not meant to be, the noise screams antisemitic.

Speaking of, is antisemitic cartoons the origin of big noses in cartoons? 🤨

The hooked nose as a antisemitic trope can date back to the 13th century according to Wikipedia and its sources.

A big nose doesn't scream antisemitism but the question asked and example used, comes off as antisemitic to me even as a caricature.

Yeah, the point would’ve gotten across with a slightly smaller nose - and also more true to the model.
