To be honest, there's so much information regarding both sides I have no idea where to stand. It's all very overwhelming. That's why I haven't posted about it. 

it's not that complicated lol

[HIM820 1,841]

Lmfao HR initially reported that she was fired for making “Pro-Palestine” remarks, now changing it to “Israel-Hamas” 

I can’t believe the manipulation we are seeing in real time. Totally taking out her support for Palestine and instead align her with Hamas.

According some sources her exit may be not linked to her comment, let's wait for more update

We’re entering a new era of McCarthyism and the Hollywood Blacklist

Well, celebrities and public figures with which my values align have all supported different sides. And I've read what I can about it and both sides have killed and caused war. So it boggles my mind, which side is in the right.

Apparently that's the post that made her being fired

Western media does have a strongly pro-Israel bias. "I will let you deduce that for yourself" could be a bit of a dog whistle but in the context of ALL her posts clearly refers to the Israeli state rather than "Jews control the media"

What better way to prove her right than to twist the narrative, attempt to recontextualise her words, rewrite the story in real time based on critical reception, and get her fired over it tho

Nonsense. One of the biggest criticisms young people have with recent events is how few western news agencies accurately cover the atrocities and violence against Palestinians due to financial or political ties with Israel. Still a reach, especially when you read the rest of her posts.

well, it sounds like you haven't done enough research and should continue to do so because it's pretty clear who is the wrong and who is the right. it has been. for the last 75 years.

the neutrality is worse tbh.

I guess we won't be hearing "core 4" anymore tho lmaooo

She wasn't wrong that Jews control the western media?... So you agree with a centuries-old rhetoric of anti-semitism basically?

As you will be able to see the OP was edited and originally referenced what is now contained in this post below.

Perhaps put some effort in to check the chronology of posts and take a moment to reflect on whether I would say something so unreasonable before you start throwing accusations at me next time

Much appreciated

from PopCrave:

The comments that reportedly led to Melissa Barrera being fired from ‘Scream 7’ were: “Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp. Cornering everyone together, with nowhere to go, no electricity no water...people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.”

That is not why she got dropped.

She got dropped because she was hinting that Jews control the media, which is an anti-Semitic remark.

OK I understand that and that's not what my post was in response to because it wasn't the content of the original post at the time

Mess, they could even just drop the whole movie while they are at it

If she thinks that the media have a strong-Israel bias in their reporting, she should have written that. Now she is alluding to something more, which - regarding of your own stance - isn't a clever move.
