A map of Gaza made up of various styles of Hebrew text. Around the border of the piece is the English translation of the Hebrew. On the bottom right is my signature, in the form of olive branches. The text is in blue, green, red, and black. -- Maimonides states “there is no greater mitzvah than the redemption of captives.” And who are the captives? They are the Palestinians in Gaza, held hostage by foreign powers and by their own government, who has not had elections since they came to power. They’re held hostage by an Israeli government that has empowered that government holding them hostage and has not tried to redeem them. Then there are the Israeli civilian hostages taken into Gaza by terrorists. The blue letters in the main territory represent each of those people, with the letters taken from their names. The calligraphic representations of the name of God (YHVH is not here) are also blue, to represent anyone else not accounted for. The colors come from both the Palestine and Israel flags. In black are the borders of the blockade. In red, the translations of the verses calling for the redemption of captives. In the cursive writing is the verse of Amos, “let justice well up like waters.” The only just end to this war is a redemption of both Israeli AND Palestinian captives. Put redemption is as intertwined as the letters making up the territory. There is no peace for either of us until there is peace for both of us.

Closeup of the print, showing in greater detail my signature. It is made of olive branches and says "Seek not vengeance and bear no grudges - love peace and pursue peace," in Hebrew and English. It is in green and blue. Red text is around the edge: "Do not harden your heart or close your hand, do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor, One shall not oppress them with exhausting work in your presence."

Close up of the blue and green Hebrew text that makes up the land of Gaza. Around it, stylized like barbed wire, is additional Hebrew text. Part of the sea blockade border can be seen, in block Hebrew. Red English text cuts through it.

"No Greater Mitzvah"

This work is a stylized map of Gaza, under siege and blockade by Israel and Egypt for almost 2 decades. The title refers to Maimonides’ insistence that “there is no greater mitzvah than the redemption of captives.” More in alt text.

Color comic with multiple panels. Pepe the Frog, a lanky frog with a stoner expression on his face - but somewhat sad - walks away from a burning pile of 4chan logos and "Kek"s. He sees some commotion and perks up. In the next panel, he's shocked at the sight of dancing frogs, a la the Portland Frog inflatable costume protesters. One frog notices him, and reaches for his hand. The final panel shows the frog leading Pepe by the hand to the other dancing protesting frogs. The frog says "Frogs together strong," and Pepe says "feels good, man."

I've been thinking about Matt Furie a lot during this period of political frog realignment, so I made this comic dedicated to him.

Hebrew calligraphy in 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. -- 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 one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "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. 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.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

A regime with mass approval and a majority votes, even when falling out of popularity, does not constantly need to deploy its military upon its own people to keep them in line: I am begging people to look critically at what is happening. WE ARE NOT COOKED.

Many of you are falling for it. Americans saying “we’re cooked because everyone is complying and no one is panicking!” People outside saying “Americans want this, they support this”. Ask yourself, “who does this narrative support?” Because, If this were true, then why do they need military support?

Many of you, outside of America and internally, are being propagandized. Authoritarians MUST create the illusion of control so that dissenters comply in advance. A vast majority of Americans are actively dissenting, and refusing to comply. So the illusion needed is one of mass support…

As an American, I have a question for Canadians, Europeans and people in the UK. Many of you believe that Americans support this regime and we all voted for this. If that’s the case, then why is it that Trump is constantly in need of deploying troops into our major cities?
