As We Reflect on Passover, Let’s Recognize That the Mandalorians are Space Jews

Emily Swallow as The Armorer and Wesley Kimmel as Ragnar during a helmet ceremony scene on Disney+'s 'The Mandalorian.' They are standing outside and facing each other. The Armorer is in her full Mandalorian armor. Ragnar is wearing regular clothes and a blue Mandalorian helmet. His long, wavy dark hair sticks out from the bottom.

I'm certainly not the only one who sees the Jewishness in Mandalorians.

Scholastic Attempted To Sanitize Japanese History in the Name of ‘Amplifying Asian Voices’

apanese Americans pose with photos of themselves taken while they were in relocation camps in WWII, during a press conference on June 22, 2019 in Lawton, Oklahoma to protest the military base, Fort Sill, being used to house 1,400 migrant children.

Gibson’s absence from the trailer is odd due to his co-starring role, but it’s not a surprise, as he has an extensive anti-semitic and racist past.
