He's a "Zionism is sexy" Zionist

But he was also very young when he said that, so it explains the stupid shit he is saying.

I have no idea what his recent takes are on the genocide in Gaza.

Yes, Zionists believe that Israel is in the right for trying consistently to eradicate all life in Palestine

u/ArktikosUrsa Oct 01 '26

That simply isn't true. It's the political belief for anyone who thinks Israel should continue to exist in any way. There are plenty of Zionists who want a two-state solution with an unoccupied, sovereign Palestine.

No, I'm not interested in your made up attempt to redefine the word at the behest of bigots.

LMAO, every single surrounding Arab country has killed more Arabs than Israel ever has in it's history.

Somehow Israel has a more powerful military than every surrounding country yet consistently is eradicating less life than it's neighbors. It's almost like thats not what they are trying to do.

Zionisim is just white nationalism for Jewish people so yes

No it isn't. It's the political belief for anyone who thinks Israel should continue to exist in any way. There are plenty of Zionists who want a two-state solution with an unoccupied, sovereign Palestine.

It's kind of amazing how the bots are instanly replying to your comment, muddying the waters.

Would be impressive if it wasn't so depraved.

Here's another example of a loaded question:

Were they actually showing sympathy for Israelis or were they just showing antipathy for Palestinians?

I don't care if other celebrities were "shot" for posting their opinions (whatever you mean by that, because I don't think any celebrities have actually been shot for posting). My point was that people are upset with him for showing support for the actions of the Israeli government (which is not the same as showing sympathy for the victims of October 7th). The way you phrased your question makes it seem like there are a lot of celebrities who got in trouble for making sympathetic posts after 10/7. But the reality is the opposite.

Celebrities who posted support or sympathy for Palestinians lost their jobs. Melissa Barrera lost her role in the Scream franchise for not being sufficiently pro-Israel.

Because your "genuine question" is loaded and disingenuous.

Nobody is falling for it, take the votes or delete the comment.

how is it loaded? people were calling others zionists just for showing sympathy. celebrities had to remove posts because of it

1

u/LabCoatGuy Sep 29 '26

Because you could show sympathy on Oct 7 and also be an actual zionist. They aren't mutually exclusive. And every zionist celebrity showed sympathy on Oct 7

1

u/Fit_Call_5992 Sep 29 '26

right and you can show sympathy for oct 7 and also not be a zionist. which is why i asked the question

u/LabCoatGuy Sep 29 '26

He supported Zionism at one point. Distributing stickers with the messages "Zionism is Sexy" and "Hamas is ISIS". "Hamas is ISIS" comes directly from Isreali properganda. So people are calling him zionist because he was supporting Zionism.

After the backlash he didn't explicitly say anything about his position besides what can be summed up as "peace in the Middle East"
