“After an article reported that Rachel Zegler “trashed” the production of Disney’s Snow White due to her stance on Palestine, thousands online are applauding her vocal stance this week despite the pressures of working with Disney and former Israeli army soldier Gal Gadot.”

    Saying “free Palestine” does not equal “down with Israel and the Jews”. Wanting freedom from oppression for one group is not an endorsement of violence or oppression against another.

      down with Israel and the Jews

      See, now you lost all credibility. There’s no honest reason whatsoever to add “and the Jews” to that sentence.

      Israel is not “the Jews”.

      While that may be true, nobody saying “free Palestine” has a positive view of Israel, do they?

        I don’t have a positive view of a lot of countries, especially ones that are actively murdering men, women, and children but I am not advocating for the destruction or death to the inhabitants of those countries.

        You are making yet another false equivalency. “Please stop murdering people and grant them freedom from oppression” does not equate to “I wish to see you and everyone around you dead”.

        While that may be true, nobody saying “free Poland” has a positive view of Germany, do they?
