The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
He’s not Muslim. He’s Christian. He’s not brown. He’s white. He’s also pro-Israel.
He killed people. A mass shooter. Terrorist.

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan took another opportunity at Egypt’s pre-match press conference to double down on his solidarity with Palestine saying “anyone not in solidarity with Palestine doesn’t deserve to live or be human”
🚨🇩🇪 A German fan sent this message to Australian player Lucas Herrington, 18, after he missed his penalty against Egypt yesterday. 👏
✍️ "Dear Lucas Herrington,
If you ever read this: 31-year-old Champions League winner Leon Goretzka, who plays for Bayern — six-time Champions League winners — and Germany — four-time World Cup winners — didn’t dare take a penalty for his country when they needed him.
You did it at 18. You are so brave and a hero in our eyes." ❤️
