I am a man boiling with rage.
Yesterday, I went with my son to watch the new Superman movie. Superman! The ultimate superhero, a character created by two Jewish immigrants, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, in the 1930s. The character is supposed to represent hope, justice, and light.
The actor playing Superman? Jewish. The studios? Owned by Jews.
Even the character of Superman himself, symbolically and historically, is considered to have Jewish roots. A refugee sent from crisis and war to save a better world, created to empower the Jews who returned from the Holocaust.
And what did the pathetic progressives in Hollywood do? They trampled all over this. Instead of presenting a character who defends the weak and fights for justice, they turned it into a disgusting political caricature, where Israel (under a different name) is portrayed as a fascist state, a warmonger, and a close ally of the U.S., which supplies advanced weaponry to fight “poor and miserable farmers (the good Palestinians) with pitchforks and stones.”
And Superman? He comes to save them from bloodthirsty Israel. This is literally a film of incitement against us.
I sat there, next to my son, watching how the film had one purpose: to brainwash the world. They took the ultimate childhood hero, who was supposed to represent absolute good, and turned him into a one-sided, distorted, superficial propaganda tool. They ruined my childhood, they ruined the experience for me, but not only for me, they ruined it for the next generation.
Because my son, with his innocent eyes, asks me: “Dad, why is Superman against Israel? Isn’t he Jewish?”
So let’s talk about hypocrisy.
About how the progressive Jewish studio owners, who hate Israel, hide behind this movie, sitting in their luxurious homes in California, feeling safe in their ivory towers. Aside from having a bar mitzvah for their dog, they have no connection to Judaism and choose to disconnect from the homeland that was founded on the ruins of the people who behaved like them in Europe in the 1930s.
It will come back to them like a boomerang. No matter how much they decorate their houses for Christmas, they will pay the price because history always repeats itself.
They are turning Israelis into the “bad guys,” the Palestinians into the “good guys,” and missiles and terrorism into the “struggle of freedom fighters.” This is their coffin nail as they align with the politically correct studios of Walt Disney.
So yes, I am offended. I am angry. I am disgusted. They are cowards.
And I will tell you here, clearly: The liberal Jews in America are the main contributors to anti-Semitism in the U.S. They, and the push for progressivism in America, the takeover of communication and financial power, and the use of tools to brainwash our children in order to spread your distorted nonsense.
Take your hands off Superman because those who believe in goodness, justice, family, and identity are we — you, your god, is money. Nothing more. You’re nothing but zeros! There is no greater enemy to an Israeli than the progressive American Jew.

“Jews control the media and financial systems and are responsible for antisemitism by brainwashing children” is an impressive density of antisemitic tropes.
They’ll hit critical mass before they hit critical thinking.
your god, is money
Because my son, with his innocent eyes, asks me: “Dad, why is Superman against Israel? Isn’t he Jewish?”
See, that’s interesting, because my son, when he was curious about this article asked: “Father, if someone actively encourages anti-semitic views, even if they are Jewish, by insinuating that Jews control the media and as such, should be putting pro-Israel propaganda into every bit of mass media they can, especially if they invoke irrelevant holocaust imagery to try and shock their viewers into falling into lockstep with their toxic and destructive viewpoint, doesn’t that make them a fascist, trying to both stoke anti-semitism and also accusing anyone they disagree with of being an antisemite?”
He continued “And further, if your mind is so warped by pro-Israeli views that every single piece of media you watch conjures images of a “man behind the curtain” just claiming that that man is Palestinian, not Jewish, doesn’t that mean you are far more of an anti-semite than your average progressive Jew, that Jews who cannot imagine ever getting along with gentiles are functionally just doing the nazi’s work for them? And by frothing at the mouth with rage at imagined enemies behind every corner, and insisting that anyone capable of empathy isn’t a “real Jew” is only going to make these problems worse, not better?”
To which I responded “Fuck, I don’t know, probably, I’m trying to play pokemon, leave me alone.”
your son is cool
He’s annoying. He’s always saying things like “Father, have you been reading theory lately? I notice you’ve been saying you’ll “get around to it” but much like the half finished shed in the backyard, you mysteriously never have the time or energy to work on it, yet you apparently have limitless energy for children’s video games. How can you possibly call yourself a good communist when you neglect even the most basic amount of effort required of you? What difference is there between someone such as you, and a liberal who fully believes in the system, since, for all practical purposes, you are one and the same?”
Then I usually ground him and send him to his room because he distracted me and made me lose my Mariokart race.
Part of the post straight up uses Nazi antisemitic speech pattern about Jews running Hollywood
Tracks with zionism.
“The Nazis and thousands of years of antisemitic conspiracy theories are correct, actually. Jews cannot coexist among Europeans. Therefore, we should leave Europe.”
There’s an entire country where this is the founding ideology.
created by two Jewish immigrants, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, in the 1930s
created to empower the Jews who returned from the Holocaust
Where do you even start with this?
There is no greater enemy to an Israeli than the progressive American Jew.
JVP winning
And then everyone clapped
And that child’s name? Benjamin Netanyahu
The child who hates children the most
Ruthrael forever

