Stereotypes

Don't believe it? Two words: Harvey Weinstein.   ("Gomorrha"?)
Variety would have you know ...

Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Juliette Binoche, Riz Ahmed and Guillermo del Toro Among Additional Names to Sign Open Letter Condemning Industry Silence Over Gaza (EXCLUSIVE)

Fatma Hassona was 25 years old.

She was a Palestinian freelance photojournalist. She was targeted by the Israeli army on 16 April 2025, the day after it was announced that Sepideh Farsi’s film “Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk,” in which she was the star, had been selected in the ACID section of the Cannes Film Festival.

She was about to get married.

Ten of her relatives, including her pregnant sister, were killed by the same Israeli strike.

Since the terrible massacres of 7 October 2023, no foreign journalist has been authorised to enter the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army is targeting civilians. More than 200 journalists have been deliberately killed. Writers, film-makers and artists are being brutally murdered.

At the end of March, Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal, who won an Oscar for his film “No Other Land,” was brutally attacked by Israeli settlers and then kidnapped by the army, before being released under international pressure. The Oscar Academy’s lack of support for Hamdan Ballal sparked outrage among its own members and it had to publicly apologize for its inaction.

Even "liberal" Hollywood is full of quislings turning a blind eye. This reporter is not silent concerning murder, genocide & gentrification in Gaza, which probably means he will soon be murdered by a Hebrew, a crazed Xian Hebrew-lover, the Mossad or the Heritage Foundation. I've already been rendered & it didn't shut me up, so obviously my death is next. Fuck you all, fascist sheep.

Peter Wade / Rolling Stone:
Van Hollen: The U.S. Is ‘Complicit’ in Starving the People of Gaza  —  “Two million Palestinians are starving.  This is collective punishment that is clearly illegal under international law,” the senator said … When asked on CBS's Face the Nation about photographs of starving children in Gaza … 
Speaking of clichéd stereotypes, don't get me started on the cheap slumlord one. It's as true as the days are long. 

Hope you all had simply wonderful wknds.
