He shouldnt have apologised. Israel has definitely been cribbing from the genocidal playbook, even if they arent there just yet.

It's largely more of the same thing that's been going on for a long time. Innocent people being fucked over by Hamas and Israel, with Israel intentionally making Palestinians suffer, Hamas lashes out in response and then Israel comes down hard.

Edit: Finding a summary without bias isn't the easiest. Really all you can do is read up on from several news sources to determine yourself, instead of repeatedly saying you've not been following in every topic about it and asking others to give you the information as it's likely to be biased towards that (Me, in this case) finds favourable or have much effort they can be bothered to put into it for you. I'd likely avoid the BBC's summary on it, as they've unfortunately been subject to bias on this (but are far from the worst and I think do provide an "alright" basic summary if you take this into account) for example.

Just a lot of "no comments". I'll take the hit that comes with that.

Notice how like no other high profile celebs are saying anything? They're terrified for getting shit on like Cena, Ruffalo, and Lebron.

No. Just don't say anything at all and keep the career-ending opinions to yourself is the right way to go about things with a profession like his.

Maybe the opinions shouldn't end careers? That sounds like hyperbole anyway. Cancel culture does not exist, after all.

its stupid not to, because your employer in the vast majority of states can fire you for your public opinions.

"It's legal" is not the brilliant response people ever think it is. It's also legal to not fire people for criticizing Israel, China, America, wherever. Or at least it should be. So everything being legal, is this good?

its legal means that if you're dumb enough to say something your workplace might not like then you're going to lose your job and have no way to stop it. liking it or not means fuck all.

I suppose so then. It is what it is. He's an actor first and foremost but if he chose to be an activist above all else, then he's allowed to be honest and upfront with his political views.

How do you think it's hyperbole if you admit yourself you don't follow the news on their conflict? There are numerous reports on the IDF when a member of them kills a teenage or younger protestor, numerous children have been killed in Israel's recent bombings where they claim Hamas has been, and show little care about the innocent people they main. Couple that with many being made homeless, lacking ability to get any care or basic resources then people are going to make very heated comments but it isn't without reason. And yes, Hamas is disgusting as well.

Of course, non of it excuses anti-Semitic remarks and Israel is separate to the Jewish people/faith but that doesn't mean we should tip toe around what Israel is doing and phrase the utter barbaric actions nicely. If you want to comment on the matter, actually read up on it rather than saying "I'm going to call you out on this matter I admit I refuse to look into".

Look up the recent photos of dead and maimed Palestinian children, of the homes ruined, of the conditions they are forced to live in. Read up on the news from whatever place you want (ideally several to avoid too much bias) and then return to the matter.

It's an absolute brilliant response when you're looking at things from a circumstantial point of view and not a moral one. You don't self-censor because it's the right or ok thing to do, you do it because you don't want to lose your fucking job.
