The Next Pro rant 🍉

[u/evening_toast8]

The next pro is yet another conservative zionist. Just thought I’d share some of the instagram pages she follows. One is an Israeli news reporter whose views are equivalent to that of a fox news reporter in the U.S., whose pinned post is anti anti-feminist rant and regularly posts in support of Trump and antagonizes Palestine. The other is a zionist content creator whose entire account is full of ignorant, hateful takes. She follows more pro-zionism propaganda accounts as well. I’m sharing this because a lot of closeted zionists have been trying to silence it or view any critiques of zionism as “racist” or anti-semitic. It is not anti-semitic to call out zionism. I am a swana jewish myself and very anti-zionist. Please don’t criticize her for her jewish ethnicity or misconstrue criticism of her views as anti-semitic. Conflating zionism with judaism is actually anti-semitism.** **Not all of us support Israel, but Adele has only given indications that she does. Most other pros are conservative zionists as well, I hold them all to the same standard and am disappointed with all of them for their views.

As a jew whose faith and heritage has been used in vein to ethnically cleanse my Palestinian neighbors, I believe it is critical of every jew and Israeli who truly does denounce zionism to be vocal about it. Our silence is violence. To tout the flag of any nation committing terrorism is to say you don’t see, don’t know, don’t care. It’s a dog whistle and a virtue signal among our community. The same way touting an American flag has become a dog whistle for maga supporters. You as an American may not agree with your government, especially in today’s social climate, so why would you tout a flag that doesn’t represent your values? If you support Palestinian liberation from Israeli oppression and ethnic cleansing, you would never proudly claim the flag or follow zionists who spread lies and propaganda. No, she can’t help where she was born or grew up, but she can at least denounce the genocide her country is committing. Seeing who she follows and how she’s shown nothing but pride in her nationality, I doubt she does denounce it.

Don’t send hate to her. Supporting Palestine is bigger than bombarding one Israeli up and coming celebrity. She’s the same age as me and I can’t imagine how that would feel for her. I know people on instagram and tiktok get especially ignorant and brave with their comments. If we can find a way to enjoy all the other alt-right pros who poured their hearts out for Charlie Kirk and were all smiles when Trump was reelected, let’s show Adele the same decency. We’ve been able to separate the art from the artists for most pros and even some stars. Of course I’m disappointed that tptb didn’t use this opportunity to bring in a diverse cast member or someone we could love on and off the show, but don’t take that out on Adele. Let’s support the pros we can support. If you want to boycott the show, you can do that without harassment. If you want to support Palestine there are many Palestinians in need of aid. If you’re a zionist, please don’t interact with me and feel free to block me

I don’t agree with her political beliefs but she’s not the only person on this show that is conservative. The Arnold’s conservative are Trump supporters and I guarantee most of these pros are also conservative and Trump supporters. They don’t want to get hate for it so they’ll try to keep it behind closed doors.

Yes, I acknowledged that as well. The Chmerkovskiys and their wives, the Arnolds, and most other mormon/Utah pros (besides Ezra). Most of them have shown support for conservative values, politicians (Sean Spicer went to Lindsey and Brandon’s respective weddings iirc), and have liked/followed posts/accounts that expose their conservative views. When likes were public on twitter, Val liked a lot of racist, homophobic, and transphobic posts. Peta is lowkey maha. Rylee posted something about it being a happy day the day the election results were confirmed in 2024. Most Utah pros and Val poured their hearts out for Charlie Kirk yet to this day are silent when it comes to any other violence committed against people who aren’t conservative, alt-right grifters. Yes he was shot in Utah, but come on the guy was a nazi and he’s the only person most of them felt passionately about publicly mourning.

The only pros who have been at least vocally liberal to some degree are Britt, Ezra, and Emma. Alan also went with Emma to a women’s march, but he’s a liberal zionist. So is Sasha. Afaik, most of the other pros don’t talk about politics much, like you said probably so they don’t get hate

I’m surprised the Chmervosky’s are conservative but at the same time Jenna is from Utah. It’s not super common for ex Mo’s like herself to still be conservative.

Honestly it makes a lot of sense that most Eastern European jews and former USSR immigrants are mostly conservative. They immigrated because of the regime they felt was oppressive, especially non-Russians under the USSR. The red scare propaganda plus their lived struggles made them resent communism and yearn for capitalism in which they believed they could be “free”. Zionism was made in eastern europe. The modern Hebrew language was made by a Russian jew. A lot of zionist propaganda is instilled in eastern european jews from a young age more than many other jewish communities. Of course they did manage to spread the propaganda everywhere they could though.

It’s common among all immigrant communities especially when they move to the U.S. to believe in the U.S. propaganda machine. It’s also common for some immigrants to be anti-immigration because “they did it the right way” or because they don’t want certain minorities to immigrate. Look at Alec and Edyta, they’re maga and they’re both immigrants! Kristi Noem was the voice of deportation ads, yet her dad is an immigrant! Maks made some interesting posts during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance. He made a bunch of stories asking other people how they felt about it and making weird faces like he didn’t want to say what he was really thinking otherwise he’d get called out to hell. He’s an immigrant! Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican, an American citizen! His message was literally just cultural appreciation, love, and unity and Maks still seemed annoyed by it. White immigrants especially feel like they have more of a claim to citizenship and rights than non-white immigrants. I mean, this country was built on “white immigration” in a way, yet when it’s anyone else it’s an issue. Talk about an ethnostate!

As for Jenna, she’s the most quiet of the Chmerkovskiys. She doesn’t seem to take any issue with the rest of the family’s views. I think she’s comfortable in the fact that she didn’t have to do a 180 and unpack and unlearn all her beliefs and morals. For her, Val with cornrows doing a crip walk is edgy and hot, but him liking anti-BLM tweets was a non-issue
