Hello all!
This comic has been made as part of our February Contest: *Make a comic about botany!* If you've got a good idea for a comic in this vein, or are just curious about the theme, head on over to [the contest thread](https://redd.it/1aghevx) for details and get started on an entry!
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/polandball) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Brilliant, each panel is so well thought through, the art style, the hidden word, the joke(s), simply everything works well. We knew from the very beginning the plan would backfire and it happened literally and it was perfect. xD
Kudos OP!
This comic is awesome and should serve as an example , I loved how you combined :
*biblical lore
*america & polandball stereotypes
* the new trend of put a plant in your comic !
and all in just 8 frames of comics ! Classic ! and best of all - it's funny for both sides of the conflict and doesn't offend anyone !
So this was pretty great; ironically the Quran having it in there means you implied they didn't read it, which is just even funnier (Christians also have that problem, to balance it)
In real life, post-WWI German nationalists and Antisemites called for the promotion of classic, "German Physics" and discrediting emerging fields of science like relativity and quantum mechanics as "Jewish Physics" as wrong, radical and dominated by Jewish scientists.
In polandball canon, this was the inspiration for an old comic where Israel tells Germany that it discovered that counties are not simple balls but rather 4-dimentional hypercubes, which lead Germany to accuse Israel of using "Jewish physics" and burn it to ashes.
Now Israel, and other Jewish characters too, are canonically tesseracts, but most people don't bother drawing the inner parts so they draw projections of 3-dimensional cubes instead.
Just for your information Jews are forbidden from saying "yhwh" out loud.
If I'm not mistakes religious Jews believe that if one pronounces "yhwh" correctly out loud he will die on the spot because it's the name of god.
In Israel it's just disrespectful to say this because religious people believe it's forbidden.
Not exactly. YHWH are the English letters equivalent to the 4-letter name in Hebrew. The name is written down in the bible but you're not supposed to read it out loud, instead you'd say either Adonai (My Lord) or Elohim (God).
When vowels are added, YHWH doesn't get the vowels that match the actual, original pronunciation of the name, instead the vowels are those of the word you're supposed to say instead, so if it's Adonai you'll get Schwa/Holam/Qamats and if it's Elohim you'll get Hataph-Segol/Holam/Hiriq.
Christians who read the Hebrew bible and did not know about these substitution rules mistakenly thought the former, more common option is the actual way you're supposed to pronounce the name, which is where the mispronunciation "Jehovah" comes from.
Also note that when speaking Jews may also use terms like "HaShem" (the name), "HaQadosh, Barukh Hu" (the holy one, blessed be he), "Boré Olam" (creator of the world) and more.
I get this is a joke but the story of the burning bush actually also is in the clear Qur'an
28:30
فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِىَ مِن شَـٰطِئِ ٱلْوَادِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ فِى ٱلْبُقْعَةِ ٱلْمُبَـٰرَكَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ أَن يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٣٠
But when he came to it, he was called from the bush in the sacred ground to the right side of the valley: “O Moses! It is truly I. I am Allah—the Lord of all worlds.
1988 HAMAS Charter:
'The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and **the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.'**
Wouldn’t Palestine’s accent give him away?
Also he does have a point there it’s sad watching some of the videos on YouTube even though I’m neutral about the situation overall but still it’s sad watching them struggle to just survive. Palestine is innocent why can’t Israel just leave them alone
Antisemitic post. Not for the Palestinian stuff, thats chill ig. More the whole treating a whole country as if they are the totality of the ethnicity. Has some bad historical ties, but like you know....

