How is all that allyship with BLM working out for you, my Jewish friends?

Hundreds of Metro Detroit Jews stranded at D.C. airport by ‘malicious’ bus drivers

Hundreds of members of Detroit’s Jewish community flew to Washington, D.C., to march in solidarity with Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza on Tuesday, but some of them say they had trouble participating because of what they said was a “malicious walk-off” by some bus drivers.

Local members of the Jewish Federation of Detroit and the Jewish Community Relations Council went to the country’s capital to focus the national conversation on freeing the estimated 240 hostages Hamas took from Israel on Oct. 7, said David Kurzmann, senior director of community affairs at the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.

But some buses hired to transport “a significant number” of the groups’ participants from Dulles International Airport to the site of the march, according to Kurzmann, failed to appear, which delayed and in some cases prevented their arrival at the event.

“We have learned from the bus company that this was caused by a deliberate and malicious walk-off of drivers. Fortunately, many were able to travel to the march, and we are grateful to the drivers of those buses that arrived,” Kurzmann said in a Tuesday statement.

‘The Marvels’ Director Nia DaCosta Describes Critics Of Woke Marvel As “Virulent And Violent And Racist And Sexist And Homophobic”

DaCosta made her thoughts known during an interview with Variety’s Angelique Jackson ahead of the film’s opening weekend.

The director was first asked if her use of the Beastie Boys’ “Intergalactic” in the film’s trailer was a shot at critics of Brie Larson’s acting.

Jackson explained, “The lyrics, ‘Well, now, don’t you tell me to smile,’ seemed especially pointed, evoking an early scene from the first Captain Marvel where Carol is approached by a smarmy biker who revs his motorcycle engine to get her attention and says, ‘You got a smile for me?’ When Carol doesn’t react, he calls her a ‘freak’ under his breath and heads into a store at an L.A. strip mall. Her revenge: stealing the jerk’s bike.”

DaCosta said the song had nothing to do with Captain Marvel critics, “That’s the first time I’ve realized that those lines are in the song.”

She added, “I cannot say that that was on purpose on my part. Sorry to be disappointing.”

Don’t worry, Nia. I’m sure you have literally hundreds of more disappointments in you just waiting to burst forth.
