I think you've totally misconstrued realists point caused by a serious dose of hostility - "just because someone is Jewish does not automatically mean they are a Zionist or support genocide" but it also does not mean they are willing to risk everything to admit it!

Therefore, remaining silent like Caitlin has continually said, is just as culpable. If you stand and watch a building burn while people are begging for help and you refuse to call the fire dept, are you not just as responsible for their deaths?

It is a known fact Hollywood is owned and operated by the Jews. This goes back decades. Another example - Harvey Weinstein remained protected for how many years - when everyone in Hollywood knew but was to AFRAID to speak up? Why might that be? Meryl Streep even kept her mouth shut - whereas she had nothing to lose. WHY? What was she afraid of? The only one who has any sort of chutzpa is Susan Saradon. As the Brits would say bless her little cottons for standing up and risking it all.

Itis no different then the situation in Gaza and remaining silent for the sake of your career! I have said repeatedly I would be willing to sacrifice my own life if we here in the USA are eventually attacked for all we have done to exacerbate this genocide - if it meant the end to ever staring another war or facilitating one. Five Hundred thousand people have now been killed in Ukraine all because of us.

Everyone willing to kill and be killed - what wonderful thinking. It's Susan Sarandon (not Saradon).

I remember watching her host the Mythos series. That gave me a boner. She's had an envious career as an actress. I thought she was great in "The Lovely Bones". Has "chutzpa" for sure. Didn't like some of her brown nosing with Sanders when it was obvious he sold his movement down the river. But then, many of us were duped by him. So, *shrug*.

Did you know both her and her ex-husband were close friends with Gore Vidal?

I imagine she's been friends with quite a few remarkable people. The people she's known in her life because of both her long (varied) acting career and activism must be impressive by any standard - a rich soul. I'm jealous that she knew and she worked with Peter Jackson! Didn't know that about Vidal.

Hollywood being completely controlled by people of Jewish ancestry actually goes back to the very beginning more than a century ago. It was that way from day one. No one who knows any of the history of Hollywood would deny that unless they want to lie about it. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this subject will not be broached by a single person who walks up on that stage. No one is going to bite the hand that feeds and they have nothing to gain personally from doing so. Just the opposite. Personal gain is really about all those people care about anyway.

It may be so that they are in charge since 100 ago, but the tide was shifted with the movie Pawnbroker from the 1964.

Up till then the RCC (Roman Catholic Church - that I can't stand) were in charge what would be broadcasted on the TV (no explicit scenes, no kissing, no sex scenes or scenes that insinuate sex .. and of course ... no criticism of the church).

All of that changed with the Pawnbroker - story of the Holocaust survivor with lot of sex scenes in it - in the context of Nazi atrocities (rape and so on).

There was not single ONE institution, president, PM, Pope, that dared to ban a movie about the Holocaust.

Nobody dared and that was a (new) start of the porn industry after the WWII.

They don't even hide it that they are the originators and in charge of the porn industry.

During the C19 lunacy, children couldn't go to school or out to play, people were restricted to go out for a walk, banned and fined for going to the beach, but on the TV, all of the porn channels gave FREE access to the porn to EVERYONE.

BJ: All because of our governments that we have no control of at all because this is not government of the people by, the people, for the people, it is government of the people by the rich and powerful of a variety of religions and ethnicities for the rich and powerful of a variety of religions and ethnicities.

Folks, if you will take a minute to recall, a bunch of Hollywood celebrities condemned Israel’s invasion of Gaza and the wanton death and destruction it brought - Mark Ruffalo was one of them - and all of them were forced to sign a groveling letter of apology admitting they were wrong - so I’m afraid Caitlin has set the bar too high for this year’s Oscars. There won’t be any calls for Free Palestine going on at the Oscars. The movie and television industry in this country is dominated by Jews, as are the talent agencies, as is every other aspect of that industry.

Maybe Bernie could show up at the Oscars?

Sanders Rips 'Fiction' That There's Nothing US Can Do to End Gaza Carnage

"Of course we have the leverage," said Sen. Bernie Sanders. "We are funding the war."

An unlikely setting for the Bern. Rather like Benjamin Franklin as ambassador to Versailles.

I doubt that Susan Sarandon is nominated for anything, but if she is and wins, I bet she condemns the invasion of Gaza and won't apologize for it. I wouldn't.
