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.
As my friend Wehliye says, it is really sad that MPs are openly admitting they were bribed to impeach Rigathi Gachagua & so-called independent constitutional institutions like @DCI_Kenya & @EACCKenya are nibbling their thumbs! In civilized countries, such MPs would have had their careers end in in ignominy in Federal Prison! It is only in Kenya where political leaders admit to committing crimes & violation of the Constitution & tell to our face:
MTA DO???
Let the MPs know that one day, their day for reckoning will come! History doesn’t forget. Time doesn’t lapse.
Not a single person has been held accountable for their participation in genocide.
Meanwhile, opponents of genocide are sentenced as terrorists.
What kind of dystopian world are we living in? This absurdity must end. De-proscribe Palestine Action, now.
BREAKING!
Armed Israelis are escalating DEADLY assaults against defenseless Palestinians in the West Bank!
They have reportedly just shot in cold blood five men in Tal village and Far'ata/Qalqilya.
Their leaders openly talk of #Gazification
THESE CRIMINALS MUST BE STOPPED!
The lack of news on Gaza isn’t because the genocide is over.
It’s because Israel slaughtered the journalists and Western media pretends there’s a ceasefire.
Everyone felt sad for the penguin walking alone and the monkey rejected by his mother. But this video is far more heartbreaking, yet it didn’t receive the same attention.
Today, Israel killed a pregnant mother carrying twins alongside her two children, Hamza and Naya, in artillery shelling that struck a home in northern Gaza.
At least four children are among the 14 people killed across Gaza since Friday morning.

A Palestinian man was shot in the head today while riding his bicycle, reportedly by Israeli forces.
He was known in his community for feeding cats every day.
We don't hate them enough.
