“I almost lunged at him.”

Thank you for focusing on the important things in this story ❤

Gaza is literally surrounded by walls, except for their coastline which is heavily policed and any boat straying out of the approved waters gets immediately fired upon by the IDF. There are only two active crossings, one controlled by Egypt, the other Israel. The people of Gaza cannot leave. Israel controls everything…

I would generally say a nation state has more of a responsibility to midigate innocents being harmed than a terrorist group. Seems a lot of people don’t agree.

Or are you just fine turning a blind eye to Jewish babies being butchered in their homes?

Well, not before the US stops blocking the UN from doing anything about it (I think the UK and France do occasionally as well).

Seems more similar to Reservations to me. Limited local control that can often immediately be put aside by the federal entity. Uphill fight for agreements made in the past. Lack of basic needs being met and a careless (at best) entity that makes it harder to meet them.

They hoped she would remain silent, just as the U.S Government has concerning the repeated war crimes that the Israeli Government inflicted.

That is a total mischaracterization of what she did.  She condemned killing of innocents by anyone.  How on earth is that a controversial take?

Especially via Instagram.

um...ahem...the terms “ghetto” and “concentration camp”... oh wait only bad people do those

The hangover from WWII that continues to drag people into armed conflicts shows exactly how bloodthirsty some have become about the defense of Israel at the cost of innocent people in Gaza. Those who knew nothing of what was to happen and are now being told their lives and homes are at risk if they remain. Even when…

As a Palestinian-American who’s father’s family was forced to flee the country in 1948, I am not sure how they anticipated she would react? Full throated endorsement of the IDF planning an invasion of Gaza?

Israel is an Apartheid state.

This is the same Israeli government that equates periodically slaughtering thousands of innocent Gazans to some moderate yardwork, right? Despicable.

Oh I think it’s very clear why they are doing this. Old Benji wants a genocide and the Israeli government can’t let all these high visibility celebrities influence their followers with things like reason and empathy. It unmuddies the water they’ve worked so hard to keep dirty. I can’t begin to tell you how many people…

Ok so outside the crimes against humanity AND being an apartheid state, we are now going to let a foreign nation harass a private US citizen?

If any other nation did this, there would be outage.

She didn’t ‘lose’ and he didn’t ‘win’. He settled for $1 mil instead of the $10 mil he tried for initially. And it’s funny you mention people hating to work with her, because everything I’ve ever heard from *before* this absolute circus of a trial went down is that she was lovely to be with on set (and in general). I…

This is what I also took away from it hahah. If things escalate, she might upgrade to “it was neat.”

Hoda seems nice enough but has zero chill.
