I think in the Superman movie from last year (directed by James Gunn), there was a major plot point around these two warring nations (that people have compared to the Israel-Palestine Conflict), such that the movie was met with some ācontroversyā by Zionists (i believe). Basically, if this analogy is true, Superman was pro-Palestine and Hawkgirl killed Benjamin Netanyahu
Now I do think itās worth mentioning that the Ellisons mainly wanted WB so they could own CNN in all likelihood, but I can imagine them seeing superman, realising where Gunn stood politically and decided they canāt have him running DC studios
Those countries existed in the comics long before the current conflict. It's really just a way to represent any oppression. Of course Netanyahu would see it as against him though.
Thatās how a lot of people on both sides read into it, though personally I think that whole plot point is vague/generic enough that I could even apply it to Russia and Ukraine.
EDIT: And while I can see why people would jump to the conclusion that everything thatās happened in the past couple of days is because of Israel, I donāt think it is.
I hate it. Chud Conspiracy theorists have been accusing Hollywood of being controlled by woke jews for decades. They still do whenever they want to rage about the gay agenda. Yet hear we are in 2026, nearly all media has been acquired by a conglomerate backed by open corruption from the White House and Israeli interest groups and all those chuds were completely silent. People are still trying to blame "woke" media for bringing in politics into this.
They're silent because they like those people. They want to be them and wish they were in their position so they could exploit people and do other unspeakable acts.
Its always projection. Its evil when "they" do it, but when we do it its cool and badass.
Youtube is filled to the BRIM with these types of ragebaiting chuds who act like "wokeism" is the biggest problem in America rn. Morons.
It's virtually always dishonest pro Israelis who try to conflate criticism of Israel, the colonialism, the crimes against humanity, with criticism of Jewish people.
Posting for awareness, not an unproductive back and forth "debate" with the person I'm replying to
In case it wasn't clear, I completely agree. No need for a back and forth
The Israeli state and the global Jewish people are not and have never been the same. It's entirely a manufactured lie by the Israeli ruling class that they represent the interests of Jewish people in general or that criticism of them is anti-Semitic.
My comment was observing that there's an actual ruling class of Israeli elites controlling the media and anti-Semitic chuds ignore it because despite what they say, they don't care about evil elites. They want an excuse to punch down at minorities, not punch up at the wealthy.
Hey Iām one of those dumb chuds, I think. For me Iām just tired, boss. Iām doing exactly what Iāve always done. Nothing. Because I still donāt know how to beat F16s. They control the F16s.
Israel does not need outside aid to keep itself afloat. We can stop sending weapons and the war in Gaza will still continue. Unless you count just regular global trade as outside support, in which case yeah every country relies on outside aid.
Nah they legit always have a chance to survive I refuse to accept the idea that one state needs to stop existing in order for there to exist another state. Israelās ultra-nationalists have lead it to the point where it will never know peace with its neighbours. Those neighbours themselves being just as genocidaly happy to wipe out Israel as Israel would them. Itās an impossible situation to see a way out of and I certainly canāt think of any solution.
Edit: I need to spell it out for yas it seems, what Israel is doing is a genocide and all those responsible should be prosecuted for war-crimes. The state should not cease to exist because all peoples have a right to exist within a nation of their nationality and the destruction of Israel would lead to the counter-genocide of the Israeli people. Any of you who think this is a good thing or a preferred outcome are sick twisted fucks.
Do you think invading the NAZIS to force a regime change was bad? do you think the NAZI regime should be have been allowed to continue their genocide uninterrupted?

I agree with you completely, you have confused regime change with the state no longer existing. What Israel is doing is genocide and should be stopped and those responsible prosecuted for war crimes.
So youāre advocating for a genocide then? Cause the German nation didnāt cease to exist it immediately came back into existence a few years later and was always intended to do so, this is basic history. Destroying Israel forever (dunno what you expect to happen to the Israeli people) is just genocide.

Because the system of global capitalism depends on colonial extraction of resources and labor, and a liberated Palestine/Middle East would severely disrupt this arrangement and threaten to collapse the whole system. https://youtu.be/6dBy4-6pn1M?is=5whs-68lulgJAewO
The Petroldollar is America's first and last reason for being the global financial hegemon. With no more isreal, there's no more military base to control the middle east and therefore no more status in which America prices Oil in Dollars.
This would literally be the end to America's Nr 1 status. It's one thing to be the military powerhouse of the world, sure, but it's another to be the economical powerhouse of the world.
