So contrary to what the producers claimed, Strong never actually said 
anything hateful or spread any misinformation about "the peoples of 
Palestine". She supported Israel and condemned Hamas-- a designated 
terrorist group according to the U.S. government-- which is nothing more 
nor less than the official position of Joe Biden and the United States 
of America.

And that's what gets you fired these days in leftist Hollywood.
