Adam retweeted this arresting poster from the Israel Project, a rightwing Israel lobby group that has now started a campaign to thank Johansson for standing up to the anti-Israel bullies by quitting her work for a global antihunger organization. I don’t think it works. (But then, there are a few things I’m not willing to do for Middle East peace.)
I’d suggest a caption contest, but most of them would surely be unprintable. I defer to Mairav Zsonzein:
This is sick on many levels RT @israelproject Send Scarlett Johansson a personal thank you. http://t.co/nqclUi7Imc pic.twitter.com/U8WV5wf6ZH

Meanwhile, speaking of grossouts, SodaStream CEO Daniel Birnbaum is now accusing Oxfam of funding the BDS movement! From Haaretz:
Oxfam’s replies are pretty good. In my book they’re redeeming themselves after their wishy-washy initial responses:
Other tidbits about the SS business:
“Ah, Mr. Prime Minister, where is your hand?”
Scarlett and her fuck-me straw.
Bibi and his last straw
Note that she is not looking at Bibi either. He’s too uuurgh
Why isnt bibi drinking it “Israel project”?
Did he poison it?
I’ve lost a lot of respect for Scarlett Johansson over the past weeks. Never put any thought about the actress into the same light as Sarah Palin before recently, but couldn’t help it, as I live in Wasilla. At least Johansson mostly keeps her mouth shut.
When the qualities of the many new adds presented at today’s Super Bowl are compared this coming week, Johansson will probably be angry at how bad the product (meaning the ad itself) is described.
