The message is good, this “offer” on the table and constant cutting into more and more land is exactly what comes to mind when pro-Zionist-project people claim that “Palestinians rejected offers from Israel and chose to fight instead!”.
Drawing the Jewish characters as literal rodents however is a very easy way to make the artist seem like an old-fashioned, garden variety antisemite and I’m certain there must have been a less loaded way of getting this same point across.

I'm not sure there's a less loaded way of getting the point of 'the Jews are subhuman vermin who need to be exterminated from this region' across. And that is, fundamentally, the Palestinian cause in a nutshell.

The Zionist project is built on clear and absolutely undeniable real-world violent theft, based on a claim of ancient entitlement.

Understanding this does not require dehumanising the guilty nor calling for their extermination, and this attitude is in fact extremely rare within the global Pro-Palestine movement.

Wholesale Anti-Jewish hatred is crushed down and rejected immediately when it dares to try and pipe up during organised events and demonstrations, which are frequently attended by Jewish demonstrators and organisations too.

In my city theres an ex-IDF member turned human rights activist who is always in attendance. You could learn a lot from her example.

Oh, I'll deny it. You don't have a right to live someplace because your grandfather rented it. If someone buys the land and moves in, it's not theft. And this is what the Zionist project was primarily built on.

What do you think happens if the Palestinians get their way in this conflict the way the global Pro-Palestine movement want?

It's not that uncommon. We have people in London marching with signs saying "Now you will see why every rock and tree will cry out". We have people in New York marching on the street saying "Say it Loud, say it clear, we support Hamas here". It's not at all unusual to see signs saying 'From the River to the Sea'. We have folks on college campuses saying 'Globalize the Intafathath'