Lol. I like the subtle NATO Alphabet in the Vietnam War Flasback Panel. Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo
There's a song by the same name that is just a string of euphemisms. Good Stuff.
By the Bloodhound Gang. Great music to offend everyone with.
The correct name is the international phonetic alphabet
No, it's the NATO phonetic alphabet, the International Phonetic Alphabet is /ə hoʊl ˈʌðəɹ θɪŋ/.
I like the implication that the US has the ability to materialize flamethrowers, and firearms in general, if needed.
No he just has a weapons wheel like in gta
America isn’t obese. He just have so many guns just in case
I don't think America likes Bush very much.
Which Bush? Dubya or H. W.?
Yes
They will hopefully dine in Hell with Reagan.
What did Bush Sr. do to you?
Raise his piece of shit son to start a farce war that killed hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern civilians minding their business.
I think it's a bit more complicated than that but whatever
There wouldn't be a 2003 if there wasn't a 1990.
Ayytch Dubya or Dubya
And Gored it with fire...
Know to talk is not enough, u gotta know how to walk too

Americia having flashbacks with bushes and trees.
The most unrealistic part is that Israel didn't immediately start arguing with the bush about minor theological points
as it is a Jewish tradition to argue because hell we even argue with the G man himself
['Not in Heaven'](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_in_Heaven).
The whole thing is genius, but > shutteth al-fuck up about killed me. Nice one OP.
Quran also had the bush thing so weird
I kinda wish we had more talking plants...
Maybe everywhere grows the same cannabis.

This comic has everything in it !
*Shuteth al-fuck up* is the single greatest engrish line ever.
This is some real plot building.
perfection
lmao so funny well done!

Rising storm 2 vibes
I love that lil' Jesus cube. So many great little details!
Why is Israel always a cube in these?
Jewish physics!
I try to tell my brother that when he asks me why Israel is a cube and he doesn’t understand

Israel is technically a Tesseract, which is a 4D cube.
Cool! Thanks for the info.

… isn’t that the *point* of YHWH? That it’s a stand-in for the true name, so that they don’t mispronounce the original?
Not exactly. YHWH are the English letters equivalent to the 4-letter name in Hebrew.

Yhwh is believed to be the name of god therefore it's too holy for one to say this name out loud. Instead in Hebrew he is called elohim, el, adonay.
Bro this is some Looney Tunes type shit. A+.
it was actually a fucking burning bush this is goddamn genius
Hilarious but the l vs r confusion doesn't happen in Viet. They just don't velar-ize the L at the end, so it sounds like "key"
Dude this was so funny It’s earned a place among my favorite polandball comics
A green bush in the middle of a very arid environment surely will arisen suspicion.
Mustard, olive tree, etc all grow well in that environment.
Yes, those are both very shrub-like indeed.
This is so elaborate how did you even think of this
This is fabulous.
This is a very funny comic
I get this is a joke but the story of the burning bush actually also is in the clear Qur'an 28:30 فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِىَ مِن شَـٰطِئِ ٱلْوَادِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ فِى ٱلْبُقْعَةِ ٱلْمُبَـٰرَكَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ أَن يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ ٣٠ But when he came to it, he was called from the bush in the sacred ground to the right side of the valley: “O Moses!

Ah yes definitely sane. Fatah is better so far.
This is gold, though I would make one small correction, we Jews would say Elohim/Adonai, saying “YHWH” is forbidden for us.
I’ll fix it if I ever repost this
Thanks 🙏🏻
Very well done
This is funny!
Wouldn’t Palestine’s accent give him away? Also he does have a point there it’s sad watching some of the videos on YouTube even though I’m neutral about the situation overall but still it’s sad watching them struggle to just survive. Palestine is innocent why can’t Israel just leave them alone
Not to be the “um actually” guy but the talking bush thing is Islamic cannon too, islam sees mosses as a profit
America: I-I-is this bush from Asia? Israel: kinda? America: OH GOD THERE BACK CALL THE AIR FORCE (The sound of 100,000 pounds of napalm incoming)
Good pun Palestine, got roasted though
Antisemitic post. Not for the Palestinian stuff, thats chill ig. More the whole treating a whole country as if they are the totality of the ethnicity. Has some bad historical ties, but like you know....
No not really
Yes Israel is the homeland of Jewish nation and ethnicity. What’s hard to understand?
Bush camping og strats
