The UK Lawyers for Israel state that the boycott could potentially be in breach of the UK Equality Act. In the letter, seen by Variety The Equality Act 2010 is the key legislation in the UK protecting against racism and discriminatory treatment”.
They added: “If the UK television and film industry colludes with acts contrary to this legislation, organisations are themselves likely to be in breach. It also creates a dangerous precedent: one that condones the exclusion of individuals and/or organisations based solely on their nationality, ethnicity, and/or religion.”
These people are delusional. After wiping away the Gaza Strip, leaving not one tree or building standing, they want to talk about exclusion based on nationality, ethnicity and religion? Over movies? Holy shit!
The Gaza Strip is more than just one city. And they’ve leveled most, if not all, of it.
You’re correct and that’s what I meant to say but my early morning brain got me again. I’ll correct the earlier comment.
Is there a handy list of media companies in Israel that we can use to avoid their shit?
Swap Israel for Russia, and suddenly that would be something completely reasonable nobody talks about. But it’s Israel, so of course they’re gonna play the racism/religion card.
At first I was confused why they’re writing letters to the BBC and Netflix. But I soon realised that Israel sympathetic lawyers want to pressure the BBC and Netflix to blackball the actors that have signed a letter refusing to work with Israeli film studios whilst Israel genocides Palestine.
Ok I get it now. These lawyers are cunts.
