I think that's Space Jews. Next time please use the lost and found
if you're looking for a trope
Animal Stereotypes crossed with National Stereotypes might also work. See their use on Maus

How bad is it that I can instantly tell which comic you're talking about?
Yeah, Naylor's pretty blatant about the race/species thing. For added fun, in a short-lived side project of his, he had the equivalent of black slaves portrayed by...raccoons. Bonus points for figuring out why THAT had some Unfortunate Implications...
Also, this kind of question goes on Lost And Found.
In a furry webcomic I'm reading right now, characters' species is used to indicate their nationality, religion, etc. For example hyenas are black, mice are Jewish, and rabbits are Catholic. Is there a trope for this sort of thing?
