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.
An entire city was built upon the corpses and skulls of Palestinians, while those who committed genocide play and enjoy themselves today on a beach they stole through murder and bloodshed.
🚨 BREAKING:
French MP Panot:
“Netanyahu is annexing southern Lebanon, colonizing the West Bank, and carrying out genocide in Gaza.
What is France doing? Nothing.
Yet it has imposed 19 rounds of sanctions on Putin. This double standard is a scandal.”
🇮🇱🇺🇸 Netanyahu got caught on tape working to kill his own war crimes warrant
The New York Times reviewed recorded calls from October 2024 where Netanyahu and the late Senator Lindsey Graham cooked up a plan to stall the ICC arrest warrant closing in on him.
The move was to weaponize sexual misconduct allegations against ICC prosecutor Karim Khan. Netanyahu called it "the great cloud" that could justify pausing everything, telling Graham the stain "has to be removed" and pushing him to get senators to send a letter.
On a second call that day Graham said "we got them both," meaning Democrats Blumenthal and Cardin were on board, then joked, "pay me for all this."
The letter went out November 1. It didn't work, and the ICC issued the warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant three weeks later.
The twist is that Khan was actually forced out as prosecutor last week over those same allegations, so the cloud they wanted finally did the job, just a year too late.

If this were Iran, the world would be calling it oppression.
German police brutally assaulted a peaceful pro-Palestine woman.
Horrific scenes, and they are doing this on behalf of Israel.
Around 20 British and Irish public figures, including former English football star and broadcaster Gary Lineker, Irish actress Nicola Coughlan known for Bridgerton and Derry Girls, as well as Paloma Faith, Emma Atkins, and Alfred Enoch, have joined the “Scholarships for Gaza” campaign.
Organised by educational charity Phoenix Space, the initiative raises funds through a celebrity auction to support Palestinian students from Gaza who have received offers from UK universities but cannot leave the Strip without fully funded scholarships covering tuition fees and living expenses.
🇺🇸🇵🇸 Oscar-winning American actor Ben Affleck on his mother:
"The central cause of her life was the suffering and injustice caused to the Palestinian people"
Half the country thinks Netanyahu should be arrested when he's in US. Only a quarter think he shouldn't. Yet, 100% of anchors on TV think it's an outrageous idea. What a coincidence that everyone in national media is against what Americans think and in favor of what Israel wants.
Everyone needs to hear this.
The UN didn't print the names of Palestinian children murdered by Israel.
Why?
Because they feared Israel would respond by murdering their families.
Israel is a threat to everyone on earth.
My response to Ariel Helwani -The entire fight week you chastised Sean and made it a point to talk about how he went “too far” how you didn’t agree with what he was saying in the press conferences and now you’re upset he apologized? Being a man is also taking accountability for what you say when you’re wrong and Sean is man enough to do that and he did it on a world stage. In a time when we need less division ESPECIALLY with the HUMAN RIGHTS CRISIS going on between Israel and Palestine wouldn’t you want to see two people of separate beliefs and religion come together and make amends? And now you make a joke of it? And let’s not forget, things were said on both sides and in the end all you saw was love and respect between Sean and Khamzat. Two absolute warriors making peace after one of the biggest blood wars in the last decade … weird hill to die on Ariel.
