YOU CANNOT BE A TRANSFORMERS FAN AND BE ANTISEMITIC
Henry Orenstein and Bob Budiansky were two Jewish men who helped create Transformers. Henry was a Holocaust survivor who died in 2021, may his memory be a blessing. Bob is still alive.
Hasbro was founded by three Jewish brothers, Henry, Hillel, and Herman Hassenfeld
Many of the original G1 voice actors who voiced multiple major characters (from the top of my head, Corey Burton, Michael Bell, Alan Oppenheimer, and Gregg Berger) are Jewish
For their most major roles, in G1, Corey Burton voiced Shockwave, Spike Witwicky, and Brawn. Michael Bell voiced Prowl and Sideswipe. Alan Oppenheimer voiced Seaspray, Beachcomber, Warpath, and Breakdown. Gregg Berger voiced Grimlock and Skyfire. Corey reprised his roles as Shockwave and Spike in Transformers: Animated and also took on the roles of Ratchet and Megatron. Michael voiced High Tide in Rescue Bots and reprised his role as Sideswipe in Devastation after thirty years. I'm not aware of Alan reprising his roles, but he's more famous for voicing Skeletor. Gregg reprised his role as Grimlock a couple times.
A lot of the later voice actors, such as Max Mittelman (Blurr in Rescue Bots and RID 2015), Steve Blum (Starscream in Transformers: Prime and Earthspark), Neil Kaplan (Optimus Prime in RID 2001), Jeremy Levy (Bumblebee in Cyberverse), Carlos Alazraqui, Yuri Lowenthal (both voiced some minicons in RID 2015), and Tara Strong (Sari Sumdac in Transformers: Animated) are Jewish.
For more recent stuff, the voice actress of Elita One in TF: One is Scarlett Johansson, a Jewish woman.
YOU CANNOT BE ANTISEMITIC WHILE LIKING TRANSFORMERS. KICK ANTISEMITES OUT OF THE TRANSFORMERS FANDOM.
i was going to make a post about this, but the rise of antisemitism and how a lot of bigots use israel/palestine to say covertly antisemitic things by replacing âjewishâ with âzionistsâ is an easy way to see how a lot of far leftists are comfortably dehumanizing minorities and are happy to find a way to do so without mass backlash. now theyre doing the same with black ppl by calling us âlow information votersâ and other derogatory terms bcuz we dont support their favorite champagne socialist candidate of the month. and all this bigoted shit usually comes from white ppl or arabic ppl
The Black-Jewish political coalition has historically been constantly welded back together by the fact everyone who hates one of us ends up coming for the other
"At first I thought he was making a deep political statement, but actually it's just an empirical observation."
The Klan attacked Jews like it did Black people. My great-great grandmother had a Christmas tree specifically because the Klan would look in windows to see who was Christian. And if they didn't see one, they'd make their displeasure known.
The laws that impacted Black people also impacted Jews. Jews benefited immensely from Black activists passing laws against discrimination.
Black people and Jews (and Black Jews, but that goes without saying) have always had a common enemy. And we need to stick together to fight it.
I love this scene. The context is that Clawful has just admitted he doesnât know how to speak his own speciesâ native language and Lyn is so floored that she doesnât even have it in her to insult him; she just does this and offers to teach him how. Itâs probably the nicest thing she does in this show.
Committee to Protect Journalists says phenomenon 'vastly underreported' due to reporters' fears of coming forward; journalists self-censorin
Gazan journalists face beatings and threats while covering anti-Hamas protests and dissent in the Strip, forcing them to self-censor to ensure their safety, the Committee to Protect Journalists reported Thursday.
The media watchdog lamented that the phenomenon has been âvastly underreported,â noting that the Palestinian Journalistsâ Syndicate, the Palestinian journalistsâ union, does not publicize the testimonies they compile of Hamas attacks on reporters over fear of reprisals.
Gazan Tawfiq Abu Jarad told CPJ that he complied with a Hamas security agentâs warning not to cover a womenâs anti-war protest on April 27 in Beit Lahiya, adding that the agent told him he would be âresponsibleâ if his wife took part in the rally.
Jarad recounted that he was beaten and questioned in November 2023 by Hamas operatives in Rafah, who alleged he was âcovering events in the Gaza Strip calling for a coup.â
âI have not covered any recent demonstrations,â said Abu Jarad, who works for the Ramallah-based Sawt al-Hurriya radio station.
The reporter filed a complaint to PJS over the intimidation, which slammed Hamasâs infringement on press freedom.
Since late March, sporadic protests against the terror group, which has been the de facto government of Gaza for almost two decades, have taken place in the Strip, despite reports of Hamas attempting to detain and harm demonstrators, and counter to claims by the terror group that the protests are merely anti-war. Many of the protests have occurred in Beit Lahiya.
Before the war, anti-Hamas protests were also relatively rare events and were often suppressed violently by the terror group.
CPJ said the journalistsâ union, limited by the hesitancy of Gaza journalists to speak up publicly, only published the testimony of one other Gaza journalist, Ibrahim Muhareb, who was brutally assaulted last year by men claiming to be plain-clothed Hamas policemen.
Muhareb, a freelance photographer who was working from a tent outside Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, said he was set upon by agents and suffered deep head wounds in the attack.
âWhen I tried to contact a police officer in charge of journalistsâ affairs, they tried to dismantle my tent. When I resisted, they began assaulting me, by kicking me,â he said.
