Then everyone will start using it as an excuse to attack other people. Especially the cops - they hate being filmed. They will claim it was "aggressive" and justified violence.

A guy called Graham Linehan was just convicted of smashing a girl's phone, when she filled an interaction where she asked him why he called her a "groomer" on twitter, and worse. It was the right judgement, he had no need to do it, and mere annoyance can't be enough or everyone will be smashing stuff they dislike.

The sane way to deal with it is to get Netanyahu to the The Hague for his war crimes trial, arrest the "Settler" terrorists, and dismantle the apartheid in Israel.

There were Jews living there, along side Arabs, long before Israel existed. Palestine used to be one of the nicer parts of that region. The way back to peace is for Israel to have a South Africa moment and a completely new government. Zionism has to be ended like apartheid was.

It's such a great movie, and predicted so much. Short news updates that trivialize important events, decades before Tik Tok, for example.

The costume is probably the best practical robot garb in cinema history. Believable, incredibly cool, moves really well (credit to Peter Weller there too)... It's perfection, and makes a great statue.

There are other obvious differences too. The US isn't currently committing genocide, hasn't murdered over 70,000 people and maimed or permanently injured many more in the last couple of years.

Ironically the accusation that criticism of this behaviour is antisemitic is itself antisemitic. Conflating the Jewish identity with Israel and its war crimes is the tool that Zionists use to silence critics, including other Jews. There is currently a big legal struggle in Israel over the conscription of ultra-orthodox Jews, who where there before Israel existed and who don't want to be sent to die or commit crimes on behalf of genocidal war criminals.
