Ive heard this meme around and I've never seen it in an ironic context. It isn't even used to criticize israel (which would make it pro-palestine instead of anti-semetic), it's ONLY about the jews and seems to be heavily tied to happy merchant jokes and men with beards wearing hats. It also seems to be inspired by that fucking annoying :"The joos run everything" conspiracy theory, to which I say where is my cut? I'm jewish, I should be paid for doing my part. Upholding this scheme it stands to reason myself or my more devout jewish friends should get a cut. Henceforth the conspiracy doesn't exist, or doesn't apply to all jews. Who finds this funny?

"Who finds this funny?"

Jews, honestly. Largest purveyor of Jewish jokes are Jews themselves. After all, who better to deliver a Jewish joke than a Jew?

Technically it is anti-semitic, but it all boils down to whether you actually believe that Jews control everything. It's funny to attribute every bad thing that ever happens to a single group of people, see Bogdanoff twins, Illuminati confirmed etc.

That's actually kind of clever, Lots of good comedians are Jews and we do have a lot of tragedy to turn into comedy with time, if the old saying is true.

Mocking something by warping it around has always been a thing

just look at Yankee Doodle

Context is king. If Danny from Game Grumps says it, no. If you see it in a Ben Shapiro comment section, yes.

Cue doctor who "Is 3 a lot" meme.

There's a good chance that for every 4chan shitposter who says this, they really don't mean what they say and are just trolling/shitposting. Remember, take whatever people say on the internet with a grain of salt.

Context is everything.

Ben Shapiro saying it, not anti-semetic.

Stormfront? Absolutely.

It's mocking anti-Semitic views through parodying their logic into absurdum, so I would say no.

As with any offensive type of comedy it comes down to context. It's almost always the absurd way it's used in context to certain things such as this classic image.

so it's the sole heir to "Oy vey don't shove a rusty nail into your urethera!"