âI tried to speak to them calmly, but they began to beat me even more severely. They suddenly struck me with an instrument, causing me to lose consciousness, and blood flowed from my head,â he added. âSome colleagues tried to intervene, but they prevented them, literally telling them that âthe spy and the journalist are one and the same.'â
Muharab said that other journalists eventually managed to pull him away and took him to receive medical attention.
Mohammed Abu Aoun, a correspondent for Fatah-linked Awda TV, told CPJ he was set on by Hamas security agents in 2024 while interviewing a woman in Deir al-Balah who began insulting Hamasâs leaders.
âThe officers immediately took me to an unknown location and beat me,â he told the watchdog.
CPJ cited several other journalists who were prevented from covering certain events, but did not consent to their stories going public.
Ismail Al-Thawabta, the director general of Gazaâs Hamas-run Government Media Office, claimed to have received no complaints over intimidation regarding media coverage of the rallies, or any such measures from security agents in response to CPJâs queries.
Thawabta also claimed that Hamas has âfully opened the fieldâ and ensured journalists could safely and freely cover events in Gaza.
PJS head Nasser Abu Bakr told the committee that Hamasâs regime commits âmajor violationsâ against press freedoms, including âsummonses, interrogations, phone calls, threats, sometimes beatings and arrests, to harassment, publication bans, interference with content, and surveillance.â
Deputy PJS head Tahseen al-Astal said that journalists do not want to go public about their problems, feeling such stories would âpivot eyes from the war in Gaza.â
âMost journalists have begun to practice self-censorship in their writing to avoid any problems with security,â he added.
CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah expressed alarm over the âthreats, assaults and intimidationâ experienced by Gazan journalists.
âHamas must end its repression of the press and be held accountable for these violations. Journalists must be free to report without fear of violence, harassment, or retaliation.â
Throughout the war, the CPJ has mainly condemned the Israeli military for attacks endangering journalists in Gaza. In February, it said that 2024 was the deadliest for journalists in recent history, with at least 124 reporters killed, with Israel allegedly responsible for nearly 70 percent of that total.
Shortly after the report was released, the Israel Defense Forces responded by insisting that it does not intentionally target journalists in the Gaza Strip, while noting that many on the list are members of terror groups.
War erupted on October 7, 2023, when Hamas invaded southern Israel, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians. As they rampaged murderously through the region, the terrorists abducted 251 people, mostly civilians, as hostages to the Gaza Strip.
As funny as it is to see musk's own ai not complying with his bullshit about "white genocide" in South Africa i think it should turn your stomach to know that while so many people are jumping on the bandwagon to see it in action it is coming at the cost of polluting the air for a majority Black neighborhood and making it increasingly difficult for the people living there to breathe
The companyâs turbines â enough to power 280,000 homes â run without emission controls in an area that leads Tennessee in asthma hospitaliza
The turbines spew nitrogen oxides, also known as NOx, at an estimated rate of 1,200 to 2,000 tons a year â far more than the gas-fired power plant across the street or the oil refinery down the road. Thatâs according to calculations by the Southern Environmental Law Center, a nonpartisan legal advocacy group that focuses on the South, which used turbine manufacturer spec sheets to estimate xAIâs annual emissions and compare them with pollution that other South Memphis plants have reported to the Environmental Protection Agencyâs National Emissions Inventory...
Just three miles away is Boxtown, a secluded neighborhood that officially became part of the city of Memphis in 1968, the year that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel downtown. While the annexation had come with the promise of connecting Boxtown to municipal utilities, many homes still had no running water or sewage service as late as the 1970s.
Today, more than 90 percent of residents living in Boxtownâs ZIP code are Black, with a median household income of $36,000, according to the Census Bureau. Itâs also home to more than 17 industrial facilities â some of which share an industrial park with xAI â that release enough toxic pollution to require registration with EPAâs Toxics Release Inventory.
âI canât breathe at home, it smells like gas outside,â Boxtown resident Alexis Humphreys said through tears, holding up her asthma inhaler during a public hearing about the turbines on April 25. âHow come I canât breathe at home and yâall get to breathe at home?â
Is it wrong for one to filter Gaza / Palestine / donations content and/or tags so theyâre no longer visible to them?
Yes, itâs wrong. Itâs not okay to turn a blind eye when it comes to this matter
No, itâs not wrong. Itâs fine. Curate your internet experience however you want

Good news: I have a MNF who is leaving long, thoughtful comments on every single chapter of my fic! Bad news: I looked at their tumblr blog and they are deeply antisemetic. I want interaction, but I don't know what to do about this.
Honestly, I wouldn't care if they were leaving wonderful comments on my work. If they hate my people, and thereby hate me, I would just block them on both Tumblr and AO3. It doesn't matter how nice their comments on my fics are. If they're bigoted against my people then they don't get to enjoy my creative works. Its as simple as that.
(And I have blocked people who liked my work, specifically for being antisemitic on their linked socials. I practice what I preach.)
How do you solve a problem like Maria? Create an iconic movie about her conflict of love during the lead up to one of the most hateful eras. Then cast the amazing Julie Andrews with Christopher Plummer opposite.
The Prince of Egypt:
Literally breathtaking in animation/visuals, storytelling, music, emotion, everything. When I think "best movie musical" this immediately comes to mind even though there are others that mean more to me personally.
