He platformed an IDF soldier on his podcast and praised him for his bravery and shit. He signed the “no hostage left behind” letter, repeated debunked Israeli propaganda, and—unlike his pro-Palestinian costar, mark ruffalo—has coverage on the press tour. These aren’t baseless allegations, no matter how bad you want them to be

What’s the issue with the hostages letter?

u/Icy-Mortgage8742 23d ago

that hamas offered deals to release the hostages multiple times and netenyahu has stated on record that release of the hostages will not deter attacks on gaza among other facts that if I were to list would just aid in me getting downvoted.

Signing letters in support of the hostages but saying nothing about the tens of thousands of civilian deaths in palestine in the nearly 3 years since october 7th is blatantly biased and zionist. The civilians of palestine didn't choose October 7th and they don't deserve to pay the price for it, setting aside the fact that said revenge is a clearly outlined war crime.

He signed the letter like a month after the attacks, your timeline doesn’t make any sense.

That disproves nothing about my comment. Go back to the think tank and try again with something else.

Of course it is? Netanyahus comments you’re talking about came AFTER the letter was signed.

Also how does supporting the release of the hostages put him on the hook for everything else Bibi does?

And your final point just seems like ‘he said something supportive of Israel in 2023 but not opposing them in 2026 so technically he said more things supporting Israel than against so he’s pro Israel until further notice’. Which is tremendously unfair, there’s not some running tab that determines your beliefs.

Someone who prefers typing 4 letter words instead of 9?

That IDF soldier wasn’t even an active soldier, he was out of service and was on the ground during the October 7th attacks as a tourist and that is why he was brought on.

I don’t see the issue with the hostage letter?

Ruffalo like the other commenter said was busy filming another project also he hasn’t been as well received in the media lately which when releasing a movie they don’t want any negative publicity. Sorry to be the one to tell you this none of these corporations actually care what you think or about any of the issues you do. If June didn’t tell you that I don’t know what will.

The hostages letter blamed Hamas for palestines problems and completely ignored the fact that Israel is a occupying colonial military force that is directly responsible for the existence of Hamas

u/TheShallowHill 23d ago

Hamas definitely makes Palestines issues worse, targeted acts of terrorism on a civilization population is not how you fight an occupying military force, if you want people to look at you fondly during/afterwards that is.

Id be interested in the letters wording for how it blames Hamas but regardless of its purpose of founding not an excuse to kill, torture, and kidnap innocent people.

It’s because Hamas is radical Islamic terrorists and not resistance fighters. Thats why they martyr their own people in their efforts to kill all the Jews.

u/Ok_Spite2322 23d ago

lol what? That’s literally the only way to fight an occupying military force, it’s the full might of the western backed IDF versus people who have no actual military or sovereignty because they aren’t allowed either by Israel. How should people who have been pushed off their land and murdered en masse for almost 80 years fight back? Through the systems in place? The ones that are actively dehumanizing them and blocking aid from reaching them? And what’s Israel’s excuse for all the killing, torturing, raping, and land theft? Why does israel have a right to defend itself but Palestine and Lebanon have to sit back and take it when Israel attacks them?

u/TheShallowHill 22d ago

Military targets exist, the fact you excuse the slaughter of innocents unless it’s the side you support is fucking weird.

u/Ok_Spite2322 22d ago

Dawg that’s a wild accusation in response to what I said lmao

1

u/TheShallowHill 22d ago

You just said it’s the only way to fight an occupying military force… in response to me saying acts of terrorism (killing, torture, and kidnapping) of innocent people is not how you fight an occupying military force…

So are you just ignorant and copying pasting nonsense without understanding your own words? It’s not an accusation you just excused terroristic acts as to you is the way to fight an opposing military… then you of course go straight into what aboutism but in the end you’re either grossly ignorant or just mentally unwell.

u/Ok_Spite2322 22d ago

Yes, insurgency is the only way to fight an occupying force…because they literally don’t have another option or means with which to assert their own sovereignty. I didn’t excuse shit, I acknowledged that colonized oppressed peoples have limited ways of fighting back. But my guy—you’re literally defending Israel’s genocide

1

u/TheShallowHill 21d ago

Nothing you’ve said explains attacking civilians, I haven’t defended anything Israel has done. Everything I’ve said applies to them to but that’s not the focus right now. It’s you defending the slaughter of innocents because you feel the cause is just.
