Had to go looking, but I found the image this comment is in reaction to.

It’s a cartoon from “Liberation” newspaper in france, and the caption is “Ramadan in Gaza” (published just after the hunanitarian aid blockade and famine crisis started in Gaza, for which Israel is now being accused as an act of genocide)
The woman in a hijab is slapping the hand of an emaciated Gazan chasing after a rat, presumably to catch and eat it, and saying “Not before sunset”
It’s a pretty openly Islamophobic joke about Gazan’s starving during the month of Ramadan where muslims traditionally fast from sunrise to sunset.
I don’t think it should need to be said, but even orthodox Muslims recognize exceptions to fasting during ramadan for starvation and bodily injury.
