you will not be surprised to learn that not only was the commercial spot in question not “about how we all need to stand with Israel”, but israel & palestine are not referenced or alluded to in any way whatsoever.
here’s the ad:
it’s not even an ad primarily about antisemitism. it’s a campaign called “Stand Up To All Hate” about standing up to racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, sexism, antisemitism, etc.—all hate, as the name suggests.
and, for a split second, there’s a kid wearing a kippah. that’s it. shaq appeared in an ad where a kid wears a kippah and that is what is getting him accused of “supporting genocide”

Everyone queue up this meme I made for next week
Crazy but not surprising how when hezbollah bombs civilian areas, the same people who are mad at Israel for exploding pagers which were only handed out to hezbollah members, are not upset at all.
Yall don't care about innocent civilians being caught in the crossfire. You at best want all Israelis dead (which would be a genocide as wanting a whole nationality is mentioned in the definition of genocide) and at worst you want all jews dead (which is still wanting a genocide to happen).
Adieu Alain Delon, an icon of french cinema and one of the most handsome men to exist (1935-2024).
Feels so surreal that it’s October again. Last October was simultaneously just yesterday and several lifetimes ago. October used to be my favorite month, but now I’m starting to believe that it will never stop being October, and it fills me with a gnawing sense of dread.
shana tova!
Alain in Le Samouraï (1967).
Jews: experience almost constant ethnic cleansing for the past two thousand years, so much so that the concepts of ghettos and diasporas were invented to refer to our circumstances.
Some shmucks today apparently: IDK, man, I feel like you guys haven't suffered enough. Also, you're white now.
