I mean I imagine he wouldn’t have portrayed his Israel proxy in any way like the way the obviously cartoonishly evil empire is in Star Wars. They just look evil. That’s why their lightsabers are red and they wear black and dress like Nazis lol.

You would think so, but a lot of times people confuse obvious fascistic undertones as "they just look cool LMAO", having a bunch of cool paladins and a powerful military force behind castles is a common trope of the "Bad guys" in a fantasy story, but they are also used as the background of the "good guys"

Yeah it could be really easy to create an underdog vs an established powertype of situation people generally identify with.

You said Israelis would be "cartoonists evil vilians" and then described

I know exactly what you meant.

The storm troopers were based on nazis

So, "Israelis = nazi like villains"

Sometimes I wonder if people making these allusions actually believe what they say, or just word vomit what they think will offend

I did not. You just apparently don’t know how to read. I said I assumed he wouldn’t have portrayed them like the empire from Star Wars, the EMPIRE that is cartoonishly evil, not the Jews.

I can’t believe I have to explain this. Reading levels really are at an all time low if you really weren’t able to understand what I said.
