This is factual, and quite an important piece of context if you want to understand the very subject we’re currently talking about.

It reads as antisemitic when in a conversation about Palestine you've gone "rich people belong to the jews". 

Not all jews are supportive of the actions of the Israeli state government & military, so just throwing out that "jews run Hollywood" when trying to argue why celebrities are silent or pro-israeli isnt the direction I'd personally go.

Once again, it is about reading the room. We can’t say Hollywood is a bastion of defense when it comes to Gaza, can we? Why do you think that is? Why are we even having this conversation in the first place?

It’s all a little more complex than simply asserting « rich people are scum ». Turning a blind eye to context isn’t the direction I’d go.

We can all read the room though.

Rich people feel no identity or sense of belonging to those beneath them.

They protect one another because of class allegiance. 

So yeah. They are scum. 

And I look forward to the day they lose their status by choice or by force.

For sure. It's not so much that "Jews run Hollywood" as it is Israeli lobbies have spent decades meticulously building a favorable propaganda machine into American media.

Fat lot of good it did 'em though, even the vast majority of American Jews are disgusted at this point, let alone the American population as a whole.

Celebrities don't speak out either 'cause they're cowards, they're out of touch, or they simply don't care tbh.
