For Variety VIP+ subscribers: A ‘Mogul Memo’ to Bob Iger from @awallenstein: I’m not buying your ABC sale denial wp.me/pc8uak-1lDmhw

I think a lot of people who decry the immorality of Israel’s West Bank policy, the dangers of its far-right govt, and the humanitarian horror of its bombing campaign would be well served by taking Hamas seriously as a political actor whose actions have agency and consequences
