Apparently Marvel is okay with these facts.<br />
 Courtesy of <a href="https://directorblue.blogspot.com/2023/11/exclusive-hamas-vs-israel-cheat-sheet.html">Doug Ross</a>.
</p>
<p><a href="https://behindtheblack.com/blacklisted-americans/">They&#8217;re coming for <em>you</em> next:</a> In a sign that the corporate world is still kow-towing to pro-Hamas anti-Semites, Marvel Studios <a href="https://live.jpost.com/international/article-810520">had decided to erase</a> a long-standing Israeli character from its next Captain America movie, changing her from a former Israeli Mossad agent to a former Soviet spy with no links to any Jewish heritage.</p>
<blockquote><p>While in the original Marvel comics continuity, Ruth Bat-Seraph serves as the Mossad agent mutant superhero Sabra, in a recent summary for the February 2025 film Bat-Seraph is described as a former member of the Soviet Russian Black Widow super spy program – the same program that trained Scarlett Johansson’s Avengers of the same name.</p>
<p>The summary made no mention of Bat-Seraph’s codename, Sabra, which comes from the slang term for native-born Israeli, though other characters are referred to by their alter-egos.</p>
<p>Anti-Israel activists have taken issue with the inclusion of Sabra in the film since the unorthodox star’s casting was announced by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige at the 2022 D23 Expo event in Anaheim, California.</p>
<p>American Muslims for Palestine launched a letter campaign against Disney and Marvel Studios soon after the “distasteful” announcement, complaining that the character served “a state that is recognized by the entire human rights community as an apartheid regime, guilty of ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people.”</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-106774"></span><br />
The irony of this, as noted at the link, is that Marvel chose to change the character to a <em>Russian</em>, a country that invaded the Ukraine for no cause except to conquer it. Israel in turn is simply attempting to destroy the anti-Semitic Gaza organization, Hamas, that did essentially the same as Russia, invade without cause to rape, torture, and murder men, women, children, and <em>babies</em>. It is also trying to rescue the innocent hostages this murderous organization kidnapped and still holds.</p>
<p>As noted <a href="https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/07/16/marvel-erases-jewish-superhero-in-upcoming-captain-america-film-n3791861">here</a>, Sabra has been a Jewish Israeli character in the Marvel pantheon since 1980.</p>
<blockquote><p>They are erasing an Israeli Jew identity because <em>controversy</em>, and turning her into a Russian. So Courage! Much Principles! [emphasis in original]</p></blockquote>
<p>Essentially, Marvel is just another corporate bootlicker to the DEI, critical race theory, queer agenda, and pro-Hamas crowd. It now touts these ideas openly and with enthusiasm in its movies and comic books, and anything that crowd opposes it quickly erases. And apparently, Jews and Israelis must be banned, because our new 21st century Nazis demand it.</p>
<p>Maybe Marvel &#8212; to better please its pro-Hamas overlords &#8212; should consider firing any Jews it might have in its work force. Or maybe it can have them wear yellow Star of David patches so that others will be able to identify them and avoid them in order to not get dirtied by them.</p>
<p>Or maybe you and I and everyone else should simply stop paying any money to see or buy anything Marvel produces, since by doing so we are apparently supporting a Nazi-loving anti-Semitic company.</p>
