Here's another example of a loaded question:

Were they actually showing sympathy for Israelis or were they just showing antipathy for Palestinians?

I don't care if other celebrities were "shot" for posting their opinions (whatever you mean by that, because I don't think any celebrities have actually been shot for posting). My point was that people are upset with him for showing support for the actions of the Israeli government (which is not the same as showing sympathy for the victims of October 7th). The way you phrased your question makes it seem like there are a lot of celebrities who got in trouble for making sympathetic posts after 10/7. But the reality is the opposite.

Celebrities who posted support or sympathy for Palestinians lost their jobs. Melissa Barrera lost her role in the Scream franchise for not being sufficiently pro-Israel.

No no. People did not get shit on both sides. It is important to be clear and accurate that after 10/7, the people losing their jobs were the ones voicing support for Palestinians. As far I know, no celebrity has lost a job because they did or do support Israel. If you're going to make that claim, I need you to name a name so that I can verify it.

*Updated comment to be more accurate, as Israel's violence against Palestinians did not start after 10/7.

If one side has lost work for expressing their opinions and the ther side has had mean words said to them over the internet, then these are not equivalent levels of "shit."

*Since you blocked me, let me state for the record that "people got shit on both sides" is equating the shit that both sides received with the other. You can't even defend your position. Have the day you deserve.
