@nuvaue (even though I doubt he paid for much of anything but that’s besides the point), but Israel is not made up of one kind of people who share the same values (even if the govt wants that to be the case.)
@nuvaue a part of the heritage. You or I may have no desire to go there, but the religious importance of that place differs for everyone, especially someone with an Israeli ancestry like Noah. Yes, in a macro sense, him being there monetarily benefits Israel+
@daiisieslillies @firstqrince @noah_schnapp I mean I think “active role” is a stretch, but regardless, sure it obviously shouldn’t necessarily get a positive response.
I just feel Jews get a lot of hate when they take any association with Israel, no matter how small. That’s all.
@daiisieslillies @firstqrince @noah_schnapp But that does ignore his religious and familial connection to that place (I know he did have family there, don’t know if he still does).
Not like it’s some random beach town, even if this particular trip is a beach and party trip.
@daiisieslillies @firstqrince @noah_schnapp I mean sure he’s very likely oblivious, but I don’t think, as a Jew, going to Israel is some evil thing.
Like yeah it’s privileged but that’s not exclusive to Israel.
@daiisieslillies @firstqrince @noah_schnapp But also, these are like middle-aged people in the industry. I would imagine them together are more business/networking related than partying with friends
@daiisieslillies @firstqrince @noah_schnapp Look I don’t disagree that it’s questionable. I’ll take your word that they have statements, I’ve asked here and looked myself and couldn’t find anything that damning, but maybe because I’m Jewish, my biases cloud that.
@firstqrince @noah_schnapp Now i can’t read that first one (sorry Jewish ancestors), but I’m struggling to find the issues with the others. Ethiopian Jews are a part of a heavily discriminated class, even amongst Jews, and the other she’s talking about family escaping the holocaust
@simplytomh Yea I do think it is overhated.
It is probably my least favorite episode of the series but for what it accomplishes I can’t call it a “bad episode of TV”. I’ve seen a hell of a lot worse.
