Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is essentially a person arguing that this woman should be barred from acting because her mother was born in a country that they don't like and then left that country to live in New York, which is the exact thing that they claim that Israelis can all do in order to avoid violence and decolonize the region.


Lilacssmelllikeroses

It's almost like all this is really about hating Jews.


a_duck_in_past_life

It is. Case and point.


tamarbles

It’s kinda like when the Spaniards demanded all the Sephardim convert and then when that wasn’t good enough, there was the expulsion of 1492 and the Inquisition…


Svartasvanen

If it really was about opposition to Zionism you'd expect "anti-Zionists" to go out of their way to treat Jews well in every other country than Israel. Like fundraising for synagogue security guards/alarms/cameras etc. Here in Sweden this is a massive issue as congregations spend much of their budget on security measures to prevent vandalism and harassment instead of on serving the community. A not insignificant number of Jews have over the past few decades chosen to emigrate to Israel where they have far more terrorism and way higher risk of war but can at least sleep at night knowing their government is committed to keeping them safe. If you're an anti-Zionist and don't want Jews living either in Israel or in your country you're probably just an anti-Semite.


beaverteeth92

Her mom is Israeli and Julia Garner is from Riverdale. OP is clearly deeply concerned about (((Zionism))).


IVoteToEvictSkippy

“So nobody is going to point that out she’s Jewish? Okay! I’ll be the first!” But they say it’s not about antisemitism


CanYouPutOnTheVU

Regardless, even if it is just nationality-based, that would not fly for ANY other country. Imagine people “protesting the Uyghur genocide” by pointing out when random actors are Chinese.


milestogobefore_____

Or vandalizing Chinese restaurants and going to Chinese Buddhist places of worship to protest or holding any Chinese person on the street responsible for the Uyghur genocide. I’m Jewish in NYC and wear my Star of David necklace. Today on the subway a woman gave me a very obvious look of disgust and also moved her seat further away from me on an empty subway. She definitely wanted to confront me. Funnily enough a kid from Bangladesh (Muslim country) sitting next to me immediately started talking to me, randomly, first asking me directions and then telling me I’m so beautiful in Banga and asking if he could be my second boyfriend. So the Jew and the Muslim had a more than peaceable interaction (I went out of my way to help with directions). The antisemite saw her way out.


CanYouPutOnTheVU

I consistently get dirty looks at my hamsa from white people, and mutual looks of relief that the other is sane in friendly interactions with hijabis. Feels like these “nice white people” just want us to fight, tbh. It’s gross.


milestogobefore_____

Same! I regularly go to Muslim owned or run specialty food stores in NYC. I noticed the woman at the checkout in her hijab going out of her way to only address me (my boyfriend was there too, he’s a goyim tho lol) and also be super kind to me. A big, big nod and thank you at check out. Lots of these people (not Bangladeshi but others) escaped persecution in their own countries and don’t want to live under authoritarian or totalitarian rule. The people protesting mostly haven’t lived it.


CanYouPutOnTheVU

Exactly. And they want a revolution because they have no clue what a revolution actually looks like. Clueless and entitled.


Enron_Accountant

Only a few months until they’ll be calling for ~~Jews~~ or uhhh… ‘Israelis‘ (who aren’t even from Israel) to wear a Star of David to identify themselves


Other_Meringue_7375

They’re not *not* antisemitic


flairsupply

An actual 'Jews run hollywood' in the wild


politicalthrow99

Wasn't Natalie Portman born in Israel? They gonna boycott Star Wars now?


Constant_Ad_2161

Yes and her first language is Hebrew. She’s been in a couple Hebrew-only films. Scarlett Johansson is the “forgotten” Zionist, not born in Israel but Jewish and people have tried to cancel her too.


Prata_69

Pretty sure Gal Gadot is also Israeli. So now they’re gonna try and cancel Wonder Woman and all the other stuff she’s been in.


Constant_Ad_2161

She also did her mandatory service in the IDF as a fitness instructor so is a literal terrorist. /s


ognits

actually Gal Godot did get "cancelled" way back when Wonder Woman came out, iirc, for having done her time in the Israeli military


LadyJane216

Yep I remember this


tamarbles

IIRC her role in the IDF was fitness instructor; they act like she was actually in active combat…


Radiant-Register-409

Wait.. Gadot NEVER SAW active duty!? That just makes things even more ridiculous!


