It really sucks that you can say the most wild racist shit about Muslims and still get big acting roles
Would it kill reporters to give Tovah Feldshuh's remarks on this topic some context? Adam Brody is not the one with a history of bigotry.

“One of the problems we’re having in America is that there are a lot of people who are still under the if-but-for Netanyahu fantasy” Ta-Nehisi Coates on the inherent racism of Zionism. From the powerful conversation between Coates, Tareq Baconi and Nesrine Malik last week.

Just listen to this. Then consider these polls: 76% of Jewish Israelis think there are no innocents in Gaza (Aug 2025) 82% support expelling Palestinians from Gaza (May 2025) 47% support killing all inhabitants of conquered enemy cities (May 2025)

I wrote in December about AIPAC shifting its strategy to go underground. Now they’re making it official
SCOOP: AIPAC will no longer endorse congressional candidates or earmark donations to congressional campaigns. The group's super PAC, United Democracy Project, will continue to operate and it will urge members to donate directly to pro-Israel candidates. jewishinsider.com/2026/10/ai…

Performing in a secure U.S. base… wild indeed. 🙄
50 Cent & G-Unit performing live in Iraq for U.S. troops in 2004. G-Unit was so big at the time, they were performing in a war zone. One of the wildest moments of their run.

Meanwhile @thr themselves published this article of Cohen and others slamming Tik Tok for not censoring coverage of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. hollywoodreporter.com/news/g…
Sacha Baron Cohen on suspicion that the calls for a boycott of his new film, 'Ali G: Who Iz I?,' are tied to his past support of Israel: "Well, I haven’t said anything about Israel. I think people are being portrayed as things that they are not on social media and it’s problematic. We are in a world where people can’t distinguish between facts and lies, and that’s something that I’ve spent a lot of the last few years trying to fix. For example, I co-founded a group called Stop Hate for Profit with the NAACP and Color of Change and the ADL and certain other civil rights groups to stop the misinformation and incitement of racism on social media. So, I’m not surprised that prominent Jews are being targeted. I knew that this was going to happen. The level of organization is surprising, but this is a trend of Jews being portrayed in certain ways and trying to be silenced." bit.ly/4BpPgkz

"I haven't said anything about Israel"? My guy, you literally produced and starred in a Netflix show glorifying a Mossad agent.

He’s the man who developed a character from Kazakhstan that sung “throw the Jew down the well, so my country can be free.” Baking in the trope that all Muslims hate Jews. @THR and @time are so gross for running this bullshit.

“Glass is not just another man implicated in the killing of Hind Rajab. He is the man who most likely gave the order to open fire,” said HRF Director General Dyab Abou Jahjah. The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed an urgent request with the US Department of Justice to investigate, arrest, and prosecute Sean Glass, an Israeli commander who committed war crimes and genocide in Gaza. Glass commanded the “Vampire Empire” company, which HRF says was responsible for the killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab, members of her family, and the paramedics who tried to rescue them. The foundation says its investigation places Glass and his troops near Hind’s vehicle during the attack and that he most likely ordered the troops to open fire.

The Israeli commander involved in the killing of 5-year-old Hind Rajab is now walking freely in the United States. His name is Sean Glass. The Hind Rajab Foundation is calling for his arrest and prosecution.

hmm that’s an interesting story for sure
Jason Alexander says he feared visiting Palestine as a Jew until 10 Palestinians protected him during an Israeli army raid in Ramallah “How much of a risk would I be taking as an American Jew walking into Palestinian cities? And Mohammed said, ‘The greatest dishonor that could happen to a religious Muslim is to allow harm to come to an invited guest’” “And he said, ‘Jason, if they had to, they’ll take a bullet for you.’ And what was so interesting about that trip is, we were having lunch in Ramallah with a bunch of actors and artists at a sort of outdoor restaurant” “And the Israeli army was conducting a raid on a bank that they thought had terrorist ties a couple blocks away. And they must have, to announce themselves, just shot into the air. And I remember 10 of those guys at the table surrounding me. And I went, ‘Oh my God, he wasn’t kidding. They’re not going to let me get hurt’”

I don’t even know what else there is to say anymore…
“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah. Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah. Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah. "The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him. Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.

To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.
This is @infinite_jaz rushing to help Heidi under fire from Israeli settlers slings

Not a single LAPD received a sustained complaint over cops violating protesters or press at last year’s ICE protests. This is despite the federal courts finding so much abuse against press that they issued a restraining order against the LAPD.

This story is bigger than a book simply being cancelled. Penguin Random House pulled Alana Hadid and Jenan Matari’s book about the Palestinian experience after clashing with them over how to tell Palestine’s story. Apparently, even a children’s book about Palestine needs a disclaimer making sure everyone knows October 7 was illegal, while the Nakba, occupation and decades of dispossession are up for editorial debate. Alana and Jenin eventually walked away rather than publish a version they couldn’t stand behind. Imagine having to fight a publisher just to tell your own people’s story. Thankfully, Palestinian-owned Interlink Books will publish it in 2027.

Mamdani supports abolishing ICE because he has no power to actually do so. He doesn't support firing Jessica Tisch or reducing the NYPD's budget because he actually does.
NEW: Mamdani has a policing problem & the ICE shooting in NYC only made it worse. Advocates say they want more than harsh words for Trump on ICE. And while his DSA allies have held back on pushing him too hard on policing, now they say they see an opening theintercept.com/2026/10/09/…
