Harvard University has condemned what it called a “flagrantly antisemitic cartoon” posted on social media by student and faculty groups that advocate for Palestinian liberation.
I’m not saying it’s not antisemitic - there is still a minority of antisemites out there that hates Jewish folks more than they hate Arab people (the reverse seems to be the case for the majority of western antisemitism these days). What I am saying is that Israel is no less anti-black than the US is - and no less white supremacist. The author may be referencing that - or they may not.
Considering the article says the cartoon comes from the 1960s and the Beta Israel Exodus didn’t begin until 1979, I think we can be absolutely sure that the author is not referencing that and is just a piece of shit antisemite.
An Israeli flag wouldn’t be enough. The cartoon implies that Jews, who own all the money, are killing off Arabs and black people.*
A hand imprinted with the flag of Israel hanging a Palestinian? Disturbing, maybe intentionally so, but not antisemitic.
Perhaps you should ask the opinions of Ethiopian Jewish folk before writing that off as inappropriate.
Oh, okay. Well that definitely makes the whole cartoon not antisemitic because that’s for sure what the cartoonist was talking about. My mistake.

Yeah, I’d say that pretty much settles it.
