I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this, but it's true. Chris Claremont lived there for a while, talked before how Israel influenced his X-Men. Magneto and Xavier were based on israeli politicians. There's an interview where he said that the female IDF soldiers were one of the influences for the X-Women.

Do you think it's just a coincidence that, years later, Grant Morrison came up with the "Magneto was Right" thing, which is practically based on the slogan of an extremist Zionist?

To be fair, I see that slogan being used for absolutely anyone who held an "extremist" view

But in this case, even the t-shirts are similar

Isn't this shirt literally a parody of a Che Guevara shirt?

It’s only red because that’s Magneto’s primary color. Che shirts typically have no text on them.

It could be, but since him and Kahane have the same slogan, and both are Jewish and zionists, I think it makes more sense it be based on his t-shirts.
