Yeah, I can’t say that I look forward to seeing a tape of a possible sexual assault. I will avoid it.

I don’t hate Jews. I hate Colonialists. Israel is colonialist. So I have a problem with the state of Israel. I also have a problem with the Russia, the China, US and Canada, and I live in the last one. What Israel is doing in Palestine is similar to the Chinese in Tibet - and so I hate both of those things equally.…

Jew here, dislike Israel. There is a difference between being born and Israel and being a staunch fucking Zionist. I do not believe I have a right to Israel just because I am Jewish.

if by ‘annihilation’ you mean oppression of its people, harming its citizens, or the physical destruction of its institutions, then no. i am not advocating for violence against its civilians.

There are Israeli conscientious objectors, so there is a choice - unappealing as it may be, since they face the likelihood of jail time.

It’s not Jewish actors, it’s Israeli.

i dont believe that jews are evil or imperialists. not any more than i believe that christians are evil or imperialists. nor any more than i believe muslims are evil or imperialists.

yeah, good on you for pointing that out. lebanon has the moral high ground. the following are just the civilian casualties:

Some of the shit the IDF has done and she has thus supported with her #weareright hashtags were bloody low. Stuff condemned on this very network of sites. So I’m not too thrilled about her being all gung-ho for them.

its not a sin to be born in israel or to be jewish. serving in the occupying military force of a settler-colonialist project and participating in its wholesale oppression of the native population is most definitely a sin, and an international war crime, as well

There are plenty of Jews who are not Zionists.

Fair enough. This does have a bit of added irony though - its an outspoken supporter of the IDF playing someone who is supposed to represent the best of humanity, absolute justice on an international scale.

I’ve seen Lebanese people on twitter broadly supporting the move and I don’t blame them, even though I myself will be catching the first show here in Calcutta.

Or maybe, instead of automatically accusing them of being sexist homophobes, you could try to empathize with the politics of the situation? Frankly, I myself have been considering boycotting the film - I have icky feelings about someone so pro-IDF portraying someone who is supposed to symbolize ultimate justice. It…

Not surprising, considering what Israel did to Lebanon, and Gadot’s support of the IDF during the last major massacre of Gaza, when she dismissed massive civilian casualties simply as Hamas’ fault.

Lebanon already has a wholesale ban on Israeli products, including movies, so yeah, that’s exactly what they intend to do.

I think thats the whole point

Technically anyone who professes to follow BDS should also be boycotting this movie... I tend to doubt that will happen though? :p

Gadot’s service and her outspoken support for the IDF in subsequent years have led many to accuse her of being a Zionist—in the term’s most controversial interpretation.

Absolutely fair enough.
