This is the first I'm hearing that Biden has the hostages. It is pretty fucked up that he won't let them go ngl
All locked in a room while he tells them stories like the first time he drove a Camero.
Listen, Jack, ihm ahinth schm nh hstggs hmgmm tshe kllmhhhmmm Israel gets to do genocide ahhrgt
Sacha Baron-Cohen of all people did this?
You mean the celebrated comedian whose most famous schticks are the generic Muslim Middle Eastern dictator who is terrible in every way and the Central Asian anti-Semite who is sexually deranged and borderline uncivilized?
Why, it's almost as if this was inverted and a Muslim man from the Middle East played a grossly stereotyped depiction of an Israeli Jew for cheap laughs that there would be an immense outcry against what clearly amounts to open bigotry and racist caricature...
To his Credit, SBC also played a grossly stereotyped Israeli for laughs as Elan Morad
I think there's a discussion to be had about satirising the in-group vs satirising the out-group, especially when it comes to how privilege intersects with this stuff.
Obviously there's the whole both-sidesism thing and also how equal opportunity bigotry primarily serves the interests of the dominant groups.
I think the main joke about Elan morrad isn’t how racist Israelis are though- but it’s certainly a part of the setup.
the joke is that Americans can be conned into insane Islamophobia because they worship the Israeli “security” apparatus.
Yeah but only because it made the Republicans buy into his schtick.
He also played a very funny gay Austrian in Bruno but everyone forgets that.
Imagine if SBC had better politics and he used that character and his brand of irreverence to get some real mask off reactions about the current situation.
Remember the end of the Chicago Seven when he did a revisionism stating that the USA system is the best and working within it is the only way to go?
It wasn't Sacha Baron Cohen who signed it.
It was Colonel Erran Morad.
Reminder he exploited and ridiculed deeply impoverished people in rural Romania while making Borat.
My Romanian friend says he is absolutely despised there.
Mr Hamas your fired
Brb gonna write a strongly worded letter to the king of Jordan about the overcomplication of German tax law.
Mr. Will Smith, Chris Rock is at it again...
if you take any kind of moral stand and find out the goop lady is a cosigner, maybe think about what you're doing
What Sarah Silverman out of weed?
I think she's just not popular enough to make it beyond "and more".
Really accomplished something.
Wait, when did Hamas claim responsibility for the ICE facilities?
Brave
They are in the Illuminati and thus know Biden is secretly the leader of Hamas
these liberals they have a week grasp of how hostage taking works. That or they think Biden runs Hamas
Critical support to Joe Biden in his war against Israel. Real dark brandon hours
i want to make a joke about like PFLP biden wearing a keffiyeh and hijacking a plane bound for tel aviv but it's actually insane that this fucking mummy is openly encouraging netanyahu to commit genocide and these stupid fucking Celebs are like "uhh sir mr president when are you going to tell Hamas to Stand Down sir" idk they gotta be cutting the adrenochrome with bleach or something
Can't decide if this or the celebs singing imagine in the beginning of COVID was dumber
That was tone deaf, but at least it wasn't trying to contain political content. Writing an open letter on behalf of the status quo to the president, and phrasing it like that is just so dumb.
No idea why but for a split second I thought Sacha Baron Cohen in that picture was Jordan Peterson
i saw the list before knowing the context and thought Epstein's client list finally leaked.
I already hated Katy Perry for her awful voice and queerbaiting, but I'll take more reasons to hate her.
They like mumbled okay when their publicist said they needed to do a thing. I don't know if that counts as real political action. We should all hate them for being libs, them doing lib shit is just kinds tedious though
if he does that he's gonna lose a lot of votes in Gaza.
lolwat
apparently the open letter has been signed by like 300 celebrities. not just this extremely weird collection.
here's the letter/list. find your favorite celeb!
thank god, no danny devito
with that large collection of names, i imagine there's a bit of a "we're adding your name to this list unless you tell us not to, and if you tell us not to... well, maybe you / your cousin gets dropped as a client" type of arm twisting going on. the MIC and hollywood are intimate partners after all, and our angry little puppet state is a very important client of the MIC.
the mechanism for blacklisting people has probably become a lot more clever in the last 60 years, not to mention a lot of big names know their fame is fragile.
over 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered - women raped, families burned alive, and infants beheaded.
they're really still trying to run with this shit huh, there's no evidence for any of that and the large majority of the 1,400 dead were soldiers
I'm just happy Seth Rogan isn't on the list, he came out against the apartheid regime amidst the whole eve fartlow thing and it's nice to see that he meant it
As for Jordan Peele, Eric Andre and Jack Black
Bob Odenkirk
Surely this will change the situation for the better.
Could they maybe do a song and a video together? That would really help
Imagine there's no Gaza
It isn't hard to do
No one left to kill
And no Islam too
Imagine all the zionists
Living life in peace
Looking at the people that have signed it, I have to assume it was the kinda thing were they don't really know what the contents were, and they're sorta being peer pressured a bit by their manager or whatever "Oh hey it's not really a big deal signing this, but if you don't sign this people are going to notice". It's the only way I can square still enjoying le funny "MY WIFE" guy.
I can believe this because celebs are fucking stupid.
Please keep the bombs coming Mr Biden sir
There we go, if the petition was actually honest
