Popular Hollywood icon Emma Watson has come out in support of the “Free Palestine” movement, or more accurately, the Obliterate Israel movement, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Those goals are well documented in all the original Charters of the major Palestinian organization. This goal has been gaining increasing international support from those ignorant of history.
When the ignorant are as popular as Watson, more damage is done. This aggressive movement is already widely spread on Western campuses and even in high schools by special interest Islamic lobbies.
Watson even attracted attention from the Israeli Ambassador to the UN, in a humorous but rather serious comment:
Gilad Erdan tweeted a condemnation of Watson with a photo of the post. “Fiction may work in Harry Potter but it does not work in reality,” he wrote. “If it did, the magic used in the wizarding world could eliminate the evils of Hamas (which oppresses women and seeks the annihilation of Israel) and the PA (which supports terror). I would be in favor of that!”
“Emma Watson expresses solidarity with ‘Free Palestine’ Movement”, by Arielle Marsden, Jerusalem Post, January 3, 2022:
Emma Watson reposted a post on Instagram that expressed solidarity for the “Free Palestine” movement on Monday.
The post was originally posted by the Bad Activist Collective account in May and shows a sign reading “solidarity is a verb” on the background of a “Justice for Palestine” protest in May.
In the caption, Watson wrote a quote from scholar Sara Ahmed about solidarity: “Solidarity does not assume that our struggles are the same, or that our pain is the same, or that our hope is for the same future,” said the quote. “Solidarity involves commitment and work as well as the recognition that even if we do not have the same feelings or the same lives or the same bodies, we do live on common ground.”
Israelis in the comments didn’t hesitate to express their opinions on the post with some simply commenting encouragement for Israel and some informing Watson that she should have educated herself before posting.
Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan tweeted a condemnation of Watson with a photo of the post. “Fiction may work in Harry Potter but it does not work in reality,” he wrote. “If it did, the magic used in the wizarding world could eliminate the evils of Hamas (which oppresses women and seeks the annihilation of Israel) and the PA (which supports terror). I would be in favor of that!”
Watson joins a long line of celebrities and influencers who have expressed solidarity with the “Free Palestine” movement. Such comments became more popular in May during Operation Guardian of the Walls…..
Check Burry says
Not as attractive on the inside then, as what I can see on the outside.
mortimer says
Emma Watson would have made a fine Nazi. Her Jew hatred fits right in with Islamo-fascism.
gregbeetham says
I wonder if glamour puss realizes that in order to free Palestine she would have to eradicate Islam out of there, that’s the only way to set them free.
Uncle Dave says
All too often, the “cute and bubbly” or the “handsome and rugged” are brain-dead… and easily manipulated… just as demonstrated in the first Star Wars movie; “These are not the droids you’re looking for.”
In the case of so-called “Palestine” and the BDS movement, Don’t look behind the curtain or you’ll see the hate and atrocities.
So, Emma can join George Clouny and his wife, Don Cheadle, Viola Davis, Kathy Griffin, Mark Hamill, Michael Moore, Any Poehler, Any Schumer, Mark Ruffalo, John Legend… and so many others who are either sick or stupid… Personally, I have not been to or bought a newer movie in 15+ years…
Walter Sieruk says
Emma Watson might be an easy person to get along with , but since she has taken that awful stand siding with the terrible “Free Palestine” movement she must also be a very confused person.
Chrissie01 says
a disinformed person…like most young people of the West…
free Palestine…what could possibly be a more noble cause?
If you have no idea about anything
Walter Sieruk says
Good point.

Yes–very common. She probably assumes she is supporting a “two-state solution”–I doubt she realizes that this movement is for the outright destruction of Israel–but she should have found out before opening her mouth.
Infidel says
Emma who? I haven’t been following Hollywierd for at least 15 years now, if not more
gravenimage says
The first Harry Potter movie came out in 2001.
Infidel says
Oh, I never read nor watched Harry Potter. Ignored that whole saga, so didn’t have to boycott JK Rowling when she was lecturing us about Trump: I ignored her cult from day 1
gravenimage says
Actually, both the books and films are very good. Oddly, they are about people who stand against evil even when it is terribly dangerous and unpopular with self-righteous appeasers–this actually sounds like Anti-Jihadists today…
There is an excellent poser here who uses the username “dumbldoresarmy”, which is a reference to this series.
Jim says
The Palestinians present themselves as an oppressed minority, but they are not a minority. They are a collection of Muslims, many from outside of Palestine. Some of them came to Israel after the Jews over the past 200 years. Others are from other areas, and are not the indigenous residents of Palestine. They did not claim the name Palestinian until the 60s. They want to take over infrastructure, farms, irrigation systems, ports, roads and utilities created by the Israelis. That is not really liberation but rather conquest.

Very true.

