hey my fellow white sisters we got two Star Wars and Wonder Woman, Ghostbusters and Mad Max and when I watch them on screen I have openly cried in every movie every time because it feels so damn good to be represented as textured and powerful and respected so don’t forget how this love burns in your heart because we’re not There yet, but so many are even farther away so please, please don’t go thinking The War is over because we are winning our little battle as more white women get positions of power following Patty Jenkins, don’t forget that she used her platform to boost POCs, LGBT representation, mental illness depiction, and weight representation. She dropped a snowball, don’t let it stop rolling. please, white sisters, don’t let us become the new White Men

don’t morph into what you hate

This is just your daily reminder

That Gal Gadot has never ‘supported the Palestinian genocide’.

Does not have a rifle with the notch marks of all those she’s killed.

And has stated outright that she believes in coexistence.

She worked as a fitness instructor, never seeing combat during her mandatory stint in the Israeli army (IDF), and the only thing she said was that she wished luck to her former colleagues in the army (you know, the equivalent of ‘Support Our Troops’) and specifically wished them luck against (and condemned) Hamas, which is a terrorist organization.  Her tags then went on to note #stopterror and #coexistance.

You don’t have to like her, or Wonder Woman, or DC, but if you could keep the antisemitism out of it, that’d be great.

I’m gonna need some sources cause I’ve been very conflicted about wanting to go see the movie.

The text is a little small but here’s a transcript:

“I am sending my love and prayers to my fellow Israeli citizens.  Especially to all the boys and girls who are risking their lives protecting my country against the horrific acts conducted by Hamas, who are hiding like cowards behind women and children.  We shall overcome!  Shabbat Shalom! #weareright #freegazafromHamas #stopterror #coexistence #iloveidf”

So one more time:

In Israel, EVERY citizen is REQUIRED to serve in the IDF.  It is a mandatory conscription army.  So her involvement in the army wasn’t really a ‘choice’.  And she’s sending love out to other people, young people, who also didn’t really have a choice.

The only thing she ever condemns or supports their fight against is Hamas, which has been condemned as a terrorist organization by multiple countries with verified human rights violations and who has been known to obstruct efforts towards a peaceful resolution.

She objects to terrorist action and the killing of civilians.  She tags it ‘coexistence’ and ‘stopterror’.

Nowhere does she support Israeli dominance, or the horrific treatment of Palestinians.  Nowhere does she carte blanche support Israel’s actions; she just expresses her concern and is praying for the ‘boys and girls’ who are part of her country’s military in the face of horrific terrorist behavior.  Nowhere does she wholesale blame Palestinians for the conflict and in fact seems to be horrified that civilians are caught in the middle of this.  Nowhere does she wants to free Gaza from Palestinians; just a known terrorist organization.

She’s not being anti-black or anti-brown, she’s not being anti-Palestinian, and she’s definitely not giving a thumbs up to war crimes or exulting in the death of ANYONE.  She’s praying and supporting her country’s young people in a really awful, complex situation and she’s very clearly condemning a SPECIFIC organization instead of painting all Palestinians in any way.

The politics of the region are complex and obviously, there’s a lot of layers and conflicting information and feelings but like… someone saying ‘I love and am praying for people in a terrible conflict and want us to overcome it’ isn’t what a lot of people are making it out to be.  Is she directing her concern in one direction? Somewhat, yeah.  Can you object to the fact that she doesn’t outright say ‘I pray for Palestine’?  Definitely.  But there’s being more concerned for your own people and then there’s what people are making out she is and has said.

Like I said: dislike her or dislike Wonder Woman or have no interest in the DCEU, but the blatant exacerbation of this post and the additions people have made (about her being a sniper, etc) is just outright antisemitism, plain and simple.

So I'm not a Socialist (though I know cool people who are), but I'm also not a Capitalist. Can't we have something kinda in between? Like I'm cool with charging rich people more on taxes to support programs that keep people alive. We don't need massive income redistribution, just slightly higher taxes. Y'all rich folks can handle it.

Whatever we do, robbing from the poor to help the rich is a ridiculously stupid way of going about things.

Dropping Muslim Ban II and Obamacare repeal on the same day? Obvious distraction is obvious. Both are important; don't forget one when protesting the other.

So I can't fathom why 45 won't just disavow the whole Russia thing. It's obviously hurting him and his reputation, and it would be so so easy to just fire Jeffery Beauregard Sessions and make a definitive statement against Russia. Why not just do it? Of course I believe the obvious answer is that he has something to hide and Vald has something on him, but I'm worried this may be part of a long game war on the media. Imagine 3 months straight of the media publicly digging into the Russia stuff, making a bigger and bigger deal of it, and then — suddenly — 45 just fires Sessions and everyone associated with Russia and adds a bunch of Russian sanctions. That would be a yuge blow to journalism. And it would royally suck. 🤔 🤔
