Context: this is not some random pirate but Barmaley the river pirate, from a Russian children’s book written in 1925. An earlier strip claimed that he “ate children” (in the actual story he didn’t, merely threatened to), was swallowed by a crocodile, promised never to eat children again (actually just promised to be nicer) and was spat out. Like Koschei the Deathless, Baba Yaga, and Tiangou, this “sounds Jewish”. In a later strip, Barmaley joins up with the fairy tale monsters who demand the right to kidnap children and do other bad things because they didn’t ask to be created Jewish.
I mean, it doesn’t make it any better or make any more sense in context, but you know, it’s Tats.
My physician is originally from Uganda: forced out of that country when he was younger and his parents - who were in the medical profession - went to another in the 1970s: Britain. He followed the family tradition and became a doctor: the woman he married is a dispenser at a branch of a chain of chemists shops, their son is a dentist and their daughter is studying Neurosurgery. Ancestry-wise, he’s from what would be pre-partition Pakistan, and they are all Muslims. He ensured an operation I had years ago to have a benign tumour removed from my rectal wall was completely painless as he was the anaesthesiologist.
The fact that Don Old Fart has admitted - nary 24 hours ago - that his entire immigration policy was wrong is the least of your problems, Tatty.
I could imagine Ishida needing his "comics" to "make the day"... "I didn't do anything good today... damned Jews!"; "Did I just fucking step on bubble gum?! Damned Jews!"; "Why am I such a pathetic loser? Oh yes, the Jews, of course!"; "I can't have a more interesting job... because the Jews stole all the jobs!"; "Another tsunami... [...]"...

“I got a virus on my computer? JEWISH HACKERS!!”
“My flight is three hours delayed? JEEEEWWS!!!”
“I got a parking ticket?? Can’t the Jews bother someone ELSE for a change????”
“A stray cat got into my living room and peed on the floor! Now the Jews are picking on me just for the hell of it!!!”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
