I checked, it is true:

There is no evidence it was done for political reasons, but it could be, because May Calamawy signed an open letter to Biden government urging cease-fire between Israel and Hamas during the development of this movie: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/21/1207783685/celebrities-letter-ceasefire-israel-gaza-biden

She was not the only one, Cate Blanchett, America Ferrera, Bassem Youssef, Jon Stewart, Dua Lipa, Hasan Minhaj, Oscar Isaac and Michael Stipe, etc. all signed it.

But she is Palestinian, that made it more politically sensitive, giving her a more prominent role could be considered endorsement.

nonsense, another conspiracy theory against israel

One more paid shill, clearly.

One more conspiracy nut, clearly.

I always thought that was you with another account, the same speech pattern, the same crassness.

reply

care to give evidence that israel is responsible for this? whats next? your gonna claim that israel control the us goverment like your fellow maga lunatics?

reply

No, I think Israel and US are controlled by the same group of Jewish billionaires, just have a look at the percentage of the Jewish in US cabinet you would reach the same conclusion.

In terms of foreign policy, the current secretary of state Blinken is Jewish, the expected Trump pick is Marco Rubio, who is also backed by Jewish groups, his "biggest patron is a past president of the Miami Jewish federation": https://www.timesofisrael.com/marco-rubios-big-jewish-backer-and-7-other-things-to-know-about-him/

wait a minute, arnt those jewish bilionares all democrat? what makes you think they love israel? because they are jews? lol, get real.

1. the majority of bilionares arnt jews, they just dont interest you

2. israel is the puppet state of the US goverment, not the other way around. there are american miliatery bases in israel, are there israeli milatery bases in the US? i dont think so.... someone here is coping hard and trying to make up conspiracies, yep bilionares control the world. what a shock. some of them being jews does not mean a damm thing. US back up israel because its their only puppet in the middle east.

israel is the puppet state of the US goverment, not the other way around.

Did I even say that? It seems you just ignore what I said and make statements of your own. It looks like you have a script to follow, and my response was not on it.

Anyway, that is another reason I think you are a paid shill.

Since this is not a sincere discussion I will leave you here.

You never heard of AIPAC and the millions they pore into election campaigns?

reply

When I heard Cori Bush got the boot my first thought was, "I wonder what the successful challenger's stance is toward Israel?" Sure enough, Wesley Bell has made numerous statements that make it clear he's a complete shill for Israel. Imagine that. What a coincidence.

reply

AIPAC spent $8.5 million to defeat her and support her opposition. AIPAC spent $19 million defeating another congressman who spoke out the genocide, too.

And the $4 billion in U.S. military aide and the U.S. is the only country still supporting Israel war crimes and human rights violations by vetoing all measures to end genocide, military aide and ethnic cleansing.

Biden and Harris literally gave up their chance to win the White House by supporting genocide. Genocide Joe sound familiar?

reply

Spot on. Not only that, but in a continued American effort to shield Israel from criticism (1984 style) the US Congress wastes its time passing declarations that officially expand the definition of anti-Semitism to include criticism of Israel. Even US congressmen and senators themselves aren't worthy of such protection (never mind conservative supreme court justices). The bill was written so broadly that a government titsucking lawyer would have no problem arguing that calling Netanyahu a war criminal would qualify as "anti-Semitic" speech, should the US government decide to go after you. And all of this having the purported motivation to protect the massive escalation of hate crimes against Jewish students on college campuses (a lie). Of course, the real motivation is to suppress as much as possible any political dissent that doesn't coincide with the US government's narrative of the day.

reply

That's true. And let's not forget that in many states it's illegal to boycott Israeli products as a protest against their racist regime. Boycotting is what helped end apartheid in South Africa.

Government contractors must also sign a document saying they won't boycott Israel in many states where they want to do business. Completely unconstitutional.

you're saying jewbags dont own hollywood?

>There is no evidence it was done for political reasons, but it could be…

Oh well then by all means start spreading unsupported wild rumors based on articles from untrustworthy clickbait sites.

Where there’s smoke, there’s a raging wildfire, right?

Oh, wait.

It could be a cigarette.

It could be somebody barbecuing.

Hell, it could be fog.

It could be something totally different.

But let’s call it a raging wildfire because it fits whatever unproven conspiracy you’re pushing.

Or maybe, in the end, they just thought she sucks as an actress.

Hollywood is heavily Jewish, this is an undisputed fact.

To make a movie, you need to get it financed, especially when the budget is over $100 mil. Financial cycle is also heavily Jewish concentrated (That is probably one of the reasons why Hollywood is heavily Jewish).

Combined with what she did, that is not a far fetched theory. And I am definitely not the only one thought of that, both articles I shared mentioned that theory. And a lot, I do mean a lot, of people on social media thought of it too.

Some people went further than I did: https://x.com/dariusacruxx/status/1858773100202225694

Or maybe, in the end, they just thought she sucks as an actress.

That could be as well. But if you think that is more likely, then I don't think you are being very honest to yourself.

Like I said it is a likely possibility, and there is nothing pointing to otherwise.

reply

Isn't she also part-Egyptian too? It's strange that they cut what was advertised as a major character, I agree. But until we get the email from Netanyahu himself urging Paramount and Scott to remove her from the movie, let's call off the antisemitic dogwhistling.
