No, boycotting Israeli restaurants IS NOT antisemitic. They are either serving poorly reconstructed Arab dishes passed off as “Israeli food” or donating portions of their profits to the IDF. So between just those two things alone, I won’t be taking the chance HAHA 🖕🏼
People really don’t know the difference between someone’s ethnicity and ancestral background and their nationality. Those two things do not always go hand-in-hand, especially when you’re talking about someone from a larger diasporic population.
Melissa Barrera tells Variety that she’s starting her own production company and plans to work with “anyone pro-Palestine”:
“Basically anyone pro-Palestine. I kept track of the people who vocally came out and said something to defend me at the time. Susan Sarandon. Tatiana Maslany. Hannah Einbinder. Poppy Liu. Obviously, Javier Bardem would be a dream to work with. He doesn’t need me to give him any opportunities. But yes, I have lists. I do believe in building a network of people who are like-minded. And for me, this is Chapter 2.”
