      This is deplorable. I don’t know how people can look at what’s happening and turn around with their head in the sand and deny it.

      notice how no one remotely talented or interesting supports israel lmfao (well except for most of radiohead but that’s the only exception i can think of)

    3. Yeah I’m going to go with genocide scholars analysis actually over the creator of Gilmore girls tbh.

      Never cared about Gilmore Girls, and don’t plan on starting now 🥰

      How that show became a cult classic is beyond me. Sorry to the fans out there, but it looks so boring.

      It’s literally why I had to stop watching GG at around S6. When I heard Rory describing the Palestinian genocide as sibling bickering with those who colonized and ravaged our country…? yeah, I knew I was in the sunkin place.

      I can only describe existing as a Palestinian in the west as like constantly being cut by a knife, or feeling like someone tears off a layer of skin whenever discussing our suffering

      Fuck this genocide denying, grotesque freak of nature

      Edit: I made my words flow a bit clearer and thank you to the kind ppl for the awards.. I didn’t expect folks to notice my comment but I had to describe how demoralizing it is to be bombarded by this Zionist propaganda since birth

      I never liked Gilmore Girls. Any time I say that I get jumped lol, but now I am vindicated!

    7. They know it’s a genocide by Israel, but they’ll sweep for it anyways and try to lie bc they love Israel murdering children.

    8. I stopped watching Mrs. Maisel when the Zionism presented itself front and center. They did it so casually, and I’m sure when the show first aired, no one even noticed or cared. You can’t ignore it now.

      What makes me especially sad is the argument rests on “intent” with no quibble about the outcome. 

    10. Let me guess… a lot of them own homes on illegally occupied land and are trying to justify their shittiness.

      Absolutely deplorable to deny that a genocide is occurring.

      This is one of many letters she has signed. It’s not surprising. Any show where they randomly mention Krav Maga is written by a Zionist. Rory had an Israel poster in her dorm. Why are you surprised

    12. This is seriously upsetting that so many people are equating antisemitism with not wanting Gazan children to be murdered.

      I know this isn’t the point but the fact one of their top names is the long-time agent of JK Rowling really is just a cherry on top of a list of genocidal has-beens and freaks. Also my lord, are these people sniffing their own farts? In what world are Boy George and Patricia Heaton “industry heavyweights”.

      Haven’t read the letter, but if their headliner names are Redstone, Messing, and Bialik, that says a lot about the many much more famous people they can’t get to sign on to denying genocide.

    15. My God, enough of this. In cold defiance of every major humanitarian NGO, of countries with a conscience like Spain and Norway, of the UN, in cynical dismissal of the most-recorded genocide in history that we have all seen unfold on our screens, horrific atrocities, they’re still trying to say “don’t believe your lying eyes, don’t believe the facts.”

      It’s beyond reprehensible. It’s plain evil to be doing this song and dance in 2026.

    16. CananadaBatmaaaan on

      Genocide denying… tbh, basically the same pile as holocaust denying. Their stance is invalid.

    17. MutedProfessional406 on

      Do these people even watch the news or try and get informed? Genocide is real and your boy is a war criminal. Your little letter is not going to change that.

    18. Jerry O’Connell signed this letter? That’s extremely disappointing. Does anyone know where Rebecca Romijn stands on the genocide?

    19. Exoticpoodleskirt on

      Gilmore Girls is a phenomenally conservative show at heart, so I can’t say this is all that shocking.

    20. I will forever be proud of myself for getting blocked by Debra Messing. We went back and forth on IG after 10/7 and I ended up saying she was a disgusting person and that now I understood why Megan Mullally stopped being friends with her. She blocked me afterwards.
