This is pure ahistorical bullshit. The whole “the Middle East has been locked in war for centuries and they’ve hated each other for centuries” thing is one of the most highly criticized bits of Orientalist logic and myths that still exists. Every MENA specialist learns to roll their eyes at it.

Right wing dumbasses pretend to not understand there is a difference between being critical of the state of Israel and having any sort of feelings about people who are ethnically or religiously Jewish.

Saban is trash. His rabid bigotry against Arabs and Palestinians is well documented. He, like his fellow traveler in filth Dershowitz, is not a liberal in any meaningful sense of the term because he rejects the fundamental premises of liberal democratic political theory.

Never interrupt your enemy while they are making mistakes.

“Here, let me lie about something. Wait, you can easily prove that it’s a lie? Why would you do that? I feel so discriminated against!”

On the on hand I’m suck of seeing her pinch mouth whey faced ugly mug.

Conflict is fine, it just doesn’t have to always be “And then we kill this character’s loved one.” Looking at genre media, I loved pairings like John and Aeryn from Farscape, and Nomi and Amanita from Sense8, who were happy couples who faced crazy shit together.
