Makes fuck all difference trust.
I knew it. Life is full of false promises.
I suppose in hindsight it would be sensible to just pop a window.

The Olympic torch 70-day relay across Britain is being heralded as a moment for celebration.
The International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge said the relay will “promote peace and to make our world a better place”.
There’s just one problem with that—the modern torch relay was invented as a Nazi propaganda tool.
A flame was lit during the ancient Greek...

Why Marxism and Zionism oxymoronic?

arielnietzsche:
This is in response to Pappe’s view on how Marxism has motivated many Zionist, which I did point this out but fuck you, you guys don’t read shit.
Though there were in fact many Marxist Zionist—Labour Zionists, who advocated for a Jewish nation yet was against capitalism, there were the Bundis, who were opposed to a Jewish nation in Palestine and called up a...

An Israeli soldier tries to arrest a Palestinian boy at gun point in Jerusalem and a female activist intervenes, body checking the armed soldier, giving the boy a chance to run away. Now THAT’s what I call solidarity!! :)

I think Cohen himself join a Zionist group when he was little called Habonim Dror. I guess he is also of Israeli descent. He is still a active member of the Zionist group Habonim Dror.
The still an active member bit was all that I was looking for :)

Does it matter what he is personally if his films produce racist tropes that fit Zionist narratives?
Yes, because there’s a difference, external to just SBC, between labelling somebody as a zionist versus critiquing what they do in its contribution to the zionist hegemon. That difference is fundamental and important. Outside of just the matter of...

“Baron Cohen first acted in theatrical productions featuring the Socialist-Zionist youth movement Habonim Dror.” from wiki page, dunno if absolutely legit.
Yes. And if you’re a Jewish kid from a Jewish family in a Jewish community within the UK, and you’re into acting, that’s...
Is Sacha Baron Cohen actually actively zionist? I gather he’s lived in Kibbutzim and has family in Israel, but that in itself doesn’t mean the Islamophobia and Orientalist racism in The Dictator is a part of some “zionist agenda” and claiming it is seems somewhat problematic.

Denying somebody something of yours is not “oppressing” them. It may be selfish, greedy, immoral, or whatever depending on the circumstances and relevant norms, but calling it oppression is dumb.
Claiming resources and private property (you know, under that boring Marxist definition) to be yours is more the problem. Rather than denying...
