There was also this episode on the WTF with Marc Maron Podcast (roughly 1:03:00-1:05:00) posted 11/20/23 where he (indirectly) says this about palestine

I couldn’t reblog with the clip but i posted it here and also the transcript of what was said below

Marc: “I think a lot of times what you know is relative to your personal history. And then the rest is sort of like, you know, you pick and choose. Or somebody contextualizes something.”

Taika: “That is interesting because like, you know, especially like, I have no idea what this is, but like, around the world there’s this idea that like you must know about everything. You must have a comment. You must have an opinion and know about every single thing going on. And I’m like, okay, how many of you know about the things the Māori have gone through in New Zealand? How many of you know about, you know, the land wars in the 1800s and what we went through? How many of you know that it was illegal to speak our language in school? How many of you know about what we lost? No one.”

Marc: “Of course not.”

Taika: “But you’re expected to jump on someone's side, you know, whenever something's on Instagram or when something's like, you know, you need to be on the-”

Marc: “Right, when the global culture decides, when the momentum picks it, when the algorithm that dictates what we're supposed to know is important, decides collectively what is important and all of a sudden everyone's up in arms. I live in, this is an Armenian neighborhood and they've gone through horrendous history. I'm not real clear on it, but I respect the fact that like, all right, something bad happened.”

Taika: Yeah. Asking minorities to care about other minorities is, yeah, we should, but it's just a funny thing where it's like, You know, I understand a little bit like why some minorities. They go. Oh, okay. You're making a big deal about that. What about us?”

broke: criticizing taika for supporting israel or getting guz fired or being an absent father or [insert other thing there's no evidence of].

woke: criticizing him for executive producing the show that's been melting my brain for two years.

bespoke: criticizing him specifically for suggesting "this woman's work" for the soundtrack and thus making me cry every time i think about that scene.
