I saw him and a few others. Then there's people I thought would be outspoken and very much aren't. I don't see Jack Black the same and probably never will. Im referring to Kyle's birthday wish and him then canceling the tour because of it and throwing Kyle under the bus when he was very much cool with it in the moment too. Mark Ruffalo, Danny Devito, Dropkick Murphys, ect are all outspoken and loud about it. Even her Jennifer Lawrence didn't shy away. We need more of this.
To be blunt; the music industry isnt packed full of Jewish publishers, studios or directors.
In the early days of the genocide when that guy used his Oscars speech to condemn israel and the day after there was a petition supporting him; it was very quickly followed by one almost twice the size condemning him.
You can really tell that she knows that what she's saying is meaningless in the face of how awful the genocide is. She means it authentically, but knows words count for little at this point
And David Schumer(Ross Geller) and Sasha Barren Cohen (ah, so many times I got downvoted for saying he's punching down but it was even worse - he was spreading anti-muslim Israpaganda belittle and demeaning).
I give so much credit to Jenkins in the first WW for making her look like she didn't quite suck. I didn't know anything about Gadot back then so tried watching something else she was in but, yeah, she was awful.
She's a bad actress and a worse person. While in the IDF, there's a chance she participated directly in the genocide. By being in the IDF, she 100% participated.
While it is great what she is saying, I just don't want to hear it from actors. They are by definition professional liars. I don't want to see or hear about any actors views. I just can't trust it.
This is my dumb addition here but I think all celebrities should have their butthole exposed on the internet. Maybe that is the only thing that can make them fearless and they'll start speaking truth.
Not to be a cynical butthole but: who cares what Jennifer Lawrence thinks about Palestine? I mean it's nice that she thinks its bad, but, pretty much every actor in Hollywood does.
So? What is your point? Would you be happier if she said some crazy opposite stuff? How much does the celebrity have to do to be even adequate in your eyes?
My point is the poster above me called her "a fucking treasure" over a pretty reasonable opinion that lots of people in her orbit also share, and that the rest of the comments here are all just glazing her as some kind of radical visionary. I mean it's nice to know she's on the right side of history, but I think especially applauding an actor for having a progressive political view is like applauding a bird for flying.
uh oh, she dropped the G word... You know I'm no big fan of celebrities, in fact it makes me sick to have to hear about their lives all the time, almost as much as coming to a site for cat memes and being ambushed by untagged politics in ~30% of my thumbnails... HOWEVER, you gotta respect what she just said. Look what zionist-contaminated Hollywood did to Susan Sarandon for speaking out. Its literally on some "you'll never work in this town again" shit with these parasites. So it does take guts.
I dunno, I mean it's good that she's on the right side of history, I feel like every A list actor in Hollywood has described it thusly. It's not really an uncommon opinion in Hollywood or among creatives generally. It's the news media or politicians saying it that would impress me.
I guess we as a culture just worship celebrities out of principle.
She has effectively been blacklisted from film by filthy zionists. She simply cannot work as an actress anymore in the US. Period. "I was dropped by my agency, my projects were pulled, I've been used as an example of what not to do if you want to continue to work. It became impossible for me to even be on television in the US. Right now, I kind of specialize in tiny films with directors who have never directed, in independent films." They punished her for speaking out against mass-murder.
For those who don't know him, Bassem Youssef is the 'Jon Stewart of Egypt'. He’s highlighting the absurdity of how politicians can manipulate narratives and how extremism looks from the outside. The irony is heavy, but the point is even heavier.
He works quite often with Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo, they have a youtube channel where they discuss middle eastern politics and the political zeitgeists of the west.
It's not a dumb joke about a genocide, and its a widely known quote. Seriously, dude, ground yourself. You're screaming at someone who is correcting you.
i do not care if you, a random moron online, is correcting me. i am explaining to you that this person got yelled at for reciting a stupid joke at a bad time from a show that clearly a lot of people have not seen
"everyone should react the way i want them to" does not scream grounded to me; try yoga?
Just because you know where that quote came from doesn't mean everyone else does. That's kind of egotistical on your part to just assume everyone else has to know everything you know. Nobody pays that much attention to you. The quote was stupid and completely wrong for the context of the post. Let. It. Go.

I do not care for an actors opinion in politics, it should be avoided. But she isn't wrong...

She comes from Kentucky, and was inclined to the center-right until the Trump era began in earnest. Huge props for her growth.

Go to Mark Rufallo with a question about that and he will have very clear words for what is happening in the world right now. Love that guy!

A very graceful, tactful, and heartfelt response, if a smidge too cautious.

And on the other side we have Gal Gadot and her tiny violin. Whining that noone wants to watch her movie because she support genoside.

She was probably planted to hollywood by israel, for whatever propaganda purpose. She didn't get there by her talents.

I'm glad Natalie Portman isn't a zionist, though it feels like she's hedging her bets which isn't a great response with a GENOCIDE going on.

She's been critical of Israeli treatment of Palestinians for over 20 years. She could be being louder, but she's hardly hedging her bets.

Doesn't help that she sucks in virtually every movie she is in too. But shitty people tend to be shitty at most things in life.

It's difficult to believe her when she's still friends with Amy Schumer, the genocide denying zionist.

Jenn is right do not ignore what's happening on the other side of the world cuz it can happen here, and Trump is opening the door for it to happen.
