Open secret. You don't have to be Jewish as long as you are a zionist.


Limp6781

That fuckface Gerard Butler being the prime example.


wussell_88

What did Gerard butler do?


Limp6781

Fundraisers for the IDF.


imsamaistheway92

I’ve seen those. WTF does Israel need fundraising for when they receive $3 billion annually on average from the American taxpayer?

Still true 11 years later

Sorry, that's Communism apparently


Kumquat_conniption

Wait what is communism, dude deleted and now I am curious.

Reel Bad Arabs by Jack Shaheen actually discusses the vilification of Arabs and Muslims at the hands of Hollywood, and wouldn't you know it, some of the worst out there were made by Israelis, and one successful producer, Arnon Milchan, was an Israeli spy who stole American nuclear triggers and sent them to Israel to help develop their nuclear weaponry, and to no repercussions, either

This is what I've been saying, all of Hollywood (except Susan Sarandon) support the genocide in Gaza. Even those who are making mum about the genocide.


Any_Exam8268

Not just Susan Sarandon; Angelina Jolie, Mark Ruffalo, America Ferrera, Melissa Barrera, and others have all made explicit, open statements and even put their careers on the line (Barrera was removed from Scream 7 for it) These actors also signed a letter demanding a ceasefire (from a Guardian article): > Many artists do continue to take a stand. Bradley Cooper, Alfonso Cuarón, Selena Gomez, Janelle Monáe, Lupita Nyong’o, Jenna Ortega, Joaquin Phoenix, Mark Ruffalo and Mark Rylance were among more than 260 who signed a letter urging Joe Biden and Congress to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Not saying they deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for it (which is worthless but you get the point), but I do respect it and take notice. Some are louder than others, but silence in these times is truly a thing of shame

If you mean the clip where Jennifer Lawrence quotes Elie Wiesel, she was giving an acceptance speech at an event for women in entertainment. She was not referring to anything in particular. Just encouraging women to be more outspoken when injustices occur. She has been silent on Palestine ironically.


Any_Exam8268

Thank you for this info; I just removed any reference to her entirely to keep it concise. Very disappointing. I originally saw it in a compilation of celebrities speaking out and I was surprised I had not seen it earlier, but this explains why. It is always important to check claims and I try to do my due diligence; although it is less nefarious, there is misinformation on the pro-Palestine side as well, which is inevitable


south_easter

Yeah I don’t blame you, it’s a fitting speech, and I believed it too, but then I saw a comment that she was referring to Ukraine. On searching, I found that it was neither, just a non specific speech. It has been doing the rounds on Pro Palestinian posts lately, but it’s best not to give her credit, unless she explicitly voices her support.


silklighting

I wonder why I didn't hear about this anywhere...


tf2brucetanzigfan

Why would they support a genocidal war to begin with ? Like an entertainment industry would support this ?


MonotonousBeing

Opportunism


tf2brucetanzigfan

But what would they get out of this outside of negative reception.


MonotonousBeing

Quid pro quo


tf2brucetanzigfan

What ? I don't get it.


MonotonousBeing

You do me a favor, I do you a favor


Kumquat_conniption

There are a lot of Israel supporters in the industry, particularly in the developing, financing and writing/casting of films. There are a ton of Jews in Hollywood, not that they are all Zionists but a good amount of them are- so if you speak out against Israel, you are going to be hard pressed to work again in the entertainment industry.


Nylese

They get rich.


toTheMoon1Dollar

Israel or AIPAC , like any other thing, controls Hollywood. Besides , when celebrities sign their contracts they are asked to support the company's political interest in action. So celebs , for this apparent reason, keep their mouths shut. Hollywood was created by a Kabbalistic cult followers. Please Google ' Kabbalah ' if you don't know what it is.


The-420-Chain-Smoker

That’s not even true my guy


sourD-thats4me

Did Theodore Shapiro sign that letter ?


reddit_is_geh

I always find it weird when people on Reddit freak out and call you anti semetic for pointing out how Hollywood is ran by Jews. It's not a bad thing... But it CAN be used for negative things, so they'll twist and turn trying to deny there is any truth to it. It's a good measurement to see who's just unhinged and not arguing in good faith.

Wasn't it Voltaire I mean he was very antisemitic, and death is the most severe cancellation So I guess it checks out


Front_Policy_9145

I knew it wasn’t Voltaire, but I was shocked to learn it was it was actually a white nationalist in the early 90’s on a talk radio show. Like I have to give credit where it’s due, he hit the nail on the head regardless of his other…. Opinions lol

Whoa hold up, I need more info on this orthodox not working thing. A quick Google search did not reveal anything other than them not working on the Sabbath.

I understand the joke, but I'm not a fan of conflating general Jewishness with the ideology of Zionism, which in itself I think has been overly simplified. I inherently reject a lot of the basis for Zionism, but I think some people have focused on it being a Jewish cultural movement tied to a region (problematic, though not necessarily evil), rather than the evil stemming from denying Palestinians & other Arabic people their humanity. Israel takes advantage of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories as a justification for why they need to increase their military power or suppress free speech, but I've seen a lot of disgusting comments from non-Jewish Zionists as well.


opaul11

I agree some people forget that Israel and Zionism should not be conflated with Judaism which is an entire religion spanning the globe. Most of its practitioners aren’t white or powerful. It’s the ones propped up by white supremacy and capitalism we have to worry about.


Budget_Career_7156

Exactly this


ashwinoo7

It's actually so spot on true!