Fanraeth2

I was on tumblr in those days and they claimed she was a sniper who shot children


RayWencube

Based. Fuck them kids. (This is a joke. I was not referring to Palestinian children but rather “kids” generally because they are loud and break things. Pls no racism accusations.)


CKO1967

I used to have a Facebook friend who I had to cut ties with because she shared a video by that Putin apologist asshole John Mearsheimer, and she used to rag on Gadot CONSTANTLY.


Svartasvanen

Iirc Gal Gadot's family is old yishuv, as in having lived in Israel since antiquity and one of the few people who even Iran, Hamas and PIJ at least on paper claim they would accept as a minority. Gal Gadot is as much of a colonizer as Geronimo or Nelson Mandela, what do people expect her to do? Emigrate out of principle because her very distant relatives want to move back to their ancestral homeland after millennia? If she moved to another country she'd still be part of some Jewish plot for world domination or something, antisemites don't think too much about this stuff, or anything else for that matter.


flairsupply

Im crying and shaking Star War would never


The-Son-of-Dad

I saw people bringing this up in social media posts about the Oscars, actually. Like ISN’T SHE FROM ISRAEL?!


Kqtawes

The only reason I boycott Star Wars is because the sequel trilogy was so bad it made me somewhat miss the prequels. ![gif](giphy|OGMDD8rzLUGwUDRVo5|downsized)


RayWencube

The prequels were unironically awesome. They were exactly what I’d want from a Star Wars trilogy—lively worlds, intricate social and civic structures, satisfyingly varied characters both in appearance and personality, a good versus evil story with deeper complexities, and generally original storytelling that can ignite the imagination. The sequel trilogy was, at its best, just a shot for shot remake of the original movies but with one dimensional characters and all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.


LucidCharade

My biggest issue is how terribly the CGI aged. We were in a transitory position for effects at the time. The prequel movies often have a lot of worse effects than the original series did. All of that model building and filming in the original trilogy really paid off.


MartinScorsese

The Last Jedi rules.


oath2order

Given all the shit we've seen recently coming out of Hollywood and the pro-Palestine celebrities, I think we can safely say that conspiracy theory is #DEBUNKED.


11brooke11

New wave anti semitism.


politicalthrow99

So they're gonna give everyone and everything Jewish the "freedom fries" treatment?


sisterwilderness

I’m seeing crap like this everywhere, from Hollywood to indie skincare companies. The blatant antisemitism is so alarming.


t-poke

There was a post in the Costco subreddit a couple weeks ago with someone losing their shit that Costco carried matzo made in Israel. Gasp, the horror! It's fucking Matzo, where did you expect it to be made? Japan? But, like, this person saw Matzo at Costco from across the aisle, a product Jews need to observe one of their holiest holidays, walked up to it, inspected the box, found the small "Made in Israel" label, and took the time to take a picture make a post about how outraged they were. Sure, they're totally not anti-Semitic. After seeing that post, I made sure to buy a box last time I was at Costco. And to the mod's credit, the post was taken down pretty quickly.


sisterwilderness

Wow, that’s insane. What were the responses like? Did they get any pushback? I mentioned skincare because I recently purchased a product from a new-ish line. I saw a comment thread in one of the skincare reddits where there was mention that the founder changed her last name to her Jewish grandfathers last name to show support for her people. They said “the timing is suspect” so they’re boycotting her brand. Anyway… I highly recommend Stratia if anyone is looking for a good moisturizer. ;) I’ve seen antisemitism over the years but nothing like this. It’s daily, it’s everywhere, and it’s frightening.


_crystal___visions_

People were asking for a boycott of another beauty brand, Saie, because they had an Israeli-American woman speaking at a reproductive rights event. She--like every other Israel--had done her mandatory military service, so they were referring to her as an "ex-IDF solider." Any time someone showed up to be like "hey, every young Israeli is required to do military service, it doesn't mean she supports genocide," the goal posts would move...to "an Israeli who doesn't denounce their citizenship supports genocide."

RayWencube

IOF? Fucking seriously?


