Thank you @MarkRuffalo
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life. This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.  Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Imagine if these boys were anything other than Palestinian, most civilized people would have no hesitation in calling these soldiers what they are: Monsters.
🇵🇸👉¿Sabías qué Israel es único estado terrorista del mundo, donde secuestran, torturan, asesinan a niños y niñas Palestinos? Y se presentan siempre como las pobres víctimas, justificando un genocidio con "defenderse"

Think about this staggering statistic.
Israel has killed more journalists than any other nation in history. More than the total number of journalists killed during the U.S. Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War combined.

To beat a six year old child like this and claim you are the most moral army in the world. These people are not human.

To bury children alive is not an act of self defense. It is not act of retaliation against Hamas. It is an act of pure unrepentant Evil. World Govt’s world must divest from and shun this criminal rogue state.
Jewish American surgeon Mark Perlmutter recounts how Israeli soldiers took two Palestinian children and buried them alive This is the most horrifying testimony yet.

It is near impossible in America to get mainstream distribution for a film that humanizes Palestinians. But @CherienDabis has made a beautiful epic film that tells the story of one families journey over three generations under Israeli occupation. Everyone should see this film.

.@realDonaldTrump is actually the second person in history to be gifted the #NobelPeacePrize by the recipient. The first was Joseph Goebbels.

Humans could learn a thing or two here.
A rare and touching incident was captured during flash floods in Sumatra. The video shows a Sumatran elephant attempting to rescue a tiger swept away by the strong current. This rare moment immediately went viral on Indonesian social media.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is AI generated, but is presented as fact. The author himself agrees this video has been generated by AI. x.com/akshayksamal/s…

Killing children for fun. Oh what fun! How fun living these IOF Soldiers are. They’re just having fun killing children for fun. Such funsters.
This is a video from a few days ago In Gaza, from what the US and Israel call the “yellow line,” the Israeli soldiers firing toward Palestinians on the other side for Fun

They labeled those two beautiful little boys as terrorists bc they walked on the wrong side of the street and these murderous savages that call themselves ‘the most moral army’ in the world, killed them.
⚡️BREAKING: This morning, an Israeli drone killed two Palestinian siblings, ages 8 and 11, just for crossing the so-called “yellow line”, a boundary that doesn’t even exist on the ground. Israel labeled them “terrorists,” as it routinely does to Palestinians simply trying to return to their homes.

It seems the person that got schooled is YOU.
Here’s the new face of the Democrat party — a literal communist — on his way to the White House to be schooled by President Trump.
