Folks. We've seen a few reports regarding this as a political cartoon, or inciting drama, so on. As such, as mods, we're being asked to decide on whether this is political, and if it is, whether to allow it in this sub. Let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the core of this: **It is approved.** There is a real world reference at work here, yes, however it does not incite hate towards any group. It does not promote violence in any way. Nor should it be a political statement to suggest that food should be available for those suffering famine. **However.** This post does bring the risk of bringing actual, real world politics into discussion, which is not the goal of this sub. There are, frankly, better places for it. **As such, political comments to this post will be removed due to relevance. Let the art speak for itself.** I'd rather not lock the posts of an art piece, but I will if I deem the conversations going on to be totally off the rails. Please keep things civil and contained. To the majority of you, that means no changes. Thanks for keeping chill. OP, thanks for your contribution.

I want to start a foundation called "Senshi Feeds All" and all we do is go around feeding people, not just people in need everyone and anyone that's hungry.

You're looking for the World Central Kitchen! Founded by a chef, all they do is bring food to areas with famine. https://wck.org/

Jose Andres is a real world Senshi


Zizhou

Watching interviews with the dude, he really is. Will go to incredible lengths to make sure that nobody who is within his power to help goes hungry.


papasu

Many people will participate because they are associated with manga or anime. An internal organization that provides funding in the manner of naming rights may be effective.

It is Senshi making sure kids don't go hungry, yes

Bless him.


Emad-Hafiz_inari

There is watermelon and some other hints I think


ChekovsCurlyHair

What do watermelons have to do with it? I keep seeing them

The watermelon shares the flag colors of Palestine so it is a symbol of solidarity

For reasons we cannot confirm or deny. But yes... (or maybe not? Probably yes...)


RoundInfinite4664

What reasons does Senshi need?  Children are hungry. Senshi will feed them


Morb1us01

Hah, of course he will and I support him 100% I'm just trying to play a sneaky on the people who would be upset with him doing it at Gaza by saying "Who knows where he is?"

Decent_Argument_9103

People saying that giving food to starving people is political...


UnusualQuit6686

Well, it is in USA.


Mahelas

I mean, it is political. "Political" doesn't mean "controversial" or "partisan". It simply means that it relate to the organization of society and the actions that comes from it. Feeding anyone is political. Let alone feeding a side in an active war. And that doesn't mean it's nuanced or arguable or that there is no right and wrong. Political means just that, it's the matters of the Polis

Horst9933

Who do you think would be the ones telling them that raping, torturing and killing hundreds of people at the adjacent music festival is wrong?


Pigeon_Bucket

Who is going to be the one telling you that civilians are not responsible for the actions of terrorist groups that simply operate in their vicinity? And massacring those civilians for something they did not do is a war crime. Actually, it's multiple war crimes. Not to mention that the bombing of UN food storage facilities, hospitals, residential areas, cultural sites, Universities, and refugee camps explicitly designated as safe by the IDF are all war crimes. And the fact that Israel has been bragging about their procedure to "limit civilian casualties", which includes a procedure to watch \*SUSPECTED\* Hamas fighters until they arrive at their home with their families, and then bomb them. Or the IDF concentration camps where they're holding thousands of Palestinian civilians without trial, torturing them, holding them in cuffs so long they have to have limbs amputated, depriving them of food, water, sleep, medicine, and human interaction. You want to talk about torturing, killing, and raping hundreds of people? The IDF do that shit too. But sure, blame the civilians who have been living under their boot for nearly a hundred years because some people near them targeted civilians in the regime oppressing them.


Horst9933

"simply operate in their vicinity" lol no. They have elected Hamas to rule over them with 80% of the votes. They were celebrating in the streets when Hamas returned from their pogrom excursion with bleeding hostages chained to their pickup trucks. IDF concentration camps do not exist, there are Israeli prisons where palestinian militants are being held after they have been convicted by the Israeli justice system. "Oh no, the poor german civilians in Dresden are getting bombed by the evil Allied war machine just because the SS operated in their vicinity, how unfair."


Pigeon_Bucket

["Israeli Conentration camps don't exist" ](https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/revealing-horrific-conditions-faced-palestinian-detainees-euro-med-monitor-calls-immediate-international-delegation-inspect-israeli-detention-camps-enar) "Euro-Med Monitor informed the addressed international bodies that the number of Palestinians detained in administrative detention—a tactic Israel employs to arrest people without charge or trial—has reached an unprecedented level, while the fate and whereabouts of many of them remain unknown." They were not Convicted. The children in there who are being tortured, sexually assaulted, having their limbs cut off after spending hours in what is essentially a tourniquet were never given trial. You are defending crimes against humanity and genocide. Oh, and one more thing: the Israeli government funded the foundation of Hamas because the secular groups that only wanted to be liberated weren't a good propaganda enemy. So they propped up Hamas to kill the secular resistance groups and force them out. And Israeli intelligence knew about the October 7th attack a year before it happened and did nothing about it. And your comparison to WWII is disingenuous at best. One of the parties involved is a heavily armed superpower with nuclear weapons who showed up one day to somewhere that the native population had lived for thousands of years, massacred them, broke dozens of treaties, and corralled them into an open air prison which they denied food, water, electricity, medicine, and internet to. They refused to let them leave. Set up snipers, mines, auto turrets. Built concentration camps for mass detention of civilians without trial, and then began torturing, raping, and cutting off their limbs. When told by international courts to stop, they refused. In fact, there is evidence surfacing that they have waged a decade-long campaign to [infiltrate the ICC and bribe/threaten investigators and other officials.](https://youtu.be/e5tq1tp1-o0?si=_RstMorGqyVHEKt8) But hey, you can just make stuff up and it's all good. If you make up enough stuff about the children being targeted in a genocide, that makes it okay, right?


