Israel is committing genocide. Over 73% of Israel is Jewish containing over 45% of the world's Jewish population. The next highest population of Jewish citizens is the United States with over 39% of the world's Jewish population. The next highest country is under 4% of the world's Jewish population.

Not I nor the comic are claiming that Israel represents the collective whole of Judaism. Also, in 2018, Israel passed a law which specifies the nature of the State of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.

I reiterate, the comic is merely describing the people committing the genocide. According to the numbers, even as secular as the IDF is, nearly 3 out of 4 soldiers is Jewish.

Judaism may not be related to the genocide, but it is impossible not to associate Israel and Judaism, based on global census and Israel's own laws.
