• Side note but I’ve been watching the Pitt, which is a great show, but one of the episodes has this Jewish lady talking about how she got hurt due to having a PTSD flashback from the Tree of Life shooting, but then starts talking about how she was in Israel during “October 7th”.

    Come the fuck one, it’s so forced when tv writers try to tie some Nazi fuckwad’s terrorism to Israel getting 0.00000000001% of what it sowed. Every depiction of someone Jewish on TV has to have some reference to loving Israel and is that not such an egregious act of exploitation? to whittle down a religion into a propaganda tool for some white nationalist project? and one where “being religious” means celebrating passover the same way americans will call themselves christians for celebrating christmas or going to church for a funeral?

    FUCK. I know its all propaganda bullshit but I’m just tired of it. Let Jews live in peace and let all the rabid fascists, who wear their faith like they skinned it themselves, face their judgement in whatever way it materialises

      Yeah it’s everywhere. Some rich fuck tells his underling writers to shoehorn it in.

      Mad Men was the worst about this and I stopped watching after that “israel” episode.

      You can invest all this time and money into making sure everyone’s wardrobe is fitting for the time period, but you want me to believe this old “israeli” woman has an “israeli” accent when she’s like 5x older than the country she’s supposedly from??? Trash ass hollywood trying to grant legitimacy by referencing shit in the media.
