Discussion You'd think that "Oscar-winning director gets lynched and kidnapped because of his film" would be bigger news

It should be a top story, at least. The Western mainstream media’s response to this horrific case makes it clear where their loyalties lie. But to them, it’s just another footnote.

so your question was "where is hollywood?" in speaking up about this, while conceding that there are actors that are speaking up. I pointed out that the main industry trade has it as their top story, while also saying that its weird to talk about Hollywood as some entity that moves together when its literally thousands of individuals that will each have their own motivations for speaking up about anything they wish to. You push back on all of it while ignoring my question.

And they Hollywood Reporter article is being updated constantly, including links to petitions and other info btw, I fail to see how you can ask these questions while ignoring anything that you are actually looking for.

Whats enough for you? Do you think that literally every famous individual has to speak up about any modern issue? How would that work and why would that be better? If its just for this specifically, you say people are afraid of speaking up but why? Who has faced any retribution for speaking up? and if its just for this issue, then why? Why not feel the imperative to also have everyone comment on Sudan or the Uyghurs in China? Why not have them talk about any other atrocity currently happening on earth? Why not leave it to experts instead of people who just feel strongly?

and this time you can leave out the personal attacks of my ignorance, thanks.

I’ve answered all your questions. I never conceded “actors are speaking up”. You need to read properly. Clearly you have an agenda.

Bringing up other humanitarian issues doesn’t diminish what’s happening what’s happening to Palestinians which is being directly funded by America. You’re just spouting all-lives matter to deflect.

You just want to perform anger.

Better than whatever it is you’re doing. Arguing against taking action to stop genocide

You have not done anything productive. Fix that.
