    I haven’t read the article. There is absolutely no justification for going to Israel unless it’s to impede or protest genocide.

      It’s not that I disagree with you - I don’t - but your comment is my number one complaint about Lemmy. It’s a place to rant one’s fixed positions without discussion. To proudly share that you didn’t read the article and then barf your absolutist position… it’s not brave and principled. It’s dumb. Malkovich made some interesting and more nuanced statements on this subject which you didn’t read but I’m thinking at this point you wouldn’t be able to understand them anyway.

      You should read it before making blanket statements, regardless of my agreement with your point.

        I have read it now, and I regret reading it. It was the most predictable thing ever, once again.

        Summary: Self-absorbed artist and fan of Israel who is unmoved by genocide draws a line for himself only.

      I might go to defecate there and spread the pollution an airliner spews, but I wouldn’t spend a single cent there. Israel is lucky we dont consider them an enemy yet. And why we don’t is a mystery and a travesty.

          yep, they control the American media/propoganda machines as well. Journalism companies, facebook, Reddit and X too, and evidently ticktock is next. I wonder what they will do about lemmy instances. Its coming. I dont know how we get out of this.
