Steven Seagal says Tom Cruise was one of the worst casting choices in The Last Samurai.
“They have a 5-foot-2-inch little guy, whether he was straight or gay, I don’t know. He had never been to Japan. He doesn’t speak Japanese. He has never held a sword. They make him the Last Samurai.”
“I was raised in Japan. I was schooled in martial arts. I was given the title of master. We got 450,000 phone calls from everybody in the world saying, ‘That role was perfect for you. How did that happen?”
“Most of the people I know didn’t like the film and didn’t go see it. It’s just a classic example of Hollywood and the politics.”
@joshxhowie I’m trying to get my head around this, do you think that the call for boycott of Israel is because of Jews or the war crimes and continued occupation of the West Bank?
@joshxhowie@CHinchliffMP Not sure exactly where the blood libel is I couldn’t see it in that letter, also he is quoting the un commission view of genocide.
I've written to the Health Secretary calling for the NHS to break with Palantir.
This isn't a normal company.
Palantir's close ties to the genocidal Israeli military should rule it out of any public contracts.
@DavidHadingham@CHinchliffMP No Dave. I’m a Jew who is seeing my community incessantly attacked, people murdered, synagogues and ambulances firebombed, because of lies like these. It must be difficult for antiracists like you to understand though, who consider our every action to be motivated by money.
Are you a vile antisemite? Do you blame everything on Jews? Do you consider yourself a good person and completely non racist? The Green Party wants YOU!
So many people crowing about bitcoin at the moment are going to get their arses handed to them on a plate full of very humble pie when the cycle turns up, as it will.
It has been repeatedly demonstrated that bitcoin is a volatile asset that goes to the extremities of both pessimism and optimism, that it is also cyclical and that it crucifies hubris.
Those cheering the bear market have clearly not learned.
Instead of cheering the win, I urge you to take advantage of this bear market and use it to learn.
Please don't reply to this with uninformed FUD. I will only mute you.
I’m going to that fucking Villa match with a big Star of David and if the police stop me for my safety rather than deal with the threat of Islamists then this country is fucked. Anybody who wants to come join me then great.
@joshxhowie@oxfamgb So, by your reasoning it’s all Jews committing these atrocities? Some critical thinking might lead you to a different conclusion but I guess you’re on a mission?
You have to understand that baked into the Palestinian identity is resistance itself.
It doesn’t know how to exist without being in opposition to the “occupiers.” It doesn’t know how to express itself outside of conflict.
When the slogan “free free Palestine”becomes totally synonymous with your identity, what happens when you’re finally… free?
What would the keffiyeh even mean?
The hardest thing is constructing a positive identity - something you’ve been trying to articulate with the British case.
It’s infinitely harder for the Palestinians because their identity has been stoked and manufactured by grievance and hatemongers since its inception.
This is the most difficult part once the war is over - and I don’t hear anyone really talking about it yet
The people who have been screaming for 2 years for the war in Gaza to end have fallen completely silent after President Trump presented a plan for the war in Gaza to end.
Strange...
@narindertweets Basically I think no one will actually be thick enough to believe anything Rylan says unless it’s about the spice girls …. Oh! wait a minute!
I don't believe in anyone losing work or an income due to their opinions (unless they cross the legal threshold), but we need to have a open and frank discussion why Gary Lineker was hounded for having an actual opinion, and used his own personal platform for it, whereas Rylan is making multiple factually incorrect statements, spouting right wing lies, on a national TV programme and he remains intact?? Can we discuss this in an adult and kindly manner please?
Kemi Badenoch has paid tribute to Norman Tebbit. Tebbit was a member of the Monday Club, a National Front-adjacent Tory faction that advocated the forced repatriation of black people.
@aycee_3@KNEECAPCEOL I don’t think they don’t like England, I think they don’t like the way the English rule over Ireland (Northern) and indeed lots of other countries over the centuries. You should go I think you’ll like it.
@jeremycorbyn Still you cannot explain why Hamas is not providing food for its people?
During the World Wars, the Nazis fed German citizens. They didn’t expect the allies to do so.
Are you saying that ‘Palestine’ relies completely on the charity of others yet Hamas still started a war?
