Does that mean that you can't be anti-semitic though? And does it mean that if you find something which is allegedly anti-semitic to be funny, that it can't be anti-semitic?
Doesn't mean I can't be, although I'm sure the number of anti-semitic jews is fairly low.
And anti-semitism is in the intention and the perception. When we can't know what the intention is (because all we have is a cartoon and no authorial comment), we must rely on the perception. If it doesn't look anti-semitic to me, then it's not anti-semitic to me. It may well be anti-semitic to you, of course. But that's hardly my responsibility, is it?
Oh, and the cartoon in this case is pro-semitic anyway.
