Also happy to take Harvey Weinstein's money for most of his movies & asking him to apologize when caught assaulting multiple performers. He's made some good movies but he's also a creep, an asshole, and a bit of a fucking idiot tool.

I went on a bit of a rollercoaster there.

Quentin Tarantino no longer lives in Israel though, as of last autumn.

He hasn't addressed the Gaza genocide at all. One would think he'd know, with what films he's made. I believe in that so much I had a hard time believing you at first, then went to read context.

And I have a hot take. I think Quentin isn't really talking politics in that "then I'll die as a Zionist", it's in the context of him refusing to go to a shelter and being asked "what will you do if a bomb hits" and the answer being (probably somewhat jokingly) "then I'll die as a Zionist". I can reason this a bit.

Quentin moved to Israel in 2023 for his wife. And I'm thinking he just does not want to argue with her even if he didn't agree with all the Israeli bs. Just not worth it to him. One would think a massive director would have an easy time finding a wife, but reading the articles, it wasn't. So he's probably being led by his dick in the past few years, and thus hasn't wanted to argue her wife for fear of losing her.

When googling Quentin Tarantino Palestine I can see he visited some army bases in Israel, but I'm thinking if her wife is Jewish and maybe connected a bit, that it may have been someone asking her wife to ask him and he can't say no to her.

So I'm still not 100% convinced he's a genocide supporting Zionist fuckface, but also I'm not 100% sure he isn't one.
