"After an article reported that Rachel Zegler “trashed” the production of Disney's Snow White due to her stance on Palestine, thousands online are applauding her vocal stance this week despite the pressures of working with Disney and former Israeli army soldier Gal Gadot."

I feel like Walt would approve hating on Israel.

[-] voicesarefree@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago

I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern.. That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.

I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.

I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.

What makes you think we'll ever get past this? It's been going on since the founding of the state of Israel.

That’s a fair question. I guess I just hope (and do what I can) for a better future

Saying "free Palestine" does not equal "down with Israel and the Jews". Wanting freedom from oppression for one group is not an endorsement of violence or oppression against another.

down with Israel and the Jews

See, now you lost all credibility. There's no honest reason whatsoever to add "and the Jews" to that sentence.

Israel is not "the Jews".

[-] prole 8 points 3 months ago

What? They weren't actually making that argument, you realize that right? I think you're literally agreeing with them.

[-] gamer@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Yes they are, reread the comment. They're making a boring logical platitude, but they're equating Israel with "the Jews" in a way that's irrelevant to their point.

Again, there was no honest reason to add "and the Jews" to their comment other than to equate Israel with Jewish people in general. That's a tactic used by pro-genocide people to accuse anyone that protests Israel of being anti-Semitic.

[-] prole 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

No, they were summarizing the position of the people that they disagree with... Like you see the quotes, right? This isn't what they say or believe. It's pretty clear to me, from that one single comment, that they 100% don't equate Israel with "the Jews." It's like the entire point of their comment.

Maybe go back and reread what they said?

[-] stalfoss@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

It’s hard to say…there’s this thing where a ton of people hate Jews but love Israel

[-] Muyal@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Either way he would still be an anti-union jackass so I don't really care what he would think

[-] prole 3 points 3 months ago

I've seen no indication whatsoever that this person hates Israel.

[-] entwine413@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I meant more along the lines of the episode of Family Guy where Peter shoots Cleveland Jr. On accident and Carter supports Peter because he shot a black person.

[-] suite403@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yea, just not for the correct reasons.

[-] Pueblo@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

I will remember her name and will never watch a movie with her. Fuck terrorists and their supporters

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago

She supported Palestinians. Not the IDF. She's doing the opposite of supporting terrorists.

[-] prole 18 points 3 months ago

Where did she support terrorists? Major self-report my dude...

[-] alkbch@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 months ago

Guess you won’t be watching any movies with Gal Gadot then.

[-] Pueblo@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

I dont know him/her so i guess yes

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

that's gonna be a long list with all the people who support the terrorist state of israel

[-] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

You are mistaken, she was supporting Palestine, not the IDF.

[-] Pueblo@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Ahh the big fantasystate which stands for terrorism, sounds good

[-] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah I already said IDF/Israel, what are you trying to say?

[-] Pueblo@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Ahh ok u are stupid, that explains it. Ty dont waste my rime anymore.

[-] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

What do you mean? You said she supports the terrorist state but she supports Palestine. It seems you were mistaken thinking she supports the terrorist IDF.

[-] arun@ani.social 4 points 3 months ago
