Who's been doing that?

Who's been doing that?

Anyone who keeps politics out of their day job probably?

[Mystic Mock]

I honestly don't get Hollywood Actors obsession with comparing things that they don't like to WWII, that's three times over the last few years that I've heard them talk like this.

However I don't support censorship, she shouldn't be losing her job just because she has an opinion on a topic that is very divisive in nature, not everyone sees Israel as the good guys in this conflict, and that is something that Hollywood has to accept.

everyone is entitled to their own opinions though


tbh i don't think her story in the franchise should've continued anyway (and btw Jenna has plenty of other work like the Wednesday series) this franchise needs more from Neve as the main lead tbh



fully agree with you Mock, okay Hollywood has a A-Lister israeli actress (Gal Gadot) but honestly they don't dislike the israeli people, they dislike the israeli government and its IDF (and tbh you can kinda compare it to WW2, their ways of bombing Gaza ain't exactly the best option here with minimum loss of innocent life, but Hamas show certain nazi traits either, those terrorists feeling superior over their civilians, not being shy of using those as human shields etc while their leaders are safely in Qatar)


its a no win scenario for outsiders to this conflict, whoever you support you will always get criticism


i don't support the israeli government and also not supporting Hamas ofc, i support the innocents on both sides

Tbh you do make some sound points that I can agree with.

In particular the final paragraph, I just want the innocent people on both sides to survive.

she just commented on how awful the situation in Gaza is right now



also Susan Sarandon is similarly entitled to speak at pro-palestinian rallies if she wants to
