It’s a standing joke in my family that I love Keanu Reeves. It started in my 30s when I loved how he looked, but over the years, it’s morphed into respect for a man who works in a filthy industry but seems to have retained a strong moral compass and avoids all of Hollywood’s worst trends. It says something about the man that the Hamas lovers have come after him.
One of the hallmarks of totalitarians is “hit lists.” Indeed, if you’re at all familiar with Giovannino Guareschi’s delightful Don Camillo books from the 1950s, which describe a small Italian village divided between communists and Catholics, you know that one of the stories describes how the communist mayor, Peppone, tries to protect Father Don Camillo, who’s been put on a list when a rumor goes around that the Communists have won the national elections. Because this is Guareschi, the story is both amusing and imbued with a deep humanism, but the underlying point is the same: leftists make kill lists.
When I was in Vietnam, in Hue, which was the heart of where the Tet Offensive was fought, our guide told us that once the Americans pulled out, the Viet Cong took their list and began the slaughter. An older man, it was clear from how he spoke that he remembered those days.
That’s why it shouldn’t be any surprise that the Hamas folks have been making lists. A list emerged last week on which people could get answers to whether “your fav author [is] a zionist.” The list is color-coded, telling people whether the person is “Pro-Israel/Zionist,” trying to remain balanced, silent on the subject, “It’s complicated,” or “Pro-Palestine/Anti-Zionist.” The list includes dead writers as well as the living.

If John Wick had a sword, he'd put it down and pick up a pencil to kill everyone.
A pen is messier than a pencil.
He’s the guy you send to kill the boggy man.
A fountain pen for sure. Ballpoint less so. Not sure about a rollerball. :)
He is absolutely no joke! Videos of him at shooting range show he realy knows how to handle guns very well- and is a crack shot-
“He’ll kill them dead. He is no joke.”
Word! His mastery and skill at both judo and firearms use is well above military level.

Frankly, I think the Hamas goat lovers have messed with the wrong guy here. Keanu is beloved - because he doesn’t put his politics out there, and is very quiet about his personal life.
They may have bit off more than they can chew. That man knows how to use a gun!
What’s John Wick?
I saw that. Amazing. Accurate and fast.
now THAT was f-ing funny! thanks for the belly laugh. now I’m hiding all the pencils. can’t be too careful.
I saw the Joker do that.
That’s definitely not being excellent to each other.
“With a freaking PENCIL!”
LOL
How can I get on the list?
It’s a movie that Keanu Reeves played a ‘retired’ assassin.
He actually learned (and practices) weapons handling for the role.
