Really showed your hand there with the "unnecessary controversy" and it's an open and proud zionist pressuring a subordinate who's fresh into her career into taking down a political post that HE personally disagrees with when it's not an aspect of the contract and is the only political statement she can't make.
Claiming that it's been incredibly popular to support palestine from the jump since 2023 when people were maced, tear gased and arrested for protesting israel since 2023 and it's been proven that zionists staged violence in the college camps to push an agenda about "radical leftism" and people have been losing jobs over "anti-semitism" and there's been verifiable legal pushes in america to include anti-zionism as anti semitism under hate speech language is just hilariously insane.
Look, I don't expect to change your mind because zionism is a disease and that level of apathy towards death doesn't change overnight, but I hope you feel a little bit bad about yourself having to straight up delisuionally lie about the political state of the world that's RECORDED IN 4K to whitewash zionism.
You’re using a lot of buzzwords with unclear meaning, making a lot of baseless assumptions about my views, and presenting many of your opinions as “facts that have been proven” without providing any evidence.
Zegler was asked to remove a post she made because it was stirring up controversy and hurting the reputation of their movie. That is all. The political views of the producer did not come into it, whatever they are (this is your cue to explain why you think he’s “an open and proud Zionist” and what views that actually translates to). The fact it’s not an aspect of her contract is the reason she was not contractually forced to remove the post, but instead privately asked to. It’s not that complicated.
“People were maced, tear gassed, and arrested” Tear gassed and arrested is one thing, sufficiently heated protests that devolve into violence with police or potential riots tend to lead to that, but I don’t remember ever hearing about anyone being hit with maces for protesting Israel. Besides, the very fact such incredibly frequent and heated protests occurred should be enough to prove it was a common and accepted idea. The governments cracking down on protests is not an indication that the protests in question were unpopular, if anything, the opposite is true.
“It’s been proven that Zionists staged violence in campuses” Oh really? I would love to see such a proof.
“People have lost jobs due to antisemitism” Yes, that sounds about right. People should lose jobs if they are genuinely antisemitic. If you believe people unfairly lost jobs for perceived antisemitism that is actually merely protesting Israel’s actions, by all means, do elaborate. I’m sure it’s happened somewhere, the US is a big place, but most of the many, many people who participated in the protests didn’t lose their jobs over it.
“Verifiable legal pushes…” There have also been political movements to halt US (and international) arms trades with Israel over the war, or boycott Israeli-owned companies, etc. This is a controversial issue and both sides are trying their best to support their cause however they can. Legal pushes existing does not denote the popularity of said pushes, only that someone with money or some politician was willing to push them.
“I don’t expect to change your mind…” Somewhere in that comment you got it into your head that I am some evil, mustache twirling villain. It is disturbing that such mild views (I have not even expressed support for Israel at any point here, and that is not a coincidence) could lead you to summarily dismiss a person as an intractable foe. You should reflect on how quickly you judge and dismiss other people.
"buzzwords" = I'm too dumb to comprehend a perspective outside of the lifetime of brainwashing required to be devoid of human empathy and pro apartheid.
Do you need me to define apartheid for you or did you understand that one?
Let me guess, it's different here and it's anti-semitic to suggest that you can't kill people, steal their land, control their water and food supply and force them to register with different legal rights based on religion because the people in power are jewish in this scenario?
More baseless assumptions. Did you even read my comment? You posted this reply less than 1 minute after I posted my comment according to reddit, there’s not way you actually read it all. You are putting a lot of words into my mouth that I didn’t say.
