For those unaware, Mark Hamill played Luke in Star Wars.

    So Rabid Response 47 is the “official” White House response account? Run by who, some sweating intern trash talking behind a keyboard? Pulled them out of CoD VoIP chat to run the account?

    Reminds me of Seth McFarlane’s response to the Parents Television Council trying to get Family Guy cancelled: “That’s like getting hate mail from Hitler.”

      People always rip on him squeezing blue milk out of that alien seabird’s titties. What got me was the alien seabird turning and staring at Rey while Luke was doing it. Like WTF was that supposed to mean? “This my man, bitch!”

    Being hated by NAZIs is like … 35% of my day!

    That is the only joy with being around NAZIs: You get to make NAZIs miserable, pissy, and suffering by just having ever existed.

      Looking at the evidence, this was in October 2023. That was really before what IDF was about to do became clear, and the popular coverage was solely about October 7.

      Question is what his take is after the context became more clear.

      I’m not going to be overly judgemental over a pro Israel stance in October 2023.

        Not that this makes it right, and his views are clearly uninformed (or at least under informed), but he signed that letter like 5 days after the October 7th attack.

        A month later he replied “same here” to a tweet saying “I’m pro-Palestinian AND vehemently anti-Hamas. I’m also pro-Israel AND vehemently anti-Netanyahu.”.

        And several months later he tweeted “I fully support Gaza/Palestine. Despise Hamas.”

        While I would prefer he take a more hard lined stance, and there’s a lot to be said about how taking a soft stance on a genocide might as well be the same as supporting it, I think it’s still fair to say he’s gone less “Dark Side” and more “Fall of the Rebublic era Jedi Master on the Council… uh… side”.

            Yep, there is no shame in being wrong. Choosing not to learn on the other hand. The fact that he’s continuing to update his views as he learns more is the right action.

              Right? Wrong but improving is way better than right but getting worse. Give it a few months, I know which one I’d rather have on my side.

        It’s not as bad as it might appear at first glance.

        In the website the sources seems to be from 2023, just after the october attacks.

        At the time I felt the same way, but Israel just would not stop, so I gradualy changed opinion as I just saw more and more pointless violence and dispicable behavior from Israel.

          I’m confused. What do you mean “would not stop”? Israel’s response was genocidal mania from the beginning. What was the limit of collective punishment on civilians you were ready to support? Was it measured in weeks or in dead children?

            To those of us who were completely out of the loop about the Israel/Palestine conflict before 2023, which is most people, the first thing we heard about the entire thing was October 7. So, for a lot of us, the initial response to the conflict was “Why did Palestine do this!?” until shortly thereafter where we all found out why and went “Oh. Nevermind, go Palestine!”

      Would it kill you to be honest instead of posting shit without any context?

      Christ, some of you lefties are worse than the goddamn republicans when it comes to thoughtless propaganda and groupthink.

      i bought that game because of him, and because so immersed in it i promptly forgot it had famous voice actor John Rhys-Davies. And featuring Tim Curry as Melek!
