@AmazonMGMStudio I'm not demanding a specific action β but I am asking Amazon to engage openly: has the interview been reviewed, and what conclusions, if any, have been drawn? Thank you.
@AmazonMGMStudio@AmazonMGMStudio I'm writing as a viewer of The Boys regarding something your team has not yet publicly addressed: the resurfaced 2016 Ynet interview with cast member Tomer Capone, in which he described participating in IDF night raids on Palestinian homes.
@AmazonMGMStudio The Boys is a show Amazon has marketed on the basis of moral seriousness and political courage. Many viewers feel that institutional silence on this story is itself a statement.
@AmazonMGMStudio Soldiers quoted in that report described raids carried out for "practice," with one explicitly stating the goal was to make Palestinians "feel persecuted." Capone's own account appears consistent with this documented pattern.
@AmazonMGMStudio The broader context is well-documented. Breaking the Silence, B'Tselem & Yesh Din β in a joint report titled "A Life Exposed" β compiled testimony from Palestinian families and IDF soldiers describing these raids as a systematic tool of psychological control.
@AmazonMGMStudio I want to be measured here. The English quote circulating is from a Google-translated screenshot. What appears established is: the Ynet interview took place, Capone described raids and the forcible detention of a young Palestinian woman, and neither he nor Amazon has disputed it.
@TheBoysTV@therealKripke The Boys has always asked its audience to look at uncomfortable things honestly. I hope the people behind it are willing to do the same. With respect and genuine curiosity.
@TheBoysTV Hi @therealKripke β I'm writing as a longtime viewer of The Boys, a show I've admired for its willingness to hold power to account. That's exactly what makes the following concern worth raising with you directly.
@TheBoysTV@therealKripke I'm not demanding a specific outcome. But I am asking: does the tension between the show's values and this documented record warrant a public word from you β not necessarily about Tomer personally, but about the contradiction itself?
@TheBoysTV@therealKripke The context is documented. Breaking the Silence, B'Tselem & Yesh Din have compiled extensive testimony describing these raids as systematic β soldiers themselves described raids done for "practice," designed to make Palestinians "feel persecuted."
@TheBoysTV@therealKripke The circulating quote comes from a Google-translated screenshot, so I'm being careful about the exact wording. But multiple outlets have reported the interview as genuine, and neither Tomer nor Amazon has disputed its existence.
@TheBoysTV@therealKripke A 2016 interview Tomer Capone gave to Israeli outlet Ynet has resurfaced this week. He reportedly described participating in IDF night raids on Palestinian homes, including the forcible removal of an 18-year-old woman against her family's resistance.

Proud fascist Bezalel Smotrich is very pleased with how Netanyahu's speech went and how he was received in Congress.
Democrats who attended and applauded - hang your heads in shame.
Kamala "skipping" Netanyahu's address, but meeting him privately while she and her staff resolutely affirm her commitment to the Biden/Harris approach of full-bore "support" for Israel, is a good early example of meaningless political gestures that reinforce the policy status quo
Hereβs what members of Congress will be applauding when they clap like lapdogs for Benjamin Netanyahu:
The UN damned Israel as guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and violations of international human humanitarian and human rights laws. Israel is guilty of:
Extermination
Intentionally targeting civilians
Murder
Using starvation as a method of war
Forcible transfer
Gender persecution targeting Palestinian men and boys
Sexual and gender-based violence amounting to torture
Cruel or inhumane treatment
It should come as no surprise that the politicians of the most violent nation on Earth by every metric will applaud Israelβs genocidal barbarism
