It is like any other business, those in it are of many different opinions about many things, you have right wingers, you have left wingers, you have gay people, you have people who hate gay people, you have the bad, you have the good.
The prejudice in the piece is more toward 'Hollywood', and it is a typical, tired right wing thought form. It is based on nothing but a belief that in Hollywood, they are all alike. Who is they? Depends on which time of history we are looking at. Sometimes conservatives have said they are all gay, they are all Communists, they are all race traitors. The details of the language are not nearly as important as the overall meme, 'Hollywood controlled by an evil cabal'. It is Rush Limbaugh territory. A realm of fools and idiots.
And of course, I said nothing about criticism of Israel, I said this piece about the film business is a prejudicial, right wing retread based on nothing but paranoia. Criticize Israel all you like. Just don't put words into my mouth, that comes off as disrespectful. If you want to know what I think about something, ask me. Don't speculate and gossip with your cohort, just ask me.
