“it is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state”
“I cannot work with somebody who justifies or supports the genocide. I can’t. It’s as simple as that, and we shouldn’t be able to do that. In this industry, and in any other industry,”
??? This is literally the official position of the Russian Federation — they consider Ukrainians colonizers who unjustly rebelled and stole Russian land, assets, and production.

I am not here to debate which genocide is worse, because plainly, Palestinians are suffering yawning abuses that would make even Mussolini blush. I am just saying that Palestine is not the only active genocide happening in the world right now. Ukraine can fight back; Palestine cannot. That is plainly on a different level. There’s no need to imply I am an idiot just because I pay attention to other stuff happening in parts of the world that don’t report in English.