I suspect that a lot of these people in the entertainment industry would be afraid to go against the group think type left wing opinions that their peers subscribe to. Even if they had a different opinion on some issue, they would be afraid of being rejected by their fellow entertainers if they said what they really believed. Also, who cares what entertainers think about issues on which they most likely have never done any research on at all and therefore know nothing at all about?
James Lincoln says
I think that you’re onto something, tim.
Young actors and actresses trying to break into the business of Hollywood don’t dear rock the boat – and kill their career.
Old-timers who have already “made it” like John Voight – a staunch Trump supporter – are pretty much bulletproof and can state what they want.
tim gallagher says
Yes, I think that young actors, musicians, etc, would find it hard to go against the flow and not join in with all the fashionable left wing orthodoxy, all the group think, on all sorts of issues. I didn’t know that Jon Voight was a conservative. Because there are so few of them in the entertainment business, I take notice of the individuals who are on the conservative side of politics. James Woods and Kelsey Grammer ( I recall him saying that it is pretty lonely being on the conservative side of politics if you are in the entertainment industry) and also, I think, Angie Harmon who I remember from “Law and Order”. There must be others, but they’re about only ones I know about. As you say, when you are older, I guess you wouldn’t care so much although I guess that such people might still be treated in an unfriendly manner by their left wing fellow actors, etc. They could be frozen out. But, as their careers are pretty secure, it probably wouldn’t matter all that much.
James Lincoln says
I agree, tim.
Thank you for your reply, and best wishes.
Michael Casmer says
now will she be “outed” by hollywood? or made a “daryling?
Pray Hard says
Just another typical hollywood idiot.

Hollywood actress Emma Watson expresses solidarity with ‘Free Palestine’ movement
…………….
This is depressing. She certainly doesn’t stand against evil as her character did in the Happy Potter films–but I doubt that she understands that.
Wellington says
Ignorance is one of the greatest allies of evil. Cowardice is another. Apathy yet another.
For evil to prosper and succeed many negatives must be aligned with it. This is a given.
Boycott Turkey says
How comes no Hollywood actors and actresses have any solidarity with North Cyprus under illegal occupation from Turkey I bet they wouldn’t be able to find Cyprus on the map let alone care about Cypriots who can’t return to there homes
Tony Wilson says
Emma Watson like so many have limited information on Israel. Much of this is due to Israel/Jewish lacking media coverage.
I do believe she should look further but like so many she is caught up in wokeness. An evil plague well intrenched in the UK
James Lincoln says
Cheerio Meredith played “Emma Watson” on the old Andy Griffith show – and was fantastic.
I hope that this new tragically uninformed “Emma” from the feature article does not corrupt Meredith’s legacy.

I wonder just how much this silly woman knows of the deviousness of politics in the Arab world? For one thing, the ( then) Soviet state indoctrinated, armed. and trained the Arabs to hate and annihilate the Jews. There were NO Palestiniens. The ideologues in Moscow persuaded Arabs back then to that fine piece of rubbish. The goal throughout this entire scheme was to inflict damage – one way or another, on the US. Humiliated by the loss in battle of the Arab armies against the Jews, the Soviet think tanks came up with yet more appealing tripe ( human rights etc) for the naive ‘Palestiniens’ to fight and die for. Does anyone wonder why ‘’Palestinians’ are the longest refugees in the world? All the time that they have lived deprived, substandard lives in refugee camps, other refugees have flooded our countries from Africa, Thailand etc., and are now enjoying freedom and prosperity – AND they are neither dying in warfare/terrorism/martyrdom for their decisions, nor are their energies being eaten up by hatred of the ‘enemy that never was’. A pox on any member of the glitterati who attempts to use human suffering to polish her dubious standing in our world.
Peter35 says
Jesus H. Christ, yet another leftist Hollywood loony, dammit, is ‘Dirty Harry’ the only actor there with any sense?
Wellington says
Peter35: There are others beside Clint Eastwood (e.g., Jon Voight and Kirstie Alley) but they are now few and far between. And this is why conservatives like myself regularly refer to Hollywood as “Hollyweird.”
Just as big business and professional sports in America have gone woke, so has Hollyweird. It represents a burden to, actually an assault upon, traditional America and is meant as such because these “entities” want traditional America destroyed. Yes they do and this is indicative of what a fight we are now in here in America between the forces of darkness and the remaining forces of light. Yep, this stark, this bleak.
About a 50/50 chance for America to survive. Ditto for the West in general. Major cause of this: Not Islam, it’s just an outside excuse to destroy the West which it of course hates; rather, it’s the enemy within, i.e., modern Western Leftism which is moronic, uninformed, stupid overall, but powerful and well financed. This is the reality of our time.
Proud Islamophobe says
What on earth could this young little girl possibly know about politics?
