Tom Cruise ‘saves agent from being fired’ over pro-Palestine posts
The Independent UK ^ | MAANYA SACHDEVA

Tom Cruise reportedly stepped in to back his agent, one of the top Hollywood representatives, after her pro-Palestine social media posts sparked an industry-wide controversy.

Maha Dakhil, 48, was among the most important talent managers at reputed firm Creative Artists Agency (CAA) until last month, when she faced intense criticism for describing Israel’s war against Hamas as “genocide” on Instagram.

“What’s more heartbreaking than witnessing genocide? Witnessing the denial that genocide is happening,” she reportedly captioned one of her posts.

She apparently also reshared a statement, first posted by the Free Palestine account, which read: “You’re currently learning who supports genocide.”

“That’s the line for me,” Dakhil wrote at the time, reacting to the post.

FTA:“I made a mistake with a repost in my Instagram story, which used hurtful language. “I’m sorry for the pain I have caused,” "I’m so grateful to Jewish friends and colleagues who pointed out the implications and further educated me. I immediately took the repost down.”
In other words, "some of my best friends are Jewish".😖🤦‍♂️.
Just another standard issue lameass meaningless apology and clarification. She left out my personal favorite statement, THIS ISN'T WHO I AM. And Pretty Boy Cruise is acting as her PR hack. I actually thought he was pretty damn good in Top Gun. Disappointed but not surprised.

Offending Jews is not the issue. Supporting terrorists is.

Yet CAA had no problem supporting the anti-white terrorists of BLM.

Wasn’t there someone else in Hollywood who got recently sanctioned for supporting Hamas?

Most people on this site are ok with offending gays, trans, blacks but not jews? Seems silly to me.

A reflection of the inner man neither wise nor a prince.

You’re not different than the left in principle. You just disagree on the ‘naughty words”.

Did she give money to Hamas, is she helping then with intelligence? That would be one thing. Understanding or trying to understand both sides of a conflict isn’t supporting anyone. You dont like her politics (which is fully understandable) but to me, the principle of allowing people to speak freely is much more important than focing everyone to agree. Retweeting “wrong opinions “ should in no way be illegal.

There was a shooting of a gay night club a few years back. If someone, immediately after that, tweeted, “You shall not live with mankind as you do with womankind” would you want them fired from their job?

But killing Jews is not genocide.

It’s about money in his case
Often Hollywood will burn money for politics like all their anti war movies during bush years and so on

But not with Tom

He’s too big

Scientology has a ton of Jews in their ranks

Wonder how that fits?

This woman is clearly anti Israel and so on

These are strange times

The howl of anti semitism on the left should give the 2/3 to 3/4 Jews who voted in this atmosphere should take heed

Some will but not enough I don’t think

Soros and Wyss etc

The big fish are already exploiting it to bash Israel

They and their orgs like Arabella can get leftist intersection mobs on the street in hours and they did

Media is complicit too

It’s a quandary for any Jewish leftist

I hope Israel and Jewish conservatives realize who their most reliable friends in the west are

Ahem that would be my group

I offend everyone

I’m at already today on the chicks crash P8 thread

And I support Israel completely and as a non dispensational Christian

Jewish leftists deserve criticism

They helped create this anti Israel crap from their pals and some are fomenting it

Call em out same as anyone

Soros

Im surprised the Hungarian intelligence services have allowed to survive

Pity

While you wrote "Most people on this site are ok with offending gays, trans, blacks ..."
thereby equating blacks on a racial level with sexual deviants.

illegal procedure, unsportsmanlike conduct, racist stereotype ... typique

Actually that is entirely consistent. In both instances they support terrorism.
