Who’s Killing Who? A Viewer’s GuideBecause you can’t tell the players without a pogrom!
Early Man
This generic “cave man” represents the first human settlers in Israel/Canaan/the Levant. Whoever they were.
Canaanite
What did ancient Canaanites look like? I don’t know, so this is based on ancient Sumerian art.
Egyptian
Canaan was located between two huge empires. Egypt controlled it sometimes, and…
Assyrian
….Assyria controlled it other times.
Israelite
The “Children of Israel” conquered the shit out of the region, according to bloody and violent Old Testament accounts.
Babylonian
Then the Baylonians destroyed their temple and took the Hebrews into exile.
Macedonian/Greek
Here comes Alexander the Great, conquering everything!
Greek/Macedonian
No sooner did Alexander conquer everything, than his generals divided it up and fought with each other.
Ptolemaic
Greek descendants of Ptolemy, another of Alexander’s competing generals, ruled Egypt dressed like Egyptian god-kings. (The famous Cleopatra of western mythology and Hollywood was a Ptolemy.)
Seleucid
More Greek-Macedonian legacies of Alexander.
Hebrew Priest
This guy didn’t fight, he just ran the Second Temple re-established by Hebrews in Jerusalem after the Babylonian Exile.
Maccabee
Led by Judah “The Hammer” Maccabee, who fought the Seleucids, saved the Temple, and invented Channukah. Until…
Roman
….the Romans destroyed the Second Temple and absorbed the region into the Roman Empire…
Byzantine
….which split into Eastern and Western Empires. The eastern part was called the Byzantine Empire. I don’t know if “Romans” ever fought “Byzantines” (Eastern Romans) but this is a cartoon.
Arab Caliph
Speaking of cartoon, what did an Arab Caliph look like? This was my best guess.
Crusader
After Crusaders went a-killin’ in the name of Jesus Christ, they established Crusader states, most notably the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Mamluk of Egypt
Wikipedia sez, “Over time, mamluks became a powerful military caste in various Muslim societies…In places such as Egypt from the Ayyubid dynasty to the time of Muhammad Ali of Egypt, mamluks were considered to be “true lords”, with social status above freeborn Muslims.[7]” And apparently they controlled Palestine for a while.
Ottoman Turk
Did I mention this is a cartoon? Probably no one went to battle looking like this. But big turbans, rich clothing and jewelry seemed to be in vogue among Ottoman Turkish elites, according to paintings I found on the Internet.
Arab
A gross generalization of a generic 19-century “Arab”.
British
The British formed alliances with Arabs, then occupied Palestine. This cartoon is an oversimplification, and uses this British caricature as a stand-in for Europeans in general.
Palestinian
The British occupied this guy’s land, only to leave it to a vast influx of….
European Jew/Zionist
Desperate and traumatized survivors of European pogroms and death camps, Jewish Zionist settlers were ready to fight to the death for a place to call home, but…
State of Israel Backed by “the West,” especially the US, they got lots of weapons and the only sanctioned nukes in the region.
Guerrilla/Freedom Fighter/Terrorist Sometimes people fight in military uniforms, sometimes they don’t. Creeping up alongside are illicit nukes possibly from Iran or elsewhere in the region. Who’s Next?
and finally…
The Angel of Death
The real hero of the Old Testament, and right now too.

Kristian letak ramai2 orang Yahudi kat Gaza sana pastu cukup masa bunuh semua atas nama dendam pas ...
Ingat semua di israel sekarang penganut yahudi ker?....tak kurang 1/3 adalah penganut islam dan kristian sendiri....dan di dalam org yahudi sendiri 70% adalah free thinker,atheis dan seangkatannya.
Zaman sekarang manusia makin lama makin nak bersatu meninggalkan karut marut peninggalan dendam nenek moyang....

adakah dia muslim sunni atau shiite?
klu sunni itulah bukti toleransi dalam islam
...
hakikatnya di kalangan negara arab dan turki yg menjalinkan hubungan diplomatik dgn israel adalah pengikut sunni...yg masih menghasut dan merangsang kebencian adalah syiah..roket yg hamas lancar tu pun adalah sedekah dari syiah iran.
jgn terbalikkan kisah.

Milik Allah S.W.T. dan akan diambil bila-bila masa.. bila sampai waktunya.
betul tu gedget. semua tanah atas muka bumi ni milik allah. manusia cuma dibagi pinjam je. tak kisah la bangsa dan agama apa. tak kisah la sejarah apa keturunan dari dulu. cuma ingat satu je, kita semua hamba allah. even badan yang kita ada sekarang ni pun milik DIA.
manusia je suka berbunuhan sesama sendiri. setiap manusia tu pun ada kedegilan sendiri. kalau sampai esok kita nak gaduh, sampai bila-bila semua nak menang. aku pun manusia biasa je. takde harta pangkat apelagi kuasa. tapi apa mampu aku buat, cuma doa semoga umat islam bersatu. yang benar tetap benar. yang salah tetap salah. mungkin sekarang tak nampak. tapi allah maha mengetahui dan maha berkuasa. bila-bila masa dia akan rungkai segala-galanya. aku cakap baik, so aku harap tak payah la sapa-sapa nak melenting. sebab even budak kecik pun akan cakap macam apa aku cakap. sebab sebagai manusia, kita akn tetap back to the basic. ALLAH. waallahualam.
