And yet Ruffalo didn’t talk about Jews at all. He talked about Ellison and Paramount and Oracle. That you and many others made this about Jews and antisemitism is ‘the biggest tell’ that you’re bad faith actors.
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.
I renew my appeal for an end to the ongoing violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank, and I urgently call on the international community to work toward advancing the two-state solution, for a just and lasting peace.
I can have empathy for anybody having a serious mental health crisis. But let's not forget that Perez Hilton made loads of money by being an online Celeb blogger who made being nasty his trademark. He loved OUTING celebs against their will (SEE ARTICLE BELOW). After actor Heath
Extremely disappointing.
There is no hope of ending homelessness if we do not stand up to vested interests and take action against extortionate private rents.
We need rent controls, and we need them now.
A UN commission has found that Israel is committing genocide through a "deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children".
The truth always comes out in the end — and we must never, ever let it be forgotten.
My dear friend is no doubt about to blow our collective mind with Digger. What an undeniably spectacular career. What a bold and wild next step. Only seen a taste of the film… cannot wait for October to see the rest!
I was meant to meet Hasan in person, until our government banned him from entering the UK.
We met online instead to talk about the repression of Palestinian solidarity — and why we will never stop speaking out against genocide and apartheid.
