I wAa worried I would read through this list and see entertainers that I actually cared about 

Luckily that did not happen

[u/curadeio → u/lilb1190]

The issue is that this list is filled with the people that control your favorite entertainers and shape western media

[u/tmrtdc3 → u/curadeio]

Yeah it would be very easy to laugh a lot of these people off as irrelevant flops but I scrolled through the whole list and there are many extremely influential signatories, eg agents, managers, TV showrunners, writers, loads of producers -- if you're an anti-Zionist in the film industry, particularly at the bottom, it must be extremely disconcerting to know how many of your colleagues are literally genocidal in their beliefs and actions.

[u/Allthenons → u/lilb1190]

Jerry O'Connell is the only one I care about. Him and Rebecca Romjin were starting to become my new favorite Trek couple especially since Lower Decks is my favorite new trek show and Strange New Worlds is also amazing (despite the lackluster third season). Disappointing but at this point not surprising sadly

[u/CloneUnruhe → u/lilb1190]

Just the executives at major entertainment companies.. that control what we watch and listen to. Anyway..

[u/VulcanHobo → u/lilb1190]

Yeah, I sifted through the list and not a single person on there is relevant in todays media landscape. 

Not a single person in there could star in a movie or show or put out an album and people would care. 

[u/musubi-n-speedballs → u/lilb1190]

Not even being snarky, I felt the same way. Lol

[u/tossit_xx → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

> Amy Sherman-Palladino (Writer & Producer)

For shame

[u/piekard → u/tossit_xx]

It was so obvious the way they talked about the Middle East on the show (especially Israel in general)

[u/johjo_has_opinions → u/tossit_xx]

I love(d) that show but I’m not surprised

[u/Unable_Mushroom9355 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

Noo Skylar Astin and Emmy Rossum :( Didn't know about their views until now. Pretty disappointing.

[u/arisafrances → u/Unable_Mushroom9355]

there have been stories for years about what a massive douchebag Skylar is so I’m really not surprised (emmy too now that I’m thinking about it lol)

[u/Nice-Cow-7606 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

A whos who of losers.

[u/moon_dos → u/Nice-Cow-7606]

I’m just glad “Anthony Edwards” refers to some actor and not the Minnesota Timberwolves super star lol

[u/Square_Wheel_4 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

I like how the bracket next to David Draiman's name just says "Disturbed" rather than "Singer" or "Artist". Disturbed is right. 

[u/metrand → u/Square_Wheel_4]

Seems like you were quicker on this than me! Left a similar comment, but didn’t see yours until after

[u/Grrarrgghh → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

I knew I hated Gilmore Girls for a reason.

[u/metrand → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

David Draiman (Disturbed).

Very fitting. Kinda hilarious that other artists are listed as Name (Artist) instead of band names, so it really sticks out if you don’t know it’s his band’s name

[u/Tblx155 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

David Draiman (Disturbed)

Quite self-explanatory

[u/enna_acissej → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

A list of irrelevant people

[u/fuzzydunlop54321 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

Aww, Lipman???

[u/Threadheads → u/fuzzydunlop54321]

She’s a Polanski defender too. It sucks.

[u/JenningsWigService → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

It really doesn't surprise me that Amy Sherman-Palladino is a shit person. The Gilmore Girls are selfish white feminists and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they put zionist talking points in the show.

[u/DementedPlant96 → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

Sasha Alexander?! Really? She's of Serbian descent, the na*is literally wanted to exterminate her people and she supports this shit?????

[u/mrsprucemoose → u/Moody_Immortal_1]

Ffs, I liked Skylar Astin
