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.

An incredible story is currently rocking Israel. It started when the Central Command chief of the IDF put a settler in executive detention to stop him from committing awful crimes and the defense minister threatened to remove him for it on live TV. Here is the play by play:
1) On the night of 12–13 March 2026, settlers raided Khirbet Humsa which is a Palestinian Bedouin village. One settler involved, Tal Yinon Dardik, tied a Palestinian's genitals with a zip-tie and paraded around the village.
2) The Israeli system refused to try him, but the Shun Bet felt he was a threat so they asked for executive detention for him. All he received was a restriction order, not detention. It was his fourth since 2015, when the first was issued to him at 17. He has hospitalized several Palestinians with brutal assaults.
3) Central Command chief Avi Bluth approved it. He is a settler, who was appointed because he supports settlement expansion and settler terrorism. He is one of the main architects of the wave of violence in the West Bank. But even he thought this was too much.
4) Dardik was put in a cell because the court could nto release him to Kfar Tarpion, an unauthorised outpost. He refused to be anywhere else. So he was arrested for going back. Defense minister Katz visited this terrorist in the cell. Katz announced that the order would not be renewed.
5) Bluth and the Jerusalem District Attorney went to court to get it renewed. They feel Dardik is a genuine security threat.
6) Katz went on Israeli TV, fascist Channel 14 to be exact, and announced that Bluth would be replaced and who that replacement would be. All because Bluth wanted one guy who zip ties a Palestinians penis to be restricted from going into Palestinian villages. Now Katz denies the replacement is because of this. But he linked it explicitly.
Bluth was the most pro-settlement Central Commander ever. He is behind all the crimes, building settlements, allowing settler terror, having the IDF back them up. Even that was not enough because he did ONE THING the settlers did not like. The IDF has become the tool of the settlers. Anyone standing up to them will be replaced.
BREAKING: Israeli settler terrorists have begun carrying out coordinated pogroms across the West Bank, vowing to murder Palestinians and burn families alive.
This video is from the village of Urif, where Israeli settlers set homes on fire and attempted to burn families alive.

A rocket hasn't been fired from Gaza in 18 months. And Hamas has handed administrative control over to a technocratic interim committee. Yet the apartheid state continues killing children daily. Almost as if it's a holocaust and not a war
BREAKING: After setting the Christian village of Taybeh on fire, Israeli settlers are now at the entrance of the Christian city of Bethlehem, throwing stones at cars — under the protection of the Israeli army.
BREAKING: Taybeh, the last Palestinian Christian village in the West Bank, is on fire!
Local residents report that Israeli settlers torched the fields.
New footage obtained by B’Tselem uncovers the moments when the Abu Haikal family was shot. Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was killed in the shooting, and both his parents were injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever.
Moments later, in another video obtained by B’Tselem, seven-month-old Sam’s father, Fahed, is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands, while Sam’s mother, Daniyah, who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son, is seen sitting on the ground, next to the car.
Last Friday, 5 June, an Israeli soldier fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit, as they sat in their car in the Tel Rumeidah neighborhood in Hebron. The family was shot as the car was slowing to a stop at the soldier’s command. Sam, a seven‑month‑old baby who was in his mother’s arms in the back seat, was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Sam’s parents were also injured by the gunfire; his mother is still in the hospital. After the shooting, the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the critically wounded baby or to his mother.
In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable – even a seven‑month‑old baby.
Their absence of self-awareness is a serious pathology. They just killed 3k civilians (really, civilians) and are complaining that their invading soldiers are facing some risks WHILE INVADING.
An Israeli-born, Trump-appointed US attorney — who's referred to Palestinians as “animals,” called for Gaza to be wiped “off the map,” and suggested “even the children” in Gaza are terrorists — dropped charges against an Israeli tied to a biolab in Nevada.https://t.co/xyXP4Mtnlu
Donald Trump Jr takes a financial stake in a company…
3 months later, the Pentagon gives it $620 million…
after Trump’s White House told them to…
And the company’s valuation rose from
$200 million to $2 billion as a result.
This is corruption.
