The Onion misfires badly with its ‘humorous’ take on Israel vs. Hamas

This one's gonna be trouble.

What is wrong with you?

Nice anti-Semitism.

What's next? Jews cause Germany to lose WW1? https://t.co/8wsjMSzD8e

Repulsive attempt at satire/humor.

— 🌊Barry Nash🌊 (@barryonash) May 10, 2021

This is supposed to be funny? It's not.

— Carole (@Charlesaw7x77) May 10, 2021

Bad idea guys. Plus this plays into some anti-Semitic tropes. Not your best work

really doing your part guys, nice. if you're lucky you'll get some retweets by people who shoot rockets from school rooftops. totally worth it, so edgy. pic.twitter.com/mdwCry3T5x

Interesting attempt at "edgy"?

— Kevin Lydon (@betdaqsports) May 10, 2021

Attempts at humor based on fictional baby-murder stories trigger me. It’s not biting, cutting political satire. It’s just plain old trash.

— 🌊Barry Nash🌊 (@barryonash) May 11, 2021

Was this funny in German 80 years ago?

— Alan Gura (@alangura) May 10, 2021

Haha funny, now do one about Muslims

— Jack Burton (@FreeConsumerism) May 10, 2021

It seems @TheOnion needs a primer course on blood libel. Not on how to do blood libel, cuz they're clearly experts on that, but on why blood libel is ALWAYS antisemitic.https://t.co/FhvUKISyAj

Pivoting from satire to antisemitism is an interesting play

I normally love the onion. This isn't cool.

The onion was a satirical legend in madison when I was in school there in early 90s. To see it devolve to this hateful antisemetic garbage is just sad.

— Bry‘kee (@lookbryand) May 11, 2021

Whoa. Not funny.

— james claydon (@CThrustmaster) May 10, 2021

Dear Onion: This isn’t even remotely funny. Do better.

— PixelPi (@pixelpi) May 10, 2021

Delete your account.

I guess to keep the progressives happy you need to produce antisemitism.

— J (@callme_sirJ) May 10, 2021

Whoever wrote this is an absolute disgrace. This fucking world, man. 1933 level anti semitism

— Justin Cohen (@JayCo24) May 10, 2021

Wow what the fuck you guys really aren’t funny anymore

— crease (@covfefe_14) May 10, 2021

— Perfesser Getz (@nealgetz) May 10, 2021

Lulz. Man y’all fail. Your Hamas child bomb was way funnier.

It’s amazing how many people are cheering The Onion for reporting the truth the networks won’t touch, but it’s also amazing how many people are tweeting praise of Adolf Hitler today.
