Based on a tweet @guess-what.bsky.social once made, in which he declared "chances are, at least one penguin has tried to book a flight."

The New Yorker also rejected this one.
A penguin sits in an airplane seat, next to a woman looking at a tablet. She is looking at him with a side-eye. The penguin is thinking, "Tell ME I can't do something..."

The election of Zohran Mamdani as NYC mayor has exposed a gulf between the younger and older generations of American Jews. I made this zine to explore a significant part of that divide.

1/2
A smartphone shows a social media post of people waving Palestinian flags. At the center it says "(Anti)Zionism, Social Justice, and Jewish Gen Z by Emily K." ANTI-ZIONISM AND SUPPORT FOR THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE HAVE GROWN AMONG LEFTIST AND LEFTY JEWS, ESPECIALLY AMONG PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 30. AND YET, JEWISH KIDS WERE AND STILL ARE GIVEN A JEWISH EDUCATION THAT IS BROADLY "PRO-ISRAEL." image: Jewish people at a protest carrying signs that say “Free Palestine” and “Boycott Divest Sanction.” I THINK THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS AT PLAY, AND NO, I DON'T THINK TIKTOK IS TO BLAME. MILLENNIALS AND ZOOMERS GREW UP IN A SYNAGOGUE CULTURE THAT HAS, IN MY EXPERIENCE, DONE A SUBPAR JOB TEACHING JEWISH HISTORY. MY OWN JEWISH EDUCATION SKEWED HEAVILY TOWARD ASHKENAZI/EASTERN EUROPEAN EXPERIENCES, MADE STORIES OF OPPRESSION AND THE HOLOCAUST A CENTRAL POINT OF OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE, AND GLOSSED OVER THE COMPLEX HISTORY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL. Image: an online chat between two friends. Amir_S: Just heard from my Dad. My cousin was killed in the Gaza strikes.. Hannah: Oh my god.. I'm so so sorry Amir_S: My uncle is stranded in the West Bank because his work permit was revoked. He can't get to the funeral, if they can even have one THIS KIND OF EDUCATION LEAVES A VOID OF KNOWLEDGE TO BE FILLED, OFTEN BY FREE-FLOWING INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. AND WHILE I DON'T THINK SOCIAL MEDIA ITSELF IS A CAUSE OF THE SHIFT IN YOUNG JEWISH ATTITUDES, THE FACT THAT WE ARE MUCH MORE ONLINE THAN PREVIOUS GENERATIONS HAS DOUBTLESSLY AFFECTED OUR VIEWS. FOR ONE THING, IT IS EASIER THAN EVER TO TALK DIRECTLY TO PALESTINIANS. GEN Z HAS NEVER KNOWN AN "UNDERDOG ISRAEL.” MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z WERE BORN INTO A WORLD WHERE NOT ONLY DOES ISRAEL EXIST, IT'S A MIGHTY NATION WITH ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCED MILITARIES IN THE WORLD. IT HAS THE UNSHAKING BACKING OF THE UNITED STATES FINANCIALLY AND POLITICALLY, AND HAS RECEIVED LITTLE - IF ANY - PUSHBACK FOR THEIR ACTIONS. BOOMERS REMEMBER THE SIX DAY WAR AND THE YOM KIPPUR WAR, TWO CONFLICTS THAT WERE A REAL THREAT TO ISRAEL'S EXISTENCE. MILLENNIALS REMEMBER THE 2ND INTIFADA, IN WHICH HUNDREDS OF ISRAELIS WERE MURDERED BY TERRORISTS. MANY OF US REMEMBER PRIME MINISTER YITZHAK RABIN'S ASSASSINATION. BUT GEN Z ONLY KNOWS AN ISRAEL WITH AN ENTRENCHED RIGHT WING GOVERNMENT MORE INTERESTED IN UPHOLDING AN UNJUST STATUS QUO THAN ACHIEVING TRUE PEACE. GAZA HAS BEEN UNDER BLOCKADE SINCE 2006. THE OCCUPATION OF THE WEST BANK STARTED DECADES BEFORE THAT. THEY'VE ONLY KNOWN AN ISRAEL AT ODDS WITH THEIR BASIC MORALS. Image: Benjamin Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Ayalet Shaked with right wing coalition logos surrounding them. Above them is the word "HaLikud." BACKLASH TO THE STATUS QUO OF JEWISH EDUCATION. I REMEMBER FEELING EXHAUSTED BY HOW THE HOLOCAUST WAS MADE A CENTRAL PART OF MY JEWISH EDUCATION. WHEN JEWISH JOY WAS INCLUDED, IT WAS USUALLY FRAMED AROUND SURVIVAL - MOST OFTEN FROM AN ASHKENAZI PERSPECTIVE. WHERE WAS THE JEWISH JOY THAT CAME FROM WITHIN? WHERE WAS THE BRILLIANT, OFTEN HUMOROUS, TALMUDIC EPHEMERA THAT MADE US SO UNIQUE AS PEOPLE OF SCRIPTURE? WHERE WAS THE MYSTICISM SO CAREFULLY GUARDED BY OUR ANCESTORS? IF ALL WE KNOW IS OPPRESSION, THEN THE SAFEGUARD OF ISRAEL MUST BE DEFENDED AT ALL COSTS. JEWISH YOUTH ARE TAUGHT TO SUPPORT ZIONISM NOT AS A COMPLEX POLITICAL MOVEMENT, BUT AS PART OF THE EXISTENTIAL STRUGGLE AGAINST THE WIDER WORLD'S ANTISEMITISM. SO WHEN THEY LEARN FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT THE NAKBA, AND THE HARSH REALITIES OF LIVING UNDER OCCUPATION, ZIONISM MORPHS FROM A MOVEMENT FOR THE SELF-DETERMINATION OF AN OPPRESSED PEOPLE TO AN OPPRESSIVE, RIGHT WING IDEOLOGY THAT WAS ALWAYS INVESTED IN ETHNIC DISPLACEMENT. Images: Nazis torment religious Jews in the shtetl by mocking them and cutting their beards.

Another illustration combining IWW sabotage propaganda posters with the sub sandwich attack.

It was an easy decision to put a sub sandwich in the "Sabo-Tabby"s mouth. Maybe the cat was just stealing it after it got hurled at the occupying ICE officer, who knows.
A vertical poster that says "Beware" in all black capital letters at the top, with "Liberty or Occupation" in smaller letters below it. Then a black cat with an arched back, extended claws, and puffy tail looks menacingly at the viewer. It has a sub sandwich in its mouth. A red circle is behind it as a backdrop. Below it are the words, "We Never Forget" in red. Below in large black letters is "SUBOTAGE." This poster is the same as the first one, but in black and white.

I am proud to hang this piece in my house. And I am incredibly tickled that the One Giant Frog has become a symbol of righteousness and justice here in Portland. Power to the Frog! Justice, justice shall you pursue!

It came! It came!!
This is a print of @museum.of.emilyk.art ‘s brilliant "Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness), a riff on the Jewish reaction to the Portland resistance frog. Emily’s explanation is pasted in the alt text.
Love it ❤️
Hebrew calligraphy on dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. ーー Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For 7 one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog -even though the rest of the time it says N "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. SN This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.
