I can't say I'm upset at Berkeley Breathed, just disappointed.  I am no longer supised by the anti-Israel sentiment (notice I do not say anti-Semitic) that I find anywhere in the media among people with left-leaning views, even in comic strips.  I also understand that the Israeli character is just one of many people/things that Opus needs to be fearful of (why?) and that the cartoon is still very funny.

I guess the cartoonist could be putting Opus in the place of Palestinians/Arabs, but I never took the character to be anything other than a lampoon of purely American sentiment and culture, so It's still disappointing.   If he's just generalizing that all the actors in the Middle East are frightening to Americans, it's still disappointing.
