Oh shit I thought he would be against Israel, seeing all the previous material he made. So he's a massive hypocrite then. Making fun of Americans for their crimes against humanity, then to support Israeli crimes against humanity... What a fucking disgrace.

The term "assumption is the mother of all fuckups" applies to me this time. Sorry.

All his previous material painting all Muslims as terrorists is pretty on point for an Israeli. In no way does he make fun of Americans that's just the excuse he uses.

Comedian settles slander case with Palestinian grocer he labeled ‘terrorist’

British comedian Sasha Baron Cohen has reached a settlement with an innocent Palestinian grocer whom he portrayed as a terrorist in his 2009 movie ‘Bruno,’ according to reports on Friday.

Britain’s The Daily Mail reported that Ayman Abu Aita brought a slander suit against the movie star and against late night talk show host David Letterman.

In the comedy, Baron Cohen plays Austrian fashion journalist Bruno - aiming to make peace in the Middle East. He interviews Abu Aita, who is labeled in a caption as a member of the West Bank-based militant group Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade.

Baron Cohen then went on the talk show with Letterman on U.S. TV channel CBS to describe his encounter with a ‘terrorist.’

A Christian and ‘a peace-loving person’ who lives near Bethlehem in the West Bank, Abu Aita has never been a part of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade or participated in any terrorist activity, according to his court complaint papers.

The Palestinian grocer said he agreed to the interview that appeared in ‘Bruno’ thinking that he will be discussing peace activism with a real journalist, the complaint further read

Abu Aita said the movie prompted death threats against him, damaged his grocery business and made him fear for the safety of his family.

Fucking disgusting. Thank you for sharing.

I mean he’s the textbook liberal Zionist. He thinks it has extreme edges that don’t represent the whole. Not internalizing that the whole is by definition extreme.

I think that’s the more dangerous ideology in the long term because it keeps the support going
