“The Social Reckoning” is Sorkin at his best. As with his TV classic “The West Wing,” it is thoroughly entertaining while leaving you much more knowledgeable about its subject matter after you’ve seen it. #filmsky

THAT ALIEN, SOUND has something to say about female empowerment, but also has one of the most absurd – if not silliest – premises for a science fiction movie. #filmsky

I deeply resent people making comparisons between Jews and Nazis. I make an exception for Stephen Miller.

Right. If he is so full of regret, why did he vote to confirm Todd Blanche?

Any accusation of rape/assault must be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. If true, the perpetrators should be punished to the full extent of the law. But let's not pretend every single accusation is true. I remember Tawana Brawley.

I'm old enough to have seen this first run in the theater, and several times since (as a child) but don't remember this. What sticks out in my memory is that the voice cast included Judy Garland and Robert Goulet.

Both Hamas -- the authority in Gaza -- and the PA -- in the West Bank -- support terrorism. It's clear you're merely echoing their propaganda line and don't have a clue yourself.

Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
No, YOU are the mouthpiece for a genocidal terrorist organization. Your repeating the Hamas propaganda line says it all. Are you even fooling yourself?

What's truly embarrassing is being exposed as a mouthpiece for genocidal terrorists like Hamas.

Based on whose figures? Hamas? Who claim their armed terrorists were innocent women and children? Stop with the hate-filled propaganda. One can criticize the current Israel regime without engaging in your lies.

Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Based on what definition of "genocide?" Hurling accusations are easy, especially for extremists.

Something you never have to worry about as you have none. You might try learning something of the history of the region before demonstrating your ignorance.

Like Trump, you live in a delusional bubble, and are IMPERVIOUS to facts. You are clearly not worth wasting any more time with as you are clearly consumed by your hate.

Dear Jew hater, I do no support the current Israeli government, but that is NOT their "clear public policy." (BTW, there is no such group as "the Palestinian people." That was a made up term invented in the 1960s.)

Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
It is NOT genocide. In fact, the Palestinian population has INCREASED.

Grayhm intended the film to address issues of suicide and homelessness among veterans, and that’s definitely part of the story, but it turns out to be much more. “Sheepdog” is a sleeper that will amply reward those who have been hungering for a serious, grown-up movie. #filmsky

You're a Jew hater. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. There was NO "genocide" committed by Israel. Is being a Nazi a sympathizer typical of the Aussie far left? Hilarious that you think the UN has any credibility on this.

There is no "genocide." Learn what the word means. You can criticize the rightwing Netanyahu regime, but the only ones guilty of "genocide" are the terrorists of Hamas.

There is no "genocide." There may or may not be "war crimes," but you obviously have no idea what "genocide" is.
200
Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
It is not genocide. You obviously don't have the slightest clue what the word means. The Palestinian population has GROWN over the decades. And those that have cooperated with Israel have been targeted by your beloved genocidal terrorists of Hamas.
000
Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Hamas is in CHARGE of Gaza. Where do you get these fantasties of yours from? They have refused to disarm. When they're not using Gazans as shields, they're murdering them themselves for "cooperating" with Israel.

Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Hamas REFUSES to lay down their arms. They are true evil. Netayahu is horrible but he is not a Nazi. That you think he is says more about you than him.

Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
It is not genocide. And the list is loaded with anti-Israel groups. I'm not defending Netanyahu's rightwing regime. I'm saying words have meaning, and genocide does NOT apply here. It is a smear to liken Jews to Nazis.

Don't post when you're on drugs. It makes you look stupid.

Genocide is exactly what it is NOT. Learn what the word means. That a bunch of Israeli critics mouth Hamas talking points doesn't make it so.
200
Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Because they either don't know what the word means or they're taken in by propaganda. Whatever war crimes you want to accused the Netanyahu regime of, genocide is NOT one of them.
000
Daniel M. Kimmel @dkimmel.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Both things can be true. The Palestinians have never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity. But the settlement policy under the rightwing Netanyahu regime is a disgrace.

Every accusation by a woman should be taken seriously and thoroughly investigated, and perpetrators should be punished by more than a slap on the wrist. That said, I do remember Tawana Brawley.