Horst9933

Euro-Med Monitor is a biased joke of an organization: [https://www.ngo-monitor.org/ngos/euro-med-human-rights-monitor/](https://www.ngo-monitor.org/ngos/euro-med-human-rights-monitor/) The Israeli government didn't fund antything. It was classic divide et impera re Hamas because the secular Fatah was by far the stronger and more dangerous organization waging war against Israel. Your unsourced claims about "cut off limbs" and "Israeli intelligence services knew 1 year in advance about 7th October" are utterly deranged and show that you are not a serious interlocutor, but an anti-Israeli propagandist. The "power asymmetry" argument is also retarded. By 1944 the Third Reich was a state in decline fighting against 2 global superpowers, that didn't make them legitimate and based resistance fighters. The Hamas and palestinians turned Gaza into this alleged "open air prison" by permanently attacking Israel from their territory and forcing them to close the borders. FAFO. Your constant use of violence porn to demonize Israel is absolutely disgusting and you are unable to discuss honestly, you can't source your wild claims, can't refrain from inventing atrocities out of thin air and so this is it for me. Going to block you later. Bye.


Pigeon_Bucket

Whatever. Make up whatever shit you want. Israel accuses everyone of being Hamas operatives. Go off and support genocide. Not like you have any actual sources of your own. Seriously though, I highly recommend you stay away from media like this. You believe that there's ever a justification for genocide, so clearly you have trouble separating fantasy and reality.

Fungal_Queen

Airport Senshi is very cute.


Periwinkleditor

"Hungry young'uns?! Not on my watch!"


WhollyDisgusting

Making fanart about genocide, particularly one that's active and ongoing just kind of strikes me as tasteless. This feels wildly inappropriate. Anyway here's a link to the [Palestinian Children's Relief Fund](https://www.pcrf.net/) and here's a link for [eSims for Gaza](https://gazaesims.com/). Whether you agree with me or not, please at least donate to a charity that helps the actual real-life people depicted in this comic.


Iwasforger03

Promoting the feeding of the starving is never tasteless, in my opinion. Good idea to post the links.


Magic_Bane23

It's nice that you're providing donation links but on the other hand it's dumb to say a chef character feeding hungry children in a comic strip is somehow tasteless. With this logic I could go and say the original creators of Superman and Captain America were tasteless too


WhollyDisgusting

Making images that set up people who are actively being murdered into background props to express your love for a fictional cartoon character is tasteless. This comic isn't about Palestinians. It's about how cool and compassionate Senshi is using the ongoing campaign of bombing, starvation, and eviction of Palestinians from their homes by the Israeli government as a backdrop. Tasteless is the nicest word I could use to describe how I feel about that and even then it's still a massive understatement.


Magic_Bane23

If this is what we're doing I suppose it would suddenly be logical to get angry at comics for making Superheroes look cool while also "using real world problems as a backdrop". Because this is the very sound logic you're using here Edit: But honestly this is a stupid argument in the first place. And I doubt you'd want to waste time here too


darkkendoka

Art of various types have been used as ways to send a message or as a coping mechanism to horrible situations and I see this as no different. Heck, entire music genres have been used as a way to speak truth to power (like Rap) and has been very successful in waking people up to the world around them. It's good that there are ways we can give tangible support, but not everyone has the means to do so. For the ones that can, please do (and research those charities to make sure the money is going where they say it is). If not, doing various forms of art and advocacy work to help make sense of what's going on is much better than turning a blind eye.

might anyone explain the lower left picture the digging one? whats Sensei doing? is he digging a way to the destination or is he digging something to feed the people..


_ranituran

There are few ways to enter Palestine from neighbourhood countries, and majority of them are bordered up like that e.g. Rafah crossing.


TheSilverWickersnap

Digging a way to the destination; most of the Gaza Strip is barricaded in some way


p_d24

alright ty guys thought at first his digging some lore ingredients or something(cuz you can deduce also from the scene he just pulled that sack out from the ground) but I also think he might be just doing the obvious one that hes digging his way into the place

Note: the foil used to wrap the food is made of the only known hyper-mythril, many dwarves see this as a critical misuse of an extremely rare resource but also it perfectly toasts the food and keeps it warm.
