      Thank you for the TW, seriously. Pop culture convos can get dark fast and people act like “it’s just celeb gossip” when it’s actually really heavy stuff sometimes. Appreciate when mods or OPs add these because it lets folks tap out before they get retraumatized instead of finding out mid thread.

      There isn’t even a “dark humour” aspect to it – that was just gross to hear.

      “we regret the hurt and offense they have caused” is a pretty weak response to such a horrible thing to say.

      Zionists are some of the cruelest pieces of shit on this planet. Their only source of happiness is death and destruction.

      The reply from the festival

      >The Tribeca Festival is aware of the concerns raised regarding a clip circulating on social media and unequivocally condemns the offensive and unacceptable remarks made by Elon Gold and Lizzy Savetsky at the premiere of The Wedding Entertainer (The Tale of Moishe Badhan).
      Sexual violence and human suffering should never be mocked or minimized. The comments do not reflect the Tribeca Festival’s values, and we regret the hurt and offense they have caused. We have not been able to reach the filmmakers.

      Edit to add : this article from the BBC which says “Kristof said his reporting was “based on conversations with 14 men and women who said they had been sexually assaulted by Israeli settlers or members of the security forces”. The article carried first-person descriptions by alleged victims of sexual abuse, including…. [TW horrific details]”

      I don’t have a lot of background about this but it seems Gold was subversively making a dark humor comment criticizing Israel’s use of rape and Savetsky elevated it to mocking Palestinians and Gold was genuinely uncomfortable.

      Or did I clock that wrong? I know nothing about these two people.
