Should I Boycott This Due To Seinfeld's Support For The IDF Slaughter Of Innocence People?

Please. Save your political pandering for the appropriate forum (i.e. politics). I'm hoping to propagate an interesting discussion around ethics / morality here, and how we should deal with artists holding questionable beliefs. Not indulge in usual juvenile faeces slinging seen around here.

If you want to play with the big boys, please do make a sensible comment. Otherwise, slink off back to your usual pit...

For more information on the ACTUAL topic here, please re-read the posts and replies above.

You mean you actually know the Middle Eastern history? thats great ,
I've been trying to get to the bottom of this for years!

So who started this Israel / Palestine squabble and when?

Thanks for making the only legitimate reply to this topic thus far 👍

And just for clarity though, I'm not anti Israel per se. Just what is being carried out in their name at the moment. And the fact that Seinfeld allowed himself to be photographed with IDF weaponry was just a little too much for my neutral perspective.

Polanski was guilty. Woody is innocent.

I don't know that what Polanski did was especially horrible, as apparently the story goes the 13 year old girl whose mother gave her, or pimped her to Roman Polanksi ... I mean, what do you say or do about that when someone's own mother runs her life and family like that? The crime Polanski was guilty of was fleeing justice as well.

Poor Woody is accused of what seems to be a ridiculous crime of decided to molest his pre-pubescent daughter one time in an attic in a house full of adults and children in his 50's with no history of such criminal activity. The hate of Woody and Jews is something that took hold in the media and keeps getting repeated and refreshed and even embellished with more and more nonsense.

As for Israel/Palestine, there is no genocide happening. Life is being made very difficult for Palestinians because of their support for Hamas, and the fact that they are being used as hostages to protect Hamas fighters. The information and videos are out there. There is actually more food trucks going into Gaza now than before the war because nothing else is being allowed in but humanitarian necessities.

The videos of Palestinians partying it up and eating, and Hamas fighters hijacking the food trucks. The realities that the Hamas reported death tolls are exaggerated by as much as 50%. Now they are finding that the mass graves are Gaza civilians who tried to stand up to Hamas to get rid of them.

Westerners are not used to and do not want to accept the staggering size of the lies and propaganda Hamas is in control of, and many Americans hear two sides of any story and want to imagine reality is in the middle - but that just ain't the case when it comes to this conflict, virtually everything that comes out of Gaza serves Hamas, while Israel controls the war zone - Israel proper has many many free press papers and channels and their people, including Arabs are free to report and editorialize.

Again, nothing to do with the topic at hand.

But I do love the required deliberate attempted conflation of Palestine / Hamas. It's very much a key tactic and you've got to respect the dogmatic approach to this as a means of allowing people to dehumanise Palestinians and turn the other cheek to their deaths / land theft.

Hamas has genocide of all Jews on their charter. Because they hate Yahweh and His chosen people. God foretold in the Bible that he would reestablish Israel and when it happened in 1948, the Muslims living there were devastated. They should take it up with Yahweh.

Exactly.

I don't suppose I would boycott something like this with an expectation it would change anything.

I appreciate the majority of people are simply indifferent. It's more just a case of personal ethics.

Out of interest though, what are some examples of your own separation of art from artists?

... Okay, I'm going to tread carefully here to try to avoid strawman traps!

Are you trying to say it's a cesspool because they cannot help but post such irrelevancies to the topic here?

Or it's a cesspool because they post comments like that apparently oblivious to the fact that has always been the case and therefore highlighting the fact only throws shade on Israel's security failings which have costs tens of thousands of people their lives and millions their homes?

I appreciate you DIDN'T actually say either of these things, I'm just looking to find out what you were getting at...