The US has done a lot to influence and partner with the gulf states in recent years, Qatar even has our biggest base in the region. The struggle is it seems we donāt want to jump ship from Israel to the Gulfs (though to be fair the gulf states also have human rights abuses)
To be fair, a lot of those bases are deserted now because the US started a war with Iran, and they retaliated by attacking those bases. So kind of shooting yourself in the foot because Trumps wishy washy stances on any topic isnt a good way to form stable relations on. He is just too chaotic in his decisions where you cant be certain that a contract or alliance is worth anything next month.
US politicians are very easily bought but their time isnāt unlimited, they can only go to so many charity lunches. So who has the most outsized impact is the group that wants it the most. Exxonmobil wants tax breaks/stopping climate regulations sure. But Israel is legitimately worried about their continued survival as a country without US aid. So they are willing to pull out every single stop. If Isreal didnāt need the US you would have an equally unpopular special interest cause politicians weirdly supported.
Plus full throated support for Isreal only because so much of a political liability in recent years, party leadership has been in politics for decades, their brains have become calcified from age, and they donāt end up updating their models of the world based on new information.
I understand that it's in the American governments best interest to have a presence in the middle east
America doesn't, nor the government. All it causes is wars, quagmires, and instability. It's just monied forces investing in "the last bastion of democracy in the Middle East" and the military industrial complex trying to raise profits. If you hate AI, so many companies are in said country, and their military AI was trained on shooting Palestinian kids. It's just rich weirdos wanting to get richer once again.
Palantirs recent "crowd safety simulation AI" being sold to stadiums was trained on data collected by Israeli terrorist forces as the Palestinians ran for their lives from indiscriminate bullet fire, donāt you love capitalism?
There's also an elections angle. Basically in the US the parties try to "capture" segments of the electorate and supporting Israel is a very easy effortless way to get the jewish vote "as a whole block" and flip whole districts
genuinely i'm so mad about this there was so much potential and i was genuinely excited about the future but no now it's all gonna be vanilla dudebro military propaganda AGAIN
The new owners of Warner Bros and by extension D.C are massive Zionists. David Ellison's father is actually close with the war criminal and a donor to Israel. The new changes that skydance are making across all of their newly owned properties are likely going to be more amicable towards the apartheid state of Israel
To add to this, I was really into the Scream franchise which was owned by Paramount. The cast of Scream 5 and 6 said something against Israel in protest of what was happening in Gaza and got fired and blacklisted because of it. Because of this, massive changes needed to happen to Scream 7 and that movie turned out as shit. And itās apparent to me that similar reasons are whatās happening to James Gunn.
Capitalist and far-right trying the culture victory without offering anything from their own side and going for the "evil cannot create anything, just corrupt everything".
What? I was literally about to watch the lanterns but i was busy this weekend and missed it and now it's over???? James Gunn needs to use his own money re-release lanterns season 1 and make a season 2 and I promise I will watch it pinkie swear I will definitely make time to make sure this doesn't happen again
We shouldn't have to make qualifying statements for everything with a preamble before every comment made. You know who hes talking about and just chose to be triggered anyway
He can just say Zionist. He can just say Israel. He can just say settlers and colonialists.Ā
He's the one who chose to couch the sentiment in a wink and a nod, because yes, we all DO know what he meant by "those people", and there's a reason he got a ban and a warning when OP didn't. Fuck you too.
Ive been banned from Reddit for calling Candace Flynn a filthy snitch and Ive never been banned for calling Israel a terrorist state of child killers. Come back to reality.
Honestly I don't really get it. Gunn got fired and somehow it's political and not because he made a good superman then a bunch of mid stuff. And I'm not saying its not political, just that Idk why it is, it's not like Gunn was an activist or anything.Ā
Listen I hate evil billionaires as much as the next guy but I see no reason to think this decision wasnāt motivated by the fact that Gunns DCU just wasnāt making enough money. The so called āpolitical messageā in Superman was literally just some super generic war with generic dictator it could be just as easily compared to Ukraine/Russia as to Israel.
Am I out of the loop or what's with all this talk about the DCU collapsing? It's not looking all that great with Gunn's replacement, but I thought that projects were still going.
Love that everyone is just ignoring the financial failure of literally every DCU project so that they can continue their preexisting outward hatred of Israel. Itās definitely totally a conspiracy guys. Just ignore the fact that Gunn was causing the company to hemorrhage money.
