Natalie Portman pulls out of Israel award due to 'distressing recent events' there

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/apr/20/natalie-portman-israel-genesis-prize

Excellent news. Great to see celebrities take stand against oppressive criminal regimes engaged in mass killings and oppression.

And before any diehard zionist cries "ANTI SEMITISM!!", she was born in Israel.

They've also had to cancel the ceremony and the ministers want her citizenship revoked. So much for the democracy and freedom of Israel LOL.

She even didn't make a personal statement. I hope she will be at least honest enough to renounce her Israeli citizenship, which she doesn't deserve.

Apart from her oscar nomination, golden globe win, regularly featuring in movies that have defined pop culture and was significant enough that the lack of her presence at this show meant it had to be cancelled, no.

People with criticisms of israel shouldnt have citizenship? Doesnt sound like the beacon of democracy in the middle east, pretty fascist in fact!

Agreed. Very lovely to see even Israelis are waking up to the problems. Their ancestors would be ashamed.

Apparently they broke up :frown:

Pretty nonsensical, you'd think after she had an infinity stone inside her they'd make it work.

Ah the tears.

Because she as a citizen did nothing for her country except spitting at it.

Actually no. She's done a lot for Israel. She's represented Israel on an international stage, reenacting plays of famous israelis, speaking fluent Hebrew etc etc.

She's done far more than you.
