Comment on Interesting analogy
dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 days agoyes exactly - don’t use an anti-Semitic trope when criticizing Zionism, lest you be confused for an anti-Semite; this weakens the meme significantly and for no good reason (other than maybe to pick up support from conspiracy nuts and right-wingers by using a dog-whistle while still being palatable to people who don’t see the dog-whistle)

Uh yeah, so the point of the meme isn’t to make the association of anyone with lizards, it’s to point out the ridiculousness of land claims based on ethnic/religious identity and ancient historical associations.

right, but since representing Jewish people as lizards is an anti-Semitic trope, representing Zionists as lizards is an obvious blunder if it wasn’t an intentionally trying to be anti-Semitic
