Please, if you care about Palestine, please boycott The Chosen.
🍉 Masterpost with links to help Palestine 🍉
For those who dont know, The Chosen is a biblical series about the life of Jesus of Nazareth and his disciples. A series about palestinian jew, who grew up in constant displacement, who fought in a pacifist way, against the roman regime during their colonization of Palestine.
He was heavily against the abuse of authority, the inhuman mistreatment of people , helping the poor and sick, gave a hand and ate with outcasts, never turning away from people who needed aid.
Palestinians are currently, and for the past decades facing constant displacement, abuse of unrecognized authority, falling to sickness and are in much needed humanitarian aid.
A series about the life of a historical palestinian jewish man should not be created and acted out by zionists.
The confirmed list of cast memebers suporting Israel are:
Dallas Jenkins (Creator, producer and writer)
Elijah Alexander (Actor, in the role of Atticus)
Shahar Isaac (Actor in the role of Simon Peter.) He was called into the Israeli military to participate in the genocide and was spotted in recent days in London for the S4 premiere)
David Amito (Actor in the role of John the Baptiser)
[The list will be updated until there's confirmation of other people or statements issued from other cast and production members]
Still, just because the episodes are free on their app, does not mean its fine to watch them there. Nothing is ever truly for free. Especially when one of the cast members potentially has blood on their hands.
While the series has its own app from which to watch the episodes for free, theyre still going to reléase the episodes on theatres starting on February 1st.
The less views and users they recieve on their app, the better. Do not buy from their merch store. Do not go to the theaters and urge your friends and family who happen to be fans and are interested, to not go watch it.
Please, even if you are not religious, even if you've never even heard of this show before, please share this around. We cannot allow these people to make money, praising the life of a jewish palestinian (even if they don't want to admit he was) while ignoring what is happening in Palestine.
