The Radical Movement Rallying Around Mark Ruffalo
Today marks 25 years since America was shaken to its core on 9/11.
In four separate hijacked plane crashes, Al-Qaeda murdered 2,977 people.
We cannot forget the evil that led to these terror attacks, and we cannot allow the moral distinction between good and evil, victim and perpetrator, to be erased, no matter how hard propagandists try to blur it.

One of the many moving stories to emerge from the morning of September 11 took place in Gander, a small town in Newfoundland, Canada, that suddenly found itself welcoming nearly 7,000 stranded travelers after their planes were diverted and they had nowhere else to land.
In the days that followed, the people of Gander opened their homes, schools, community centers, and hearts to complete strangers at a moment of unimaginable fear and uncertainty.
Their remarkable story of kindness and humanity inspired the hit musical Come From Away, which tells the story of the thousands of passengers who unexpectedly found refuge in this small Canadian community in the aftermath of 9/11.

Apparently inclusion means something different to Adidas.
The German sportswear company issued an apology for featuring an Israeli in their shoe campaign following backlash calls for a boycotts.
What exactly are they apologizing for? For featuring an Israeli? How could that possibly be considered “inclusion?”

Jerry Seinfeld’s support for Israel is now enough for some performers to walk away from the stage.
Several acts have withdrawn from an upcoming comedy festival in Lisbon ahead of Seinfeld’s headlining performance, with comedian Inês Aires Pereira saying she would not share the event with someone who defends views she considers “indefensible.”
Seinfeld has remained unapologetic in his support for Israel, previously describing the “Free Palestine” movement as a way of saying “you don’t like Jews.”

At the Venice Film Festival, Susan Sarandon made herself out to be a victim, claiming she was being denied opportunities in Hollywood because of “positions in my industry held by Zionists.”
This is the same actress who was dropped by her talent agency in November 2023 because of remarks she made at a pro-Palestinian rally, just one month after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and while hundreds of Israelis were being held hostage by the terror group Hamas.
More than two years later, Sarandon says the fallout is still following her in Hollywood.
Sorry, Susan, but you don’t get to make an irresponsible decision, defend the pro-Hamas movement, and then play the victim. Actions have consequences, even in Hollywood.

Pink is speaking out after Macklemore turned his opening set at Ed Sheeran’s New Jersey concert into a pro-Palestinian protest. Sharing footage of the concert with her roughly 12 million Instagram followers, Pink called the incident “awful.”
Macklemore wore a keffiyeh, called to “Free Palestine,” and performed “Hind’s Hall” alongside imagery from Gaza.
Thank you Pink, for making it clear that Macklemore hijacking a concert to push his own politics is unacceptable.

Macklemore chanting “Free Palestine” while lecturing everyone about morality will never not be funny considering this man once went onstage in a giant prosthetic nose, black wig and beard and somehow claimed the antisemitic Jewish caricature was just a “random costume.”
Mac, maybe sit this one out. You have no business lecturing anyone about human rights.
