From Exodus to Marvel: The Israelification of Hollywood
MintPress News (RSS)

The introduction of an Israeli Mossad agent as the latest Marvel movie character crosses the line, even by Hollywood’s poor moral standards.

In contrast, Palestinians are only counted as citizens in certain parts of the country so that the government can...