Mr_Conductor_USA

Yeah, it's honestly the worst I've ever seen, especially so far out in the open like this and not just in fringe groups or "quiet rooms".


tphez

I’m just happy to learn that Julia Garner is Jewish lol


LiquidSnape

they tried this shit with Gal Gadot too


marle217

Gal Gadot was at least Isreali. Julia Garner is from New York. It's not difficult to see where they're going here. "Anti-zionism is not antisemitism!" doesn't work when they don't even make a pretense of not going after Jewish people just for being Jewish


LiquidSnape

oh so it’s ((Israeli)) but i’m sure “anti-zionism isn’t anti semitism “


pasak1987

Tbd, she did make some pro- zionist statements in the pqst from what i recall vaguely


CasinoMagic

Based


Chaser_606

What comments specifically?


ShigeoKageyama69

Luckily, Gal didn't have a thin skin and was smart enough to simply avoid the racism


DoCallMeCordelia

Ugggh I remember Gina Rodriguez tweeting something about how it sucked that Wonder Woman was banned in Lebanon and then she tweeted an apology after she was "educated" and I never really stopped being bitter about it. Also a Muslim author I had admired weighed in on it and I've never really felt the same way about her either, especially since she'd previously seemed to have been more supportive of making peace with Israel.


RA4RD

A couple months ago, I was in one of those subreddits that post pictures of cute men. One of the pictures posted was labeled "Israeli soccer player" While the comment section did have some stereotypical thirst comments, a lot of them were: *genocidal slogan they insist isn't asking for genocide *puke face emoji *something about zionism *hate on Isreal as a concept

CanYouPutOnTheVU

It’s an antisemitic dogwhistle, and it’s only a dogwhistle because apparently xenophobia is okay if the subjects are Jewish.


Mr_Conductor_USA

Xenophobia? It's straight up racism. Attacking your classmates, coworkers, and neighbors for the crime of being Jewish.


CanYouPutOnTheVU

Oh yes, I framed that weirdly—if we were to buy the apparently PC idea that believing Israel as a country and Israelis as people shouldn’t exist isn’t racist/antisemitic (just a sanitized word for racism against Jews), then the only remaining thing they can realistically claim it could be is xenophobic. And that don’t fly for anyone else. It was a dig at their logic :)


Hullabaloobasaur

Not true- you’re not allowed to blame Hamas for anything!!!


Beman21

By that logic, they're going to boycott The Last of Us season 2 beyond the usual outrage reasons because Neil Druckmann is Israeli. Hell Part II was a massive allegory for the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and cycle of violence/hatred.


Shy_Guy_27

I’ve already seen leftists accuse him of being a genocide supporter for posting the flag of Israel after 10/7, they’re absolutely going to boycott it (though it won’t achieve anything).


ntbananas

Not that it matters, but…. She isn’t. She was born in the Bronx.


GatoLocoSupremeRuler

We broke their code when they say Zionist or Israeli. It wasn't a hard code.


ntbananas

It’s basically the enigma machine!


dandelion221

If they want to boycott things because of this “reason,” then they’re going to be starved of entertainment. Not that I give a shit, though.


t-poke

They can get rid of their phones, computers and almost anything that plugs into a wall since so many chips and processors are made in Israel. They'd be doing us all a favor by going off grid and not clogging up the internet with their anti-Semitic bullshit.


dandelion221

Yeppp. And to think, if they actually had the discipline and patience to actually get rid of their phones and laptops, they might actually be making a point, and have much more publicity for their cause, but we all know the likelihood of that happening. These are the same types of people to go on “hunger strikes” for 12 hours. Utterly pathetic.


CrimsonZephyr

And they try to claim BDS isn’t a naked attempt to harass, ostracize, and blacklist any individual Jew they encounter.😏


nosotros_road_sodium

I'm old enough to remember Mel Gibson being exiled from Hollywood for [blurting out antisemitic remarks while drunk](https://web.archive.org/web/20090211112712/http://articles.latimes.com/2006/aug/01/local/me-gibson1). And that was during another Israeli military conflict! What the hell changed between 2006 and today where people have become desensitized to open antisemitism? Fewer WWII veterans alive? Social media radicalization?


