Jewish on Yik Yak | hi, just saw the movie. yes i could see the tikkun olam making a comeback. i went into it thinking there might be something people saw that could make it seem like an anti-zionist movie, so i was super open-minded. i didn’t see it. but REALLY good movie.

Has anyone seen the new Superman? Does it really condemn the genocide in Palestine? If so that’s so cool that it’s going back to its radical Jewish roots of tikkun olam PLUS it has its first Jewish actor in the role

this is just my unbiased review of the movie. i thought it was great and definitely a comeback for DC since their other movies have flopped hard.

also, if anything, the invasion plot in the movie reminded me more of let’s say the british taking over a county of pocs. like same exact drive and excuses.

Boravia is also very clearly heavily inspired by Russia, from the architecture choices and interior design to the president residing in the former royal palace to the name being clearly Russian/Eastern European and them speaking a language close to Russian. It makes sense because the movie started development during the beginning of the Ukraine conflict and people are influenced by the world around them On the other hand its also a fictional movie with fictional places and a different history

i know boravia seems heavily influenced by russia, a lot of it reminded me of that, but i meant the mindset of the leader reminds me of the brits wanting to “save poc from themselves” as we have seen in history. yk? but yes it fictional with fictional places

That’s the same justification they used for the colonization of Palestine tho. Which the British spearheaded

palestine was colonized by the ottomans beforehand, it was more of a grab once the ottoman empire fell. they saw it as a reason to acquire more land

The ottomans were a land based empire vs a foreign settler colony coming in to displace Palestinians

You said it was colonized by the ottomans and I said no, it was a land based empire? Vs Israel which was created as a settler colony to replace Palestinians and their culture/language/religion etc

ottomans did colonize the middle east, including palestine. also, i was talking about an entirely different situation that was when palestine became the british mandate of palestine. not israel. i thought i made that pretty clear.

That was not colonization but an empire conquest. And yeah… that’s what I’m talking about too? It was a British mandate to become a Jewish nation state. You know like the Balfour declaration? That was signed in 1917 and efforts to colorize Palestine to a Jewish state immediately went underway then thanks to the British

What’s off? Bc it appears that op has an alternate version of history that they learned

It was not colonization. Colonization is a process that happens through the transition of feudalism into capitalism so feudalism existing does not make it colonization. The British colonized Palestine with the intention of having a colonial outpost in that region for strategic advantage. Realizing making it a Jewish state of European immigrants (in the first half of the century) the easiest way to do so. Disagreements about how to administer said state doesn’t mean it wasn’t the plan all along
