    I have read this response from Boots, but I don-t find it very convincing personally. Per his point on Megan-s relation to her father, Larry Ellison stepped in to directly manage the company in 2018 due to financial trouble, and also provided the financial backing to get it off the ground in the first place. Sure she isn’t her father, but she will take his money and help with running her business.

    Idk maybe I really am naive and being undisciplined, but something just does not sit right with me with the argument, “I have to make art that goes towards funding zionism in some way because there is no alternative.”

      Yeah, I’m also dubious, but it isn’t clear to me if she and her company are themselves actually funding zionist projects or if she merely received nepo money from her dad who is.

      Fwiw a decade ago she also executive-produced the Israeli film Death in the Terminal about the lynching of an Eritrean refugee. 🤔

      David Ellison is her brother, btw; their dad is Larry Ellison.