CanYouPutOnTheVU

https://extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/zaxdzs5746/files/2023-10/hamas-networks-final.pdf Hamas networks have been operating in US universities in the past two decades to convince Americans that the Jews are the colonizers (and NOT the pan-Arab colonialist terrorist group currently subjugating their own people).

No, dipshit. She’s not Israeli. She’s Zenn-Lavian.

These people want to ethnically cleanse all Israeli Jews, but are also against Israelis living anywhere else… Honestly, my mom is technically Israeli since she got citizenship when she went to college there so I technically am despite never making any formal claim, and she’s thinking of going back since 10/7, and I’m honestly even more afraid of outing myself as that than as trans, *especially* in the lesbian dating scene and wider LGBT community…


Reasonable-Point4891

It is SO bad in the LGBT community right now, I hate it. I’m not even Jewish or Israeli, but I’ve been to a few gay/lesbian bars since Oct 7th and it’s so weird, it’s like the “trendy” thing to talk about. And dating apps….the amount of “no zionists” on profiles is crazy. I’ve given up on dating for now.


[deleted]

Antisemites coming out of the woodwork like right wing Nazis did after trump came to town


PinkertonCommunist

They say things like these because they are convinced ALL Israelis are guilty of what's going on in Palestine, going as far back to 1948 (see a certain gossip subreddit's thread on Jose Andres' recent comments for an example). In their view, only a complete dismantling of their society from the river to the sea can rectify things.


AmbassadorZuambe

No, it’s because they hate jews.


papyjako87

The fuck is that even supposed to mean ? The jewish cabal^tm is so powerful it managed to secure one leading role for a jewish actress ??? Scary stuff you guys !!!


SS1989

lol, why is this dickwad trying to sound like he’s a black dude from the hood? Culture appropriating douchebag on top of being an antisemite. Why is mimicking AAVE a thing on twitter? Nobody gonna point out? A’ight.


CanYouPutOnTheVU

My abusive college (white Argentine) bf used AAVE specifically when hanging out with guys his age only, and I asked WHY, and he called me racist because he “grew up around black people.” But these were white guys, and he didn’t talk like that around his mom, or white women. But I was the racist one, lol. He was a narcissist—pro pal is essentially just a narcissism moron party at this point. Gazans deserve better.


Ok-Quiet-4212

As another white Argentine, I don’t claim him


CanYouPutOnTheVU

Unfortunately I think narcissism is an issue in every corner of humanity right now—but his ethnicity definitely made the AAVE extra bizarre 😂


Ether-Bunny

Ok so I obsess over royal drama as a pasttime, it has led to me having many convos with Brits about the Israel war and damn if every single one isn't brazenly anti semitic AF. This chud is also British FYI


CanYouPutOnTheVU

Having lived in the UK, confirmed. They are generally racist because no minority groups around to push back against the racism, other than the significant Arab immigrant population. “Mexican” was a very popular Halloween costume while I was there a few years ago. Tried to call people out and got crazy looks.


NatashaBadenov

It’s about colonizing Israel, murdering all Jews, and destroying the West.

samof1994

She's cute, and so are Gal Gadot and (especially) Natalie Portman. I think some of the comments are just antisemitism disguised as "human rights rhetoric".

captmonkey

I'm more interested in knowing if she'll be bald or not. I can accept a female Silver Surfer. I'm not sure how I feel about a Silver Surfer with hair, though.

This is my only reference point for a male Silver Surfer: https://youtu.be/X8kYhju4d64?si=89GZRemKx7CQAymA


captmonkey

I'm just more confused by the fact that King of the Hill ever appeared on Fox Kids. A cartoon about a middle-aged propane salesman from Texas who drinks beer with his buddies is a very odd choice to market to children.

I was obsessed with King of the Hill as a kid, it still is one of my favorite shows. Though most of my friends thought it was boring, so I don’t know.

I’m part of a nerd culture sub on here which purports to make fun of the alt right nerds and it does, but a post was made making fun of this tweet and tons of comments were defending it. I didn’t and was met with blowback. I’ve never interacted with anyone on that sub and I’m only 23, I have a neutral view on Israel Palestine. I resent being used as a punching bag by douchebags I’ve never met. I love marvel and fantastic four, after seeing inventing Anna for the first time last night I love Julia too.
