The quality of a work does not excuse a creator's shitty behavior.

A creator's shitty behavior does not lessen the quality of a work.

True in any and every medium.

@Reuters "... an independent UN inquiry said" instead of "... an independent UN inquiry found" is Reuters' way of shedding doubt on this finding.
Reuters continues to do linguistic gymnastics to shield Israel.

Students were arrested for protesting this.

being a fan of someone feels like admiring a flower. watching them grow and seeing them bloom can make us feel proud in such a personal way. but admiring a flower doesn’t mean owning it or deciding how it should grow. the kindest support is simply letting it bloom in its own way.

Wait until you hear about the unspeakable genocide you've been aiding & abetting for 2.5 fucking years.

"Israel beat, tortured, and sexually assaulted me and my fellow humanitarian peace activists for days."

Statement by Australian activist Violet Coco after her release from an Israeli prison.

Listen to every word carefully.

@jnbarrot « Nous désapprouvons la démarche de cette flottille qui ne produit aucun effet utile » bah si justement, elle a permis d'interdire Ben-Gvir de territoire Français

Et Netanyahou qui a exterminé 20000 enfants, il n'est pas interdit de territoire ? 🤔

[Manon Aubry @ManonAubryFr]

Il aura vraiment fallu attendre que Ben gvir humilie des européens pour que vous vous aperceviez de son danger ? Et les violences sur les prisonniers palestiniens ? Et l'anéantissement du peuple palestinien à Gaza ?

Vous aviez même retiré le nom de Ben Gvir des sanctions européennes pas plus tard qu'il y a deux semaines. Quelle hypocrisie !

Ce qu'on veut ce n'est pas des mesures symboliques mais la fin de la complicité de l'UE : commencez par suspendre l'accord UE - Israël !

BOMBSHELL: Prominent journalist Yasmin Khan confirms 15 peace activists detained by Israel report being systematically raped and sexually assaulted.

An Australian doctor reveals soldiers dragged medics into stress positions and brutally beat them. Pure fascist terror!

Israeli soldiers raped flotilla activists

How the fuck is this not every single news outlet ?

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN PEOPLE SKIP THE DESCRIPTIONS AND ONLY READ DIALOGUE!?!?!??

THAT DOESN'T COUNT AS READING YOU LAZY BUM!!! YOU'RE LITERALLY SKIPPING THE **BOOK** PART OF THE BOOK!!!

Israel announces they’re widening their invasion of Southern Lebanon. (via AP)

Netanyahu referred to it as the expansion of the “existing security strip.”

Homer's Odyssey and Iliad was indeed a diverse melting pot that explicitly mentions "Memnon the Son of the Dawn from Ethiopia" as "the most handsome man on earth" and this being told by Odysseus himself:

"ὃς περὶ πάντων ἦν ��νδρῶν
κάλλιστος ἰδέσθαι τῶν ἄλλων μετὰ Μέμνονα δῖον"

"he [Eurupulos son of Tilefidis] is the handsomest out of all men I ever saw, all except for Memnon"

2) We do not know the skin colour of Helen. Ancient Greeks used the words "white" to refer to "domesticated good women" and the word "black" to refer to "brave men".

3) This is not just in word but also in pottery and art, men are painted totally black and women totally white, in later periods these absolutely B&W hues lighten up in which men are very brown and women white but not like chalk. But the motif remains with more natural colours.

This never meant that all men were Black-African and all women White-Polish-Lithuanian. It was a style that represented their culture in poetry, art, pottery, etc. White colour for feminine domestication, obedience, black colour for male bravery.

4) Homer's Epics is art more than it is history, it can be interpreted as it has been by several people who look and looked nothing like the Greeks.

5) It is a movie for a global audience retelling a piece of art, not a documentary. It is absolutely fine to be told in a global language for a global audience.

6) The inclusion of more people than just Europeans piques more interest for Homer globally which can only be a good thing.

7) When you are racist against others, it don't matter how you justify it, it still shows.

Kids are going to schools where no one assigns them books, and where computers come pre-loaded with AI that writes for them. The effects on developing brains will be catastrophic. In ten years we’ll see what a horrendous mistake this was, but by then the damage will be done.

You know ppl are steaming because they can't blame this on anti semitism.

Israel must immediately release the activists it has kidnapped in int'l waters. Persecuting those who oppose Apartheid is part of the crime of Apartheid.

Israel won't stop bullying killing and torturing people until it is forced to:
Boycott, Divest, Protest, Activate courts now.

[Ali A Olomi @aaolomi]

israel kidnapped international activists in international waters, beat them, and abused them and you’ll never see any headline covering it in the western press