Indistinguishable from Turner Diaries
Not as many plot holes tbf
It’s crazy how a properly zionist Superman is “absolute good” but then when he takes the other side, the complaint is that he’s “one-sided”. Like, if he’s absolutely good and should therefore be oriented completely on your side, isn’t that also one-sided?
Edit: Then he does World Jewry tropes but just for the progressive Jews this time.
Lol
He mad
That correction holy shit lmao!
The country he is claiming is “Israel by another name” has been a fictional country in DC lore for longer than Israel has existed. What a massive self own.
Named around the time the Nazis created the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and then invaded Poland
The name already made me think: “they slapped ‘Bohemia’ and ‘Moravia’ together”, interesting to learn it wasn’t a pure coincidence.
Damn. Huge huge self own
It’s so old that it’s literally in the second issue…lol.
:jesus-christ:
Boravia was promised to them 3000 years ago
I, for one, salute James Gunn for making the bold move to make such a timely political statement in a superhero movie of all things, BUT especially a SUPERMAN movie. Superman would completely step in to stop a genocide, and it’s such a fantastic way to point out the fact that this atrocity is literally supervillain levels of evil that, yes, a superhero WOULD fucking come to save those people. And you have to ask yourself, if you’re siding with this abysmally evil country against Superman of all heroes, what does that make you? I have no doubt that Siegel and Shuster (Supes’ creators) would themselves take a stand against Israel’s actions, even though they were Jewish, they were front in center to the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis that they’d no doubt draw the parallels immediately, and probably would be horrified at the things that are done in the name of Jewish people.
Also: I love, love, LOVE, seeing those sweet Zionist tears flow as each and every one of them has a meltdown watching Superman …being, well, Superman and saving the fucking day from evil assholes.
Did Superman’s creators ever talk about Isreal or zionism as it was happening? I don’t know when they passed away.
From the quick google searches I did there is no evidence that either Siegel or Shuster ever discussed Israel. Shuster died in '92 and Siegel in '96, so they we’re definitely around during the time. Apparently, from what I can find, they were both secular Jews too, so I don’t think they would be pro-Zionist in any way, but who’s to say? I can only go off of what kind of material they were writing for Superman at the time, which had very strong progressive (some have even called the early Superman ‘Socialist Superman’) values. It doesn’t seem to me that that kind of sentiment transfers well to a hyper-nationalistic state like Israel, or even the US for that matter. I think they were just two kids that hated injustice (I believe it was Jerry’s father that was gunned down in a robbery).
Apparently, from what I can find, they were both secular Jews too, so I don’t think they would be pro-Zionist in any way, but who’s to say?
Unfortunately not an assumption that can always be made. Elie Wiesel, author of Night and political activist, Holocaust survivor, and activist against human rights violations, was a secular Jew and a huge Israel proponent. Shuster and Siegel may have been secular Jews, but more importantly they were Americans in the mid 20th century. Can’t hold your breath they had good Palestine takes.
Truth. I guess I’d just like to imagine they would, but like I said before, who can tell? I’m a Superman fan so I really hope they would be against Zionism. It’d break my heart to find out they we’re also virulent Zionists, or even sympathetic.
And maybe I’m being too cynical. It’s for the best they didn’t make any public statements either way.
Yeah, they seemed to have been the type that didn’t really step into the spotlight. I’m sure they did interviews, but as a Superman fan in over thirty years I’ve never seen or heard of one (although I’m sure there’s at least a couple, I really should look it up). It’s easy to get jaded when so many seemingly good peple turn out to be vile.
the homeland that was founded on the ruins of the people who behaved like them in Europe in the 1930s.
What an absolutely disgusting human being; Palestinians, and yes that includes Hamas, have a right to defend themselves from colonial invaders.
if my child ever starts talking about israel i’m grounding him
What if he says it shouldn’t exist
Still grounded for not calling it “isn’treal” or “pissreal”
I still prefer Occupied Palestine, and calling the residents the Occupation Force.
so if this guy re wrote the movie, it would be superman vs the farmers?
I mean, he is supposed to defend the American way.
Aside from having a bar mitzvah for their dog
Uh, pretty sure it’s spelled bark mitzvah.
This is their coffin nail as they align with the politically correct studios of Walt Disney.
Shiiit, you know things are going well when Walt Disney is unironically getting called politically correct

Yo dawg, I heard you like to criticize Israel, so I put some anti-Semitism in my accusation of anti-Semitism
politically correct
What is this? early 2000s?
