this is not me taking a stance on that particular q, I just find it fascinating how conflating settlements with the rest of israel — just like conflating israel with the rest of world jewry — encourages some conclusions that are, shall we say, counterproductive to the cause

he's not THAT allowed!!!

yes yes yes

the movie is great btw

a lot can happen in four months but right now I'd bet he gets the gold bc MARTY isn't just a great performance, it's a ready-made oscar campaign: dreams and sacrifice and visible effort

and casting alone does not make fictionalizing a true story a worthwhile enterprise!
