What the fuck do you have against nazis. Infact they are very similar to you, hate jews love muslims.
You might actually be glad to no that Jan Maria Micheal Kowaski a devoted chatolic was killed in the nazi eugenic campaign even tho I know that you would have preffered to have him die a much slower death in the Gulags.

Dont say that. Muslims also killed by Nazis because Muslims are not Aryans though didnt mentioned Nazis killing them and they were same hate Jews but heres the thing, Muslims only show love, respect and good deeds just like other religions and about the extremist that you faced, they were not Muslims but an Atheist or bc religions called themselves muslim so everybody hate them.

That is the craziest conspiracy theory that I have ever heard.

...That's wasteful! They should be putting those people to work instead of filling them with lead! Give them jobs, a mediocre education, fill their hearts with hopes and dreams along with promises of wealth they will never actually achieve. Kinda like the good ol' USA.
(sorry I'm an American I've seen your other work, and honestly I think the entire middle east is a cluster-fuck of problems that are thousands of years old, and my country shouldn't get involved, please don't hide this comment)

calling oneself an "insecticide" after killing "people" is horrible because it is degrading those dead from their humanity and taking them as bare animals... hence your illustration fits perfectly; Nazism also saw all people other than Aryans as "insects" which must be killed to have a "clean and perfect" society...

I think the Nazi symbol is a bit too much. The cartoon is about police, not antisemitic people or racists. I have nothing to do with news story. A police symbol or a label "The Police" would have been a lot better. Targeting the poor is NOT the same as racism.

i think the nazi symbol is fine.the police keeps and uses nazi tactics mostly against the poor who dont have the means to buy her out!and u should know that any factor that divides people into kategories, IS RACISM. social racism. and deep down, religion has nothing to do with racism. not then and not now.

But as a cartoon, the swastika doesn't do it's job at conveying the artist's intents to relate to a police activity. Usually Latuff's cartoons are understandable without the comments below. I think this one is a miss, mostly because of the Nazi symbol. When you talk about "social racism", the more correct term is "classism" ([link] ). Both racism and classism are forms of discrimination, and I think the wrong one was presented here.

that and anti-semitism is bigotry, not racism!
