.@MarkRuffalo has spent years attacking Israel. And professionally? He’s still landing massive franchise roles, including Spider-Man and the next Avengers movie..@macklemore turned @edsheeran’s stadium tour into a political protest, got dropped, then blamed a Jewish stadium owner. The fallout didn’t end his career. He got a sold out tour of his own.#FlorencePugh says speaking out cost her hundreds of thousands of followers. Meanwhile, she has a Netflix series, a Spider-Man cameo and a major role in the next Avengers movie.#JavierBardem has repeatedly accused Israel of “genocide” and backed a boycott of Israeli film institutions. He later said his activism actually brought him more job offers.00:00#MsRachel has made Gaza a major part of her public platform. Far from being pushed out of the mainstream, she’s still getting major media coverage while expanding her brand.#AdamBrody built much of his career playing Jewish characters. Then, right before Season 3 of Nobody Wants This, he publicly called the war in Gaza a “genocide.”.@SusanSarandon says she was blacklisted for her activism. Yet this year alone, she appeared in a Cannes promo, took the stage at Coachella and was celebrated at Venice.00:00For these celebrities, speaking out against Israel didn’t exactly shut doors. So maybe the question isn’t whether this kind of activism hurts careers. Maybe it’s whether, in today’s entertainment industry, it can actually be good for business.
This is a despicable reality
