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.
Turkey just issued arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
The ICC issued arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Palestine said Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The ICJ ordered Israel to withdraw from Palestinian territories.
Three years of genocide and over 500 war crimes in Gaza alone—dozens of other war crimes in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and beyond—killing 100,000 people in 1,000 days; yet, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights chose silence to shield Netanyahu.
“I’m not talking because every time I talk, blood comes out of my mouth and makes my dress dirty, and I don’t want my mom to have to clean it.”
Hind Rajab’s last words to the paramedics she was on the phone with before Israeli soldiers pumped 355 bullets into the car she was in.
So was after my 3rd watch i noticed that the trees in this scene were moving there by stopping Odysseus and his crew from escaping, are the Laestrygonians also magicians?
After watching Oppenheimer and The Odyssey you can tell Nolan has a lot of existential dread about the state of humanity and how we treat each other. Real.
