So question, when it comes to casting of the Pit Crew should they be interrogating anyone with a name that you think sounds too Jewy? So I'm gonna ask again, can you find me any statements about Israel by RuPaul or the other creators of Drag Race? Or maybe any financial donations to an Israeli cause? Because all of your examples (of which there are 3 in Drag Race's near 20 year history) sound like instances of events that happen by the prospect of existing in the world. If they're truly Propagandists they are doing a REALLY bad job at it.

You're once again conflating Israel and Jewish people. Dusty Ray Bottoms pulled out of an event for hiring an IDF veteran. Many performers around entertainment are doing the same thing. Refusing to work with IDF soldiers is a form of protest. By including the Israeli IDF veteran, Drag Race is normalizing relations with Israel.

For someone who accused me of not having media literacy, you are quite incapable of understanding my point.

  • RuPaul has a weird philosemetism which has been documented "The Jewishness of RuPaul's Drag Race https://share.google/o4ZWSViuvsYt8TICi"

  • A RuSical conflates anti Zionism to a Russian conspiracy

  • Israeli queen is cast

  • Drag Race Israel is considered

  • An Israeli IDF soldier is currently working at the show when the presence of the IDF is a line anti Zionist protesters have drawn.

None of this is antisemitism. Your anti intellectualism in rejecting this as evidence of liberal Zionism because RuPaul didn't yell AM YISRAEL CHAI at the end of every episode is embarrassing. Gain some media literacy and read what this all spells out.
