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.

WWE creative has to figure something out!
Civil War is a perfect litmus test of how you are as a person. If you’re Team Iron Man, you’re an emotional, naive and impulsive person who cannot step back and look at the bigger picture. And ironically, that is exactly who Tony was.
Maturity is realising Steve was absolutely right. He understood what the Accords could eventually mean for the Avengers. He looked at the bigger picture. And that’s why every member of Team Iron Man who stood against Steve eventually realised he was right.
Tony realised he was wrong and came back to help Steve. Rhodey backed Steve against Ross in Infinity War. Black Panther realised he was fighting the wrong battle and helped Steve and Bucky. Natasha called out Tony and helped Steve. Vision also understood Steve’s position and called him for help in Infinity War.
Cap was right. And Mjolnir choosing him in Endgame was the perfect punctuation mark.
