so, where did this whole misunderstanding start? in 2017, chris was casted as ari levinson in a movie called red sea diving resort. this is a movie based on a true story.
since then, so many people have been easy to call him a zionist, as if he ACTUALLY is one.
i’d like to add the fact that i’d you actually watched the movie, you’d know that palestine was never even mentioned in it. the people who went on that mission actually disobeyed and went against their government
here’s what an actual palestinian says about what zionism is and chris clearly does not endorse any of that
/creds to the owner
also, not many are educated about the israel/palestine conflict bc it’s not something taught extensively in american schools and chris didn’t go to college
everytime we ask for receipts of him being a zionist, they’d send us this clickbait article that contains not one quote from chris, but rather from the director who wanted to use chris’ name to promote his flop movie
chris is the only cast member who gets called a zionist meanwhile he’s the ONLY cast member that never gave it any promotion whatsoever. make it make sense
not just that, he even retweeted his own freaking tweet from years back right after ben shapiro’s pro israel tweet from 2019
i know it was a mistake from his side for taking the role in the first place and its clearly obvious that he regrets it. if he didnt, he’d talk about it & promote it, just like how other actors who’ve starred/is going to star in white saviour movies are doing so (i’ll go into it)
there’s even the possibility that he might’ve accepted to the role without even knowing the script at all. contracts like that do exist
also, if you actually knew or did even a teeny bit of research about chris’ political views, calling him a zionist will make zero sense
see the woman next to him? that’s rashida tlaib. she’s is the first woman of palestinian descent in congress
also, since we’re on this topic, i’ll add this here as well
brie larson’s white savior film was overly racist to indians and yet she never gets called a racist
brad pitt starred in world war z and that was considered actual propaganda. but do you see people talking about that?
chris hemsworth is the executive producer of the white saviour movie called extraction that portrays muslims as villains and casted indians to play bangladeshis
his bio, header, pinned, posts, tweets, retweets?
that’s what being proud of a movie looks like
also, chris h had creative control over his own movie. that’s actually something to be mad at and not towards an actor who had no say in their movie
see the difference now?
again, i would like to point out the fact that BESIDES him producing this movie, playing the lead and promoting it in every possible way, i have absolutely nothing against him. i’m not going to cancel him or call him islamophobic
remember when zac efron took the role as ted bundy? do you see people calling zac a serial killer/kidnapper/murderer/rapist? no
because he was a c t i n g
here’s a clip from chris’ most recent interview (esquire)
now listen. he said “out of town” instead of even bringing up the name.
if he was “so passionate” about it why didnt he mention it? he clearly looks pissed while talking about it too
so!! i think i’ve made myself very clear. please, please think twice before going around calling people zionists or anything even similar to that. it’s super ignorant and extremely hurtful. be aware of the whole situation before “cancelling” anyone
i’m done here
