“As someone who plays a lesbian journalist on ‘The Morning Show,’ I am more offended by it as a lesbian than I am as a Jew,” the actress said at another point in a new interview.

Her argument is basically Hamas hates gender equality, so if you support gender equality, you should be down with killing Palestinian civilians getting bombed to hell?

Does she not really understand that you can be against the intolerance and war crimes of both Israel AND Hamas?

A large portion of the population is incapable of understanding any conflict where there isn't a clearly defined "good" and "bad" side. In their eyes whichever side did The Worst Thing is Bad, and thus the other side is automatically Good and anything they do is justified.

These people vote by the way, just in case you thought you might be able to sleep tonight.

There is a conversation to be had about antisemitism in the Black community (the Black Israelites come to mind), but holy shit is this not an effective way to have it.

Disappointing to hear the racist rhetoric coming from someone who is decrying racism. I think she could learn a lot from just going over what she actually said. Perhaps she would hear the hypocrisy of her words.

Israel can fuck right off, and so can Juliana Marguiles, says this member of the “Entire Black Community.”

“The reason is, people hate Jews,” Ostroy said. The host then briefly expounded upon the pervasiveness of antisemitism before concluding, “You know, if we use the wrong pronouns on college campuses, there’d be an uproar.”

“Oh my god, forget it,” Margulies answered. “It’s those kids who are spewing this antisemitic hate that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country—these people who want us to call them they/them, or whatever they want us to call them...

Wow. What the fuck, lady.

She isn’t wrong that Jews are the first to speak up when there’s injustice. Jews have been speaking against the occupation of Palestine since before it was occupied

A quote from the esteemed Margulies: "Because I wanna say to them, ‘You fucking idiots. You don’t exist. Like, you’re even lower than the Jews. A, you’re Black, and B, you’re gay, and you’re turning your back against the people who support you?’ Because Jews, they rally around everybody.”

And this is why we listen to actors on all the important issues I guess. Fucking bigot.

Being an actor has nothing to do with it.

"when we first lived in Israel, way before anybody else" I don’t believe that’s true.

Also Interesting that she points out a massive generalization by making a massive generalization.

“when we first lived in Israel, way before anybody else” I don’t believe that’s true.

Was gonna say, what I learned while growing up in church indicates that Canaan might like a word.

The story of the exodus out of Egypt might be full of crap- there’s evidence suggesting most Israelites were (and always have been,) in the area. There’s some indication migrants, if one form or another, may have contributed the exodus story to the broader Israelite culture.

That said, even with that bejng true, Palestinians have also always been there. And we look at hatfields and mccoys as being an epic feud.
