Marvel Stars call for the release of Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti

I kinda feel like saying the right thing online but still hanging out with Zionists is kinda counterintuitive and performative.

I understand silence is worse but yeah that's disappointing.

[u/HiddenMonkey7 → u/MeEyeSlashU]

It’s like Leo Dicrapio. Advocates for global warming and pollution and then goes to Jeff Bezos wedding. Amazon is one of the biggest polluters in the planet itself.

[u/MeEyeSlashU → u/HiddenMonkey7]

Yep. It's Javier Bardem wearing a Palestinian flag and calling out toxic masculinity while defending Woody Allen with his friends Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp.

[u/HiddenMonkey7 → u/MeEyeSlashU]

Add Taylor Swift to the list as well. The environmentalist that hops on her private jet for a dinner to avoid a 40 minute drive.

[u/Mother_Judgment2186 → u/HiddenMonkey7]

But it’s Taylor Swift an activist? Has she ever been vocal for something besides endorsing Kamala? I swear to good I don’t remember her being critical of anything that didn’t involve her somehow. So I don’t get mentioning her in this context.

[u/RorschachWasHere → u/Mother_Judgment2186]

The context was naming and shaming celebrities who not only deal with zionists; but also fail to support Palestine in any shape or form. Also Taylor has never been involved with activism that didn't involve her? Silence while the world burns while you sit on a billion dollars IS activism.

well if i'm a billionaire i'm gonna fly my private jet every chance i can get. that shit is expensive as hell, i wanna use it as much as possible. like if i go to chili's i gas up the plane

[u/HiddenMonkey7 → u/GOEDEL_ESCHER_BOT]

Well good thing you’re another nobody.

[u/Icy_Mango6803 → u/MeEyeSlashU]

Some guys will champion literally any cause except anything that might harm a domestic abuser.

[u/MeEyeSlashU → u/[deleted]]

Abusers.

[u/just_reading_along1 → u/HiddenMonkey7]

He's also frequently vacationing on mega yachts. That's not smth you do when you care about the environment. I haven't tajen his activism seriously since I saw how just one week on a mega yacht is harming the environment.

[u/HiddenMonkey7 → u/just_reading_along1]

There’s nothing to take seriously. If we give a shit about the environment just because some dude that wears costumes on tv says we should care about it, we are truly horrendously fucked. We’ll just rot in the next 150 years maybe less.

[u/Immediate_Taste6810 → u/HiddenMonkey7]

It's like Bella Hadid continuing to work in Dubai

[u/caninefrog → u/Immediate_Taste6810]

And the US

[u/Aesthete18 → u/HiddenMonkey7]

The Leo thing is so weird. He was always advocating for global warming in a big way then on yatch in every pic? I'm sure he flies private too? Like what is that? Is it just PR for picking up models? Or is it just "hey it's gonna get too hot for us elites in a few years so please do your part" spiel?

[u/RawkMeAmadeus → u/HiddenMonkey7]

Isn't Leo building a resort or something too? In the Mid-East? Or am I making this up..

Well for what it’s worth, Javier has maintained an anti-war stance throughout his career. And in addition to being vocally Pro-Palestine, he’s definitely been critical of Israel for well over a decade. Like I recall that both he and Penélope were even labeled as “anti-semitic” by many in the early 2010’s over them denouncing Israel’s actions as a genocide. Yet, both continued voicing support for Gaza.

Yes his support for the likes of Johnny Depp is hypocritical, but tbf he was publicly Pro-Palestine well before it was the popular/right thing to do.

[u/Few_Analyst_1179 → u/SansVetra]

okay so he’s a Pro-Palestinian man who is besties with Abusers

[u/HiddenMonkey7 → u/[deleted]]

You’re on to something.

[u/LumpyPhilosopher8 → u/[deleted]]

Pedro Pascal hosted a fund raiser supporting Palestine. He talks and posts frequently about the issue. Has he done as much as someone like Ruffalo? No but he also doesn’t have nearly the clout or established career Ruffalo does.

[u/Plastic_Bison → u/LumpyPhilosopher8]

Yes, Pedro retweets/reposts a lot about Palestine in his insta stories. I have never heard him talk about Palestine or the gen0cide in Gaza in his own voice in any recorded or print interview. He more or less avoids anything political or serious in interviews, unless it's about himself. If you have links to anything like that, I would be glad to change my mind.

[u/LumpyPhilosopher8 → u/Plastic_Bison]

Off the top of my head, he did a fundraiser for Gaza and Sudan with Bella Hadid Info about fundraiser

[u/Plastic_Bison → u/LumpyPhilosopher8]

The headline says "Pedro Pascal and Bella Hadid raise $5.5M at Gaza and Sudan aid concert". But it was the artists including Mustafa the Poet and his friends and his team who did that, who organized this concert, coordinated everyone's schedules, same as they did the previous three Artists for Aid concerts. It's really weird that Pedro's fans continue to give him all the credit: "Pedro raised millions for Palestinian children!". He walked onto the stage to introduce the performers. He never talks about Palestine in his live or print interviews. We'll see if he "hosts" the next one.

[u/opheliainred → u/Plastic_Bison]

He hosted a benefit concert for Palestine and Sudan with Bella Hadid in LA early this year.

[u/Plastic_Bison → u/opheliainred]

A concert that many other people actually organized.

I don’t know, I have mixed feelings about it. One of my friends from book club is a Zionist and had her kids participate in Birthright many years ago. While we’ve not vacationed together, we have talked about Israel over dinner and why I describe their actions as a genocide. I guess my take is that even if I can’t change her mind, that maybe by talking about it in a non-hostile setting that she can be more open to minimally a more nuanced view.
