More or less every single person in the US with more power than, say, Rashida Tlaib has already made peace with the destruction of Gaza and its inhabitants. Anything they say now, unless matched by action, is strictly damage control.
The official story is that there is a short list of men who can stop the starvation of Gaza with a word, and then the rest of the world, which has no say at all. It's intolerable.
The Israelis are holding trucks full of food outside while a whole population starves. And they're doing it thanks to the unified support of every element in mainstream American politics.
Not the kind of people who actually care about film, or its craft, or how an image persuades so it’s not going to work. If you can’t produce a Tony Scott or a Tom Cruise, you’re not getting a Top Gun. You give your Israel movie a synopsis like that, you’re not getting Munich.
New: Palantir's CTO and several early employees are raising money to launch Founders Films, a film and TV production studio that aims to "say yes to projects about American exceptionalism, name America’s enemies, back artists unconditionally, take risk on novel IP.”

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: "I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly."
The situation in Gaza has reached new levels of devastation. The population is starving, as Israel continues its attacks across the territory. Many Palestinians, including babies, continue to die of hunger and malnutrition.
BREAKING: The only meal hospital staff in Gaza were receiving — provided by World Central Kitchen — has stopped. WCK has run out of food. Doctors, nurses, paramedics — already collapsing from exhaustion — now have nothing to eat. They are saving lives while starving. This is…
Eric Adams understands that people in municipal government must answer to “a senior official in the Turkish diplomatic establishment.”
MAYOR ERIC ADAMS FRIDAY MORNING ON BLOOMBERG: “We have people in government who believe they answer to no one. And if you believe you answer to no one, you can do whatever you want. That is unacceptable — and it should outrage every American.”
Damascus is now the 4th Middle Eastern capital to be bombed by Israel in the past 6 weeks, alongside Tehran, Beirut, and Sana'a.
Again, it has never been easier to campaign against police power strictly on the basis of "they are corrupt and their power makes good governance impossible"
