It looks like some anti-Zionists genuinely believe that Jews came in the 19th century and stole land at the beginning of the Zionist movement.
I think they’ve been bamboozled by talk of “settler colonialism.”
The truth is that Jews all over the world raised money to collectively purchase plots of inhospitable land from generally absentee Arab landowners (for exorbitantly high prices).
That’s what these blue boxes were for- I’ve got like 3 in my house.

Not many of the boycotts get under my skin and it may just be due to stress from moving and the recent events in Europe but holy fucking boycott batman, they're trying to boycott Mary (2024) which hasn't even releases yet.
I don't know much about it, however it follows Mary (the religious figure) after she gives birth to Jesus and has to flee.
Now let's lay some facts out first.
Both Jesus and Mary were jewish, not Palestinian. They lived in Judea, centuries before Palestine existed. Jesus and Mary also practiced and followed judaism.
There are a few reasons as to why people are boycotting, all equally silly and due to Mary being played by an Israeli Jewish actress.
Some people are ignoring fact and are claiming Mary was in fact Palestinian. To them, the movie is participating in a historical inaccuracy and erasing Palestinian history.
For anyone who actually knows the history more than reading an Instagram post, knows that, like we've established, Mary was a jew from Judea and not Palestinian. I also find it racist to think that Palestinians cannot have their own history and have to piggyback off of another culture. Palestinian history should be taught and represented in the media, without having another groups history rebranded as Palestinian to give legitimacy. Palestinian history should have legitimacy on its own.
The other reason for the boycott is the Israeli jewish actor playing her, Noa Cohen.
And to this I have a few thoughts.
Firstly, I thought (and still do) that the best representation in media is when a character is portrayed by someone of the same identity. Israel is the closest thing to modern day Judea. You aren't going to get any better rep than that.
Secondly, people need to understand that you are going to be uncomfortable at times!!! If an Israeli person being in a movie makes you uncomfortable, tough fucking titties just cope. Israeli citizens are not their government and it is bigoted to think so. So just learn to cope.
I have zero clue if she served in the IDF or not, but if she has and that's a factor in the boycott, I need people to also just cope. Most Israelis have served. By banning every Israeli who has served from being in movies and shows, you are banning the majority of Israelis from a whole profession.

episodes that i think every tv show should have:
timeloop
whodunit
musical
beach trip
random genre change (especially if it's to a noir detective thing)
one where they get randomly meta and fourth wall breaky but then never acknowledge it again
one where something happened but we as the audience don't actually get to see how it happened and only see it through the unreliable narrated flashbacks as recollected by the characters

Whistleblower from NCGA reveals there are FEMA trailers sitting in Hickory right now and FEMA has no timeline on when those will be deployed to those who need them.
Meanwhile, people across the region are sleeping in tents. Tonight it will snow - and the temps will be in the teens in some areas.
The campers belong to the American taxpayer and FEMA is holding them hostage from people who need them.
Let's not get it twisted.
