    “I felt like a Nazi… it looked exactly like we were actually the Nazis and they were the Jews” - Israel newspaper, Haaretz, publishes testimonies from Israeli soldiers

    There are graphic details in the article which is a ‘‘shot and cry’’ style literary work

      Not major spoilers but:

      It’s not Superman himself, it’s the movie (although it’s not ‘anti-Jew’, it’s anti-Israeli); Barovia is a US ally and they’re being armed by the US and they’re invading a brown country (that actually looks and sounds more Indian than Middle Eastern but Israelis probably can’t tell different brown people apart). There’s a ton of bureaucracy yelling down Superman for getting involved and stopping the Barovian army early on in the movie.

      Like I said in another post, I didn’t see it at all until I saw comments from people here on hexbear. I thought they were doing a Russia-Ukraine comparison. The only facts we have are, 1) one country is the aggressor and the other is the defender, and 2) the aggressor is technically a US ally, and 3) they’re doing it to “save the people of the land from their leaders” or something like that, which I know is something everyone says when they invade (see recent Iran bombing) but I felt it was more of a thing Russia says than Israel lately (until the Iran bombing lol).

      The fact that Zionists immediately jump to say “Hey! That’s us!” is hilarious. Admittedly the defenders look Middle-Eastern, which is probably the biggest hint I missed.

    Kinda seems like it was ultimately in Israel’s interest that the US would force them to pump the breaks after each escalation and encroachment into Palestine. A few headlines might break through into the general public, but it would be swallowed up just as soon with the normal churn of the news cycle. Hidden by infrequency and “Sounds far away and complicated”. But this time it been allowed to go on for so long, its eclipsed the production cycle of a whole movie. I mean, I don’t expect Superman™ is gonna do much to change hearts & minds, but the mere existence of it has got to be some kinda bellwether.
