This is not anti-anything in my opinion.
It depicts the United States, lead by doofus in charge, forking cash to Israel in order to get them to stop massacring Palestinians and find some sort of peace agreement.
Using the star is just like using a cross to signify Christianity. It signifies a group. The star is on the flag so really there is no difference unless you want to make it one.
Cartoons are meant to generalize an entire event into one picture. The artist also wants everyone that looks at it to know right away what it has to do with, even if they only have a small amount of knowledge of the event.
If there was a cross on a guys shirt directing a young boy into a dark room while looking over his shoulder would that be anti-Christian? No, it is depicting current events.
Playing the racism card or the anti-this/that card is used to make an argument invalid. No one wants to be a racist so they leave the problem alone. It also generalizes the problems so that when a real issue of racism occurs everyone just pushes it aside as another one of those race issues.
