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.
@6PRbreakfast As a storeman most truck drivers I see now are of one particular ethnicity.
I'm pretty sure very soon the industry will be swamped by them, like many Government departments are now as highlighted just this week in the news.
So I wouldn't stress we're going to run out of truckies.
Israel is so evil that simply stating verified facts about things the IDF indisputably did can be presented to an uninformed audience as an antisemitic conspiracy theory solely because it sounds too evil to be true.
@clashreport Difficult to believe God is on the side of the child killers but here we are..modern times I guess.
Me, I think the @IDF are the worst collection of human beings ever assembled, shamelessly headed by the genocider @netanyahu
Fire would absolve their sin, so set them all on fire.
@lesstenny Blackmail & corruption.
Any politician who passes a bill or law that is adverse to the community as a whole is either corrupt or being blackmailed imo.
And if I'm being too general, that would be the fault of the elected I've watched for years get very rich off average wages..
